Detailed Description

The CategorySelect widget allows users to select Categories with a combobox interface.

CategorySelect is useful to provide a QComboBox of Categories for filtering (such as in the Contacts table view) or to allow the user to select multiple Categories. The allCategories variable sets whether the CategorySelect is in filtering or selecting mode.

In filtering mode, the All and Unfiled categories are added. The

In selecting mode, the CategorySelect may either be a QComboBox and a QToolButton or a QListView with checkable items depending on the screen size.

CategorySelect automatically updates itself if Categories has been changed elsewhere in the environment.

Signals and slots are provided to notify the application of the users selections. A QToolButton is also provided so that users can edit the Categories manually.
