## Signal Documentation

  `QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("filterChanged()"), target_slot)`

## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QWidget | parent=0
| ) |  |  |

Creates a new filter combo box.

Parameters:

  | parent | The parent widget.

QString currentFilter | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  the current filter, either something like "*.cpp *.h" or the current mimetype, like "text/html", or a list of those, like " "text/html text/plain image/png", all separated with one space.

QString defaultFilter | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  the default filter, used when an empty filter is set.

  setDefaultFilter

bool eventFilter | ( | self, |
|  | QObject | a0,
|  | QEvent | a1
| ) |  |  |

QStringList filters | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  all filters (this can be a list of patterns or a list of mimetypes)

setCurrentFilter | ( | self, |
|  | QString | filter
| ) |  |  |

Sets the current filter. Filter must match one of the filter items passed before to this widget.

setDefaultFilter | ( | self, |
|  | QString | filter
| ) |  |  |

This method allows you to set a default-filter, that is used when an empty filter is set. Make sure you call this before calling setFilter().

By default, this is set to i18n("*|All Files")

  defaultFilter

setFilter | ( | self, |
|  | QString | filter
| ) |  |  |

Sets the filter string.

setMimeFilter | ( | self, |
|  | QStringList | types,
|  | QString | defaultType
| ) |  |  |

Sets a list of mimetypes. If defaultType is set, it will be set as the current item. Otherwise, a first item showing all the mimetypes will be created.

bool showsAllTypes | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if the filter's first item is the list of all mimetypes
