[PyQt] Combobox with Multiple Columns

[Willem Buitendyk]

Thanks Dave.

I actually just figured this out before lunch and have it working as you suggest with QTableView.  In my case, I’ve just set the query so that the first field is the one I want the value from.  Works very well.  I also hide the horizontal and vertical header for a cleaner look.

Cheers,

Willem
