/**
 * @short A combo box with completion support.
 *
 * This widget inherits from QComboBox and implements the following
 * additional features:
 *   @li a completion object that provides both automatic
 * and manual text completion as well as text rotation
 *   @li configurable key bindings to activate these features
 *   @li a popup menu item that can be used to allow the user to change
 * the text completion mode on the fly.
 *
 * To support these new features, KComboBox emits a few additional signals
 * such as completion(const QString&) and textRotation(KeyBindingType).
 * The completion signal can be connected to a slot that will assist the user in
 * filling out the remaining text while the rotation signal can be used to traverse
 * through all possible matches whenever text completion results in multiple matches.
 * Additionally, the returnPressed() and returnPressed(const QString&)
 * signals are emitted when the user presses the Enter/Return key.
 *
 * KCombobox by default creates a completion object when you invoke the
 * completionObject(bool) member function for the first time or
 * explicitly use setCompletionObject(KCompletion*, bool) to assign your
 * own completion object. Additionally, to make this widget more functional,
 * KComboBox will by default handle text rotation and completion events
 * internally whenever a completion object is created through either one of the
 * methods mentioned above. If you do not need this functionality, simply use
 * KCompletionBase::setHandleSignals(bool) or alternatively set the boolean
 * parameter in the @p setCompletionObject call to false.
 *
 * Beware: The completion object can be deleted on you, especially if a call
 * such as setEditable(false) is made. Store the pointer at your own risk,
 * and consider using QPointer<KCompletion>.
 *
 * The default key bindings for completion and rotation are determined from the
 * global settings in KStandardShortcut. These values, however, can be overridden
 * locally by invoking KCompletionBase::setKeyBinding(). The values can
 * easily be reverted back to the default settings by calling
 * useGlobalSettings(). An alternate method would be to default individual
 * key bindings by using setKeyBinding() with the default second argument.
 *
 * A non-editable combo box only has one completion mode, @p CompletionAuto.
 * Unlike an editable combo box, the CompletionAuto mode works by matching
 * any typed key with the first letter of entries in the combo box. Please note
 * that if you call setEditable(false) to change an editable combo box to a
 * non-editable one, the text completion object associated with the combo box will
 * no longer exist unless you created the completion object yourself and assigned
 * it to this widget or you called setAutoDeleteCompletionObject(false). In other
 * words do not do the following:
 *
 * \code
 * KComboBox* combo = new KComboBox(true, this);
 * KCompletion* comp = combo->completionObject();
 * combo->setEditable(false);
 * comp->clear(); // CRASH: completion object does not exist anymore.
 * \endcode
 *
 *
 * A read-only KComboBox will have the same background color as a
 * disabled KComboBox, but its foreground color will be the one used for
 * the editable mode. This differs from QComboBox's implementation
 * and is done to give visual distinction between the three different modes:
 * disabled, read-only, and editable.
 *
 * \b Usage \n
 *
 * To enable the basic completion feature:
 *
 * \code
 * KComboBox *combo = new KComboBox(true, this);
 * KCompletion *comp = combo->completionObject();
 * // Connect to the return pressed signal - optional
 * connect(combo,SIGNAL(returnPressed(const QString&)),comp,SLOT(addItem(const QString&)));
 *
 * // Provide the to be completed strings. Note that those are separate from the combo's
 * // contents.
 * comp->insertItems(someQStringList);
 * \endcode
 *
 * To use your own completion object:
 *
 * \code
 * KComboBox *combo = new KComboBox(this);
 * KUrlCompletion *comp = new KUrlCompletion();
 * combo->setCompletionObject(comp);
 * // Connect to the return pressed signal - optional
 * connect(combo,SIGNAL(returnPressed(const QString&)),comp,SLOT(addItem(const QString&)));
 * \endcode
 *
 * Note that you have to either delete the allocated completion object
 * when you don't need it anymore, or call
 * setAutoDeleteCompletionObject(true);
 *
 * Miscellaneous function calls:
 *
 * \code
 * // Tell the widget not to handle completion and rotation
 * combo->setHandleSignals(false);
 * // Set your own completion key for manual completions.
 * combo->setKeyBinding(KCompletionBase::TextCompletion, Qt::End);
 * \endcode
