Help with QList of Groupboxes and Checkboxes

[bwcal1999]

I am creating a form with over 100 groupboxes, and inside each of those groupboxes has 6 checkboxes. This is to control some hardware I built. This configuration is really the best option. I have created a QList of checkboxes for each groupbox. Now I would like to incorporate those 100 QLists in to another QList, presumable of groupboxes ie a 2d QList. I have done this and I check the size and it returns with the correct size. Now I am having trouble access each individual checkbox. Below is the code I am using.

//Groups all the checkboxes in to a QList.  Eventuall end up with 100 Qlists 
QList<QCheckBox *> allCheckBox1 = ui->groupBox_1->findChildren<QCheckBox *>();     
QList<QCheckBox *> allCheckBox2 = ui->groupBox_2->findChildren<QCheckBox *>();
.
..
...
//shortened for brevity
 
//This I believe is making a QList of all the above items. It returns the correct size when
//when I call  "qDebug()<<mybox.size();"
QList<QGroupBox *> mybox = ui->centralWidget->findChildren<QGroupBox *>();

Now my problem is accessing the individual checkboxes to see what state they are at, how do I do this?

I get as far as

 mybox.at(i)->

But don't know where to go after that.

Thank you for your time.

->findChildren<QGroupBox *>();

do the same with QCheckBox* on the groupbox?

If it worked I wouldn’t be writing this :)

Below acceses one group box. But how to I access a checkbox of that group box?
mybox.at(i)->

I tried mybox.at(i)[j].isChecked but this doesn’t work either.

Hi unless the groupbox has a layout assigned
I think checkboxes are just just members of mainwindow. (owned by)
Not inside QGroupBox. IF it has layout, you can ask Layout for them.

@mrjj

mybox.at(i)->findChildren<QCheckBox*>()

should do what you want, no?

Yes it should, even if in layout as far as i know.

Great thank you that worked!

mybox.at(0)->findChildren<QCheckBox*>().at(0)->isChecked()
