I'm attempting to create a drop down property for a custom widget I'm creating. So when in designer and you scroll down to the custom properties, under the regular widget properties, one of them would be a drop down menu. The data to populate it will be coming from our API and currently is a list of string-items. Yes, it would be treated specially by Designer, since it's the only place it would be seen. In the PyQt4\examples\designer folder, it carries a number of custom widgets that will load into designer. The datetimeedit widget creates a custom drop down menu property. The plugin pulls its information from the QtCore libraries and from the QCalander Widget. Though I am unable to find a better example or even explanation of how it's actually creating that drop down menu. > > > Is there any other examples or help for this kind of setup? > > Have you seen this article? > > http://qt.nokia.com/doc/qq/qq26-pyqtdesigner.html No, I haven't, thanks. That might step in the right direction. I can't run it right now, so I'm not sure if it is putting a spinbox as it's property or just the value from the spin box. > > David Andrew -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
