In Qt, I can get the selected text of a QComboBox by using the combobox->currentText() method. How can I get the selected value?
I searched for help but I couldn't find a method currentData() which I expected to find. I could only find combobox->currentIndex()
Is there a smarter way to do it other than combobox->itemData(combobox->currentIndex())?
Update: This is no longer necessary as of Qt 5. A currentData() method has been added http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html#currentData-prop

A QComboBox provides a means of presenting a list of options to the user in a way that takes up the minimum amount of screen space. A combobox is a selection widget that displays the current item, and can pop up a list of selectable items. A combobox may be editable, allowing the user to modify each item in the list.
It seems you need to do combobox->itemData(combobox->currentIndex()) if you want to get the current data of the QComboBox.
If you are using your own class derived from QComboBox, you can add a currentData() function.
