combobox->itemData(combobox->currentIndex())

using QXmlStreamWriter class.

#include <QXmlStreamWriter>

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_OK_clicked()
{
    QFile file("C:\\Users\\Name\\Desktop\\test2.xml");
    if (!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text))
        return;

    QXmlStreamWriter stream(&file);
    stream.setAutoFormatting(true);
    stream.writeStartDocument();
    stream.writeStartElement("country");
    stream.writeAttribute("",ui->comboBox_COUNTRY->currentText());
    stream.writeEndElement();

    stream.writeStartElement("language");
    stream.writeAttribute("",ui->comboBox_LANGUAGE->currentText());
    stream.writeEndElement(); 

    file.close();
}

What is the parent widget on which u have all label and combobox?

sankarapandiyan

@Ratzz
Labels and combo boxes are all in tab widget
this is my code,

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
{
QFile file("/home/newuser/Desktop/testt.xml");
if (!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text))
return;

    QXmlStreamWriter stream(&file);
    stream.setAutoFormatting(true);
    stream.writeStartDocument();
    stream.writeStartElement("country");
    stream.writeAttribute("",ui->comboBox_COUNTRY->currentText());
    stream.writeEndElement();

    stream.writeStartElement("language");
    stream.writeAttribute("",ui->comboBox_LANGUAGE->currentText());
    stream.writeEndElement();

    file.close();
}

}

There are other label and comboboxes apart from the one you want to be write on that tabwidget?

Can you show your tab widget?

sankarapandiyan

yes all are in the tab widget @Ratzz

I have tested for 2 combination of label and combobox.

    QXmlStreamWriter stream(&file);
    stream.setAutoFormatting(true);
    stream.writeStartDocument();

    QWidget* pWidget=  ui->mwtabwidget->widget(yourTabIndex);
    QList<QLabel *> labelList = pWidget->findChildren<QLabel *>();
    QStringList comboList ={ ui->comboBox_COUNTRY->currentText(), 
                             ui->comboBox_LANGUAGE->currentText()} ;

    for (int cc = 0; cc < labelList.count(); ++cc)
    {
        stream.writeStartElement(labelList.at(cc)->text());
        stream.writeAttribute("",comboList.at(cc));
        stream.writeEndElement();
    }
    file.close();

Your combox index should be in same order of label. Someone else may have better solution.
