Depending on what you want to display with your QComboBox, you'll need to write your own model, inheriting QAbstractListModel, reimplementing rowCount()and data().

Then, use QComboBox::setModel() to make the QComboBox display it.

If you just want to display strings, you can use a QStringListModel, provided with Qt.
