        # It will then also update our combo box to reflect the same update
        self.btn_remove_selected = QPushButton("Remove selected item")

        # then get the remaining items as a list
        listwidget_items = ez_qt.list_widget.get_all_items(self.lw_items)

        # and update the combobox
