I am trying to build a GUI with a dropdown for multi-select in python, PyQT5 but, the display is only showing single item instead of a dropdown. Is there a way to include the options as a drop down ?

QlistWidget has the setSelectionMode: QListWidget and Multiple Selection But the combobox does not seem to have it. And I don't remember seeing a combobox with multi selection on.

    I mean : I don't remember ever seeing a combobox with multi selection enabled, not in qt or any other widget library (in wx it is documented to be resticted to single selection https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.ComboBox.html ) – Demi-Lune Feb 09 '19 at 17:46
  • So you probably have to do with listbox, and add a handle or button to shrink its size to 1 line when you don't use it. Would that fit your needs? – Demi-Lune Feb 09 '19 at 17:47
  • I was able to implement multi selection check box with QComboBox, any idea on how to get checked items from the QComboBox? – user9529330 Feb 14 '19 at 20:49

No, you can't select multiple item from a QComboBox instance. It can be used to select only one item at once. If you want to have multiple selection in your widget have to use a QListView/Widget.
