Custom QWidgetListItem and casting

[mookie]

I have subclassed the QWidgetListItem and im trying to implement the ability of double clicking it and then populating the data into a dialog to give the user the ability to change the properties of the item.

my problem is that i dont know how to cast the item properly.

using qobject_cast doesnt seem to work properly.

one of my problems is admittedly that im still new to c++ coming from c# world.

so if i have

@
class CustomItem: public QListWidgetItem
{
}

but in my qlistwidget i have

void CustomListWidget::on_CustomListWidget_itemDoubleClicked(QListWidgetItem *item)
{

CustomItem* robot=qobject_cast<CustomItem*>(item);

    qDebug()<<"Show Item Dialog";

}
@

how can i cast it so i can pass it along?

Hi,

QListWidgetItem is not a QObject thus qobject_cast will fail. In this case, you can use a dynamic_cast.
