PyQt5 - How to add model to ComboBox

Last Updated : 25 Apr, 2025

In this article we will see how we can set model to the combo box. Model is used to set the items of the combo box, in order to set the model we will use setModel method. Note : If we add model after the insertion of items it will clear all the elements so model should be added before any insertion of elements

Syntax : combo_box.setModel(model) Argument : It takes QStandardItemModel object as argument Return : None

Below is the implementation -

Python3

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a combo box widget
        self.combo_box = QComboBox(self)

        # setting geometry of combo box
        self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 150, 30)

        # geek list
        geek_list = ["Sayian", "Super Sayian", "Super Sayian 2",
                                               "Super Sayian B"]

        # making it editable
        self.combo_box.setEditable(True)

        # adding list of items to combo box
        self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list)

        # creating a model
        model = QtGui.QStandardItemModel(0, 1)

        # creating a item
        item = QtGui.QStandardItem("New model")

        # adding item to the model
        model.appendRow(item)

        # setting model to the combo box
        self.combo_box.setModel(model)



# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
