CheckableComboBox in PyQGIS (waiting for choice)

753 views Asked by At

I am using this code in QGIS's built-in python-editor. How can I make the script wait while I mark the necessary lines, and only then continue execution? So far, I cannot do this: the window starts, but the script continues to execute and therefore there is no way to use the select list. For example, can I somehow add the "Ok" button there (as in a standard dialog box)?

The problem solved by adding checkable_combobox to the QDialog. Here is the code using QgsCheckableComboBox(): https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/376901/how-to-put-qgscheckablecombobox-into-standby

from qgis.PyQt import QtGui
from qgis.core import *
planet_list = ["Venus", "Earth", "Mars", "Jupiter", "Pluto"]
items = QgsCheckableComboBox()
items.addItems(planet_list)
dlg = QDialog()
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(items)
dlg.setLayout(layout)
dlg.exec_()
print('\n\n-----------CheckedItems: ', items.checkedItems())
