I'm not sure I fully understand the question.

Here is a visual list in developer terms

QListView / QListWidget

This can be single selection or multiple item selection

This can be checkable or based on selected items.

This can also be in a tree with a QTreeView

These can be more fancy (i.e Dolphin)

QComboBox

KComboBox is exactly the same but with optional auto-completion

KEditListWidget
