access the widget dynamically

[mohanakrishnan]

hi
im displaying many buttons dynamically in the application based on the count from the
database.each button has name.when a query is processed a button name is received.
so i need to highlight the corresponding button in the front end application..
how to do ??either a cast from string to qpushbutton possible??
or finding the buttons in the front end with the given name??
can any one help??
thanks in advance!!!

there are several ways... but if i understood correctly.. on creation of buttons you can use a QHash

QHash<QString, QPushButton*> hash;
QString name = getNameFromSomeWhere();
QPushButton * btn = new QPushButton(name,this);
hash.insert(name,btn);

and so on

Or you can use QObject::findChild():

QPushButton *button = parentWidget->findChild<QPushButton *>("button1");

QPushButton *button = parentWidget->findChild<QPushButton *>("button1");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
