QML ComboBox - displayed text left-alignment - qt

Question

In QML my ComboxBox has items with large words which cannot be fully displayed in the textfield.
When opening the drop-down the items are getting cut at the right end. For that I use elide: Text.ElideRight. This works fine.
But when I select an item and it is getting displayed on the ComboBox, the Text is "scrolled" to the right and I cannot see the beginning. But I have to see the beginning of the display-text and not the end.
I tried several things with my contentItem-delegate, but thats just for the Items in the DropDown-List and not for the ComboBox-own TextField when the Popup ist closed.
The selected Item has the cursor at the right and the text is scrolled to the right. I want it to be scrolled to the left and maybe cut it at the right end.

Answer 1

Maybe using the proper contentItem? This is working for me.
import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
Window {
visible: true
width: 300
height: 300
ComboBox {
width: 300
contentItem: Text {
text: parent.displayText
font.family: "Arial";
font.pixelSize: 39;
verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter;
horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignLeft;
elide: Text.ElideRight
}
model: ListModel {
id: model
ListElement { text: "This is an example 0123456789 0123456789" }
ListElement { text: "Another example with long text" }
ListElement { text: "Last example" }
}
}
}
