QInputDialog.getItem() get item index

Question

I have some list and QInputDialog. There may be same strings in my list, so i want to get not the string result but item index. Is it real?

QStringList list;
for (Serial serial: serialList->vector) {
    list.append(serial.name);
}

QInputDialog *dialog = new QInputDialog();
bool accepted;
QString item = dialog->getItem(0, "Title", "Label:", list, 0, false, &accepted);
if (accepted && !item.isEmpty()) {
    qDebug() << dialog->?????; //here i want to see index of choosen item
}

I've tried to use result() but it is not working. Help, please.

No, QInputDialog has no such method. But of course this information has combobox inside dialog.

Can you access this combobox?

I think that it is not good idea. Look at the source code of QInputDialog:

void QInputDialog::setComboBoxItems(const QStringList &items)
{
    Q_D(QInputDialog);
    d->ensureComboBox();
    d->comboBox->blockSignals(true);
    d->comboBox->clear();
    d->comboBox->addItems(items);
    d->comboBox->blockSignals(false);
    if (inputMode() == TextInput)
        d->chooseRightTextInputWidget();
}

As you can see your combobox is hidden by d-pointer and it is normal practice in Qt(hide implementation details). More information here.

Probably the best solution:

Use indexOf() method from QStringList. For example:

int index = list.indexOf(item);
