[PySide] trying to mimic addressee field in email client

[Cristián Maureira-Fredes]

Hello Frank,

I haven't had time to find a workaround of your situation,
but at least I understand the origin of the issue.

editingFinished() will be trigger twice, once you Tab/Enter and once you change the focus of the QLineEdit.
This seems to be related to a really old Qt Bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-40

Maybe you can find a workaround with another QLineEdit signal, like returnPressed().

Cheers

Subject: [PySide] trying to mimic addressee field in email client

Hi all,

I am trying to mimic how the addressee widgets (“To” and “CC”) work in email clients but can’t get it right.
Upon valid input I would like to add a new row to teh list for additional input.
If the input is not found in the completer’s list O would like to keep the editor open and reset it to an empty value.

I am using a QListView with a delegate that opens a QLineEdit with a completer to check the input against a set list of strings.
With the below code I currently get “editing failed” errors when the input is incorrect (though the editor does stay open as desired).
With a valid input however the code adds two new rows instead of just one.

If somebody could have a look and offer some advise that would be awesome!

Cheers,
frank
