Class: QgsFieldComboBox

class qgis.gui.QgsFieldComboBox(parent: QWidget = None)

Bases: PyQt5.QtWidgets.QComboBox

QgsFieldComboBox creates a combo box to display the fields of a layer. The layer can be either manually given or dynamically set by connecting the signal QgsMapLayerComboBox.layerChanged to the slot setLayer.

The QgsFieldComboBox is a combo box which displays the list of fields of a given layer. It might be combined with a QgsMapLayerComboBox to automatically update fields according to a chosen layer. If expression must be used, QgsFieldExpressionWidget shall be used instead.

setAllowEmptyFieldName(self, allowEmpty: bool)

Sets whether an optional empty field (“not set”) option is shown in the combo box.

New in version 3.0.

Parameters

allowEmpty (bool) –

setField(self, fieldName: str)

setField sets the currently selected field

Parameters

fieldName (str) –

setFields(self, fields: QgsFields)

Manually sets the fields to use for the combo box.

This method should only be used when the combo box ISN’T associated with a layer() and needs to show the fields from an arbitrary field collection instead. Calling setFields() will automatically clear any existing layer().

Parameters

fields (QgsFields) –

setFilters(self, filters: Union[QgsFieldProxyModel.Filters, QgsFieldProxyModel.Filter])

setFilters allows filtering according to the type of field

Parameters

filters (Union[QgsFieldProxyModel.Filters) –

setLayer(self, layer: QgsMapLayer)

Sets the layer for which fields are listed in the combobox. If no layer is set or a non-vector layer is set then the combobox will be empty.
