Qt Containers and Custom Superclass and Subclasses

[isaacEnrique]

Greetings.

Given a superclass 'BaseT' and its subclass 'ChildT', suppose you have a QList< ChildT* > and you want to convert it to a QList< Base* >.

Although I raised my question in a general way, my concern about this matter arises from a particular problem: I have a function that receives as parameter one QList< BaseT* > and I need to use this function with one QList< ChildT1* >, QList< ChildT2* > and QList< ChildT3* >... being ChildT1, ChildT2 ChildT3 three different BaseT subclasses.

What are my options to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help and/or suggestions.

Hi,

@
QList<ChildT1 *> childT1List;
QList<BaseT *> basetTlist = *reinterpret_cast< QList<BaseT *> *>(&childT1List);
