How to forcibly update child widgets in parent?

[fifth]

Looks like QWidget::update() doesn't update child widgets, if I have to manually update children, how to get that?
Thanks.

Why you think it doesn't update child widgets?

I got a container widget which included several child widgets,

Calling MyContainerWidget::update() didn't update those children in my case.

That's right. But why do you want a parent update their children? Aren't they supposed to know that they need a repaint?

(In any case, you can just get the list of children widgets and call update manually).

That's exactly what I do not want to do, not smart anyway :(

In GUI view, yes, I should not bother to manually update children.
In my case, I have another internal logic to update view. When and how to paint view is not fully determined by those paint events.
