[SOLVED] UI items

Anonymous

Hey, I have a lot of buttons in my application, so I am wondering if it is possible to execute functions with "for", rather than write code for each button...

For example:
@int number = 0;
QString string = "Name" + QString::number(number); // Easy to change string@

Can I also do that with ui items?
For example:
@ui->button5->text(); //I want to achieve this

int index = 0;
ui->button + index->text()@

Since I have alot of buttons I could execute functions with for...

@
// Lets assume I have these buttons...
// ui->button1
// ui->button2
// ui->button3

for(int i = 0; i < number of buttons, i++)
{
ui->button + i->setText("abc");
}@

Hi,

You can use findChildren and a foreach loop

Hope it helps

Hey, thats the result...

@QList<QPushButton *> allPButtons = this->findChildren<QPushButton *>();@

bq. (QPushButton(0xcd6a00, name = "pushButton") , QPushButton(0xcd64a8, name = "pushButton_2")

After I get children, can I use just some of them?

for example with if statement? If (allPButtons.name == "pushButton_2") { ... }
