Detailed Description

Completer is a QCompleter that allows different way of filtering the model, not just by filtering strings that start with the

See also

completionPrefix (default behavior). Completer is a bit hackish as it reimplements a methods (splitPath) from QCompleter in a way that is not intended. Disclaimer, it might not work in all contexts, but seems to work fine with a QLineEdit. e.g.: QStringList model; model << "toto tata tutu"; model << "tata toto tutu"; Completer completer(model); completer.setModelFiltering(Completer::FilterWordStartsWith); QLineEdit lineEdit; lineEdit.setCompleter(&completer); ... If the user types "ta", both entries will show up in the completer If the user types "ot", no entries will show up in the completer however using

FilterContains would have shown both.

Completer::model() might return a filtered model (QSortFilterAbstractModel) different from the one that was set. QCompleter::setModel should not be used and setSourceModel used instead.

FilterStartsWith is the default behavior (same as QCompleter).The completer filters out strings that don't start with

completionPrefix FilterContains is the most permissive filter, the completer filters out only strings that don't contain the characters from

completionPrefix FilterWordStartsWith is useful when strings contain space separated words and

completionPrefix applies to the beginning of any of the words in the string.
