findObject equivalent

[SPlatten]

I'm using Qt 4.8, is there a call equivalent to findObject ?

@SPlatten its a template function!

You use it like this:

findChild<QPushButton *>("button1");

@SPlatten findChild has been in Qt since the very beginning

Yes, and there never has been any findObject()....

@J-Hilk , trying to use that with:

if ( parent ! =NULL ) {
    pOverallTab = qobject_cast<QWidget*>(parent->findChild("overall_tab"));
}

And getting compile errors:

error: no matching function for call to `QWidget::findChild(const char[12])'
