Promoting inside code.

[bareil76]

Hi All,

I have a lot of QLineEdit which I need to promote to a subclass of QLineEdit that I wrote myself.

How can I promote without using the user interface of QtCreator? I want to do it in the code.

Thanks

If you want to write code, how about using your sub-class which is inherited from QLineEdit. This is lot better.

Yes... I want to use my sub-class.... but how to do it?

I do not want to go and promote each single QLineEdit manually.

You write an new class and inherit from QLineEdit. You add the new functionality to new class or modify the existing functionality.

@class mylineedit : public QLineEdit {

}@

I'm confident you are aware of this.

What "promote" feature actually does is replacing the name of the original class with the promoted one, so if you want it in code the equivalent is find/replace. There's really not much more to it.

Yes I was aware of that.

On the other end.. I used qt creator to put the QlineEdit.. so I cannot edit the text. I clicked each one and promoted them .. it did not took that long.

Thanks for your help.
