accessing promoted widgets programmatically?

[mzimmers]

Working through another problem, I created a promoted widget in a dialog. I was expecting I could access this widget just like any other in my source code, but its name isn't recognized in the editor. Any idea what I did wrong?

And I try to access it like this:

Thanks...

Try to compile it. My guess this is a typical problem when you have just introduced in designer somthing. clang modeller requires some time respectively a compilation on my machine.

Correction/addition: possibly there seems to be something wrong with the promotion, just see the symbol left of ipSourceGroupBox.

Not sure what you mean by "the symbol left of ipSourceGroupBox."

isn‘t that just the symbol for a missing layout?

@mzimmers
that happens, compiling, hitting qmake, or at the very last a clean rebuild usually fixes that

just like @koahnig said.

that said, make sure your capitals were set correctly, during the promting process,
usually a source of error

I think my promotion was OK, it seems to be working now. Odd. Thanks for looking.

Not sure, but I had at first the same impression.
