Working with different buttons type

[n34rt]

template <typename Control>
void AddQLabel(QLabelStruct* qls, Control* control)
{ 
    QLabel* label = new QLabel(qls->text, control); // <-- this works
    //....
}



void AddQLabel(QLabelStruct* qls, QObject* control)
{
    QLabel* label = new QLabel(qls->text, control); // <-- fails because of control type
   //...
}



Main::Main(QWidget* parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
{
    ui.setupUi(this);

    QObject* btn = qobject_cast<QToolButton*>(ui.toolButton);
    AddQLabel(&qls, btn); // <-- fail cant use QOBject on new QLabel

    AddQLabel(&qls, ui.toolButton); // <-- works
}

Is it possible to write such a function that could work with button, toolbutton, checkbox, etc
without using a template?

Because widgets need a QWidget* as parent in their constructors.

Got it working using:

void AddQLabel(QLabelStruct* qls, QAbstractButton* control)
{
}

@n34rt said in Working with different buttons type:

void AddQLabel(QLabelStruct* qls, QObject* control)

use QWidget instead.
