I have a QTableWidget shown below. I have added Auto completer using item delegates for particular column ‘Name’ which does work well.
Given list to autocompleter : ['Mark','Riya','Andrew','Thomas','Kevin','Leena','Julie','Peter','Rob','lily','Rambo']
I want to make this more dynamic. i.e if I type ‘R’. it is giving me values which starts from ‘R’ as shown in snapshot. BUT I also want to get the values which has ‘R/r’ at any position like ‘Andrew’, ‘Peter’.
Or the other scenario would be, If I type ‘B’ , I should get ‘Rob’, ‘Rambo’ instead of no suggestions currently.
How can I make this work?
