QGridLayout: Getting the list of QWidget added

[ShaChris23]

Suppose I have something like:

QGridLayout layout;
layout.addWidget(new QWidget());
layout.addWidget(new QWidget());

QGridLayout layout;
layout.addWidget(new QWidget());
layout.addWidget(new QWidget());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

What is the method that I can use to get the list of the added QWidgets ?

Something like the imaginary "getAddedWidgets()" below:

QList<QWidget*> addedWidgets = layout.getAddedWidgets(); 
Q_ASSERT( addedWidgets.size() == 2 );

QList<QWidget*> addedWidgets = layout.getAddedWidgets(); 
Q_ASSERT( addedWidgets.size() == 2 );

The example code below shows how you could iterate over each item:

QGridLayout layout;
 
      // add 3 items to layout
      layout.addItem(new QSpacerItem(2,3), 0, 0, 1, 1);
      layout.addWidget(new QWidget);
      layout.addWidget(new QWidget);
 
      // sanity checks
      Q_ASSERT(layout.count() == 3);
      Q_ASSERT(layout.itemAt(0));
      Q_ASSERT(layout.itemAt(1));
      Q_ASSERT(layout.itemAt(2));
      Q_ASSERT(layout.itemAt(3) == NULL);
 
      // iterate over each, only looking for QWidgetItem
      for(int idx = 0; idx < layout.count(); idx++)
      {
        QLayoutItem * item = layout.itemAt(idx);
        if(dynamic_cast<QWidgetItem *>(item))       <-- Note! QWidgetItem, and not QWidget!
          item->widget()->hide();                   <-- widget() will cast you a QWidget!
      }

QGridLayout layout;
      
      // add 3 items to layout
      layout.addItem(new QSpacerItem(2,3), 0, 0, 1, 1);
      layout.addWidget(new QWidget);
      layout.addWidget(new QWidget);

      // sanity checks
      Q_ASSERT(layout.count() == 3);
      Q_ASSERT(layout.itemAt(0));
      Q_ASSERT(layout.itemAt(1));
      Q_ASSERT(layout.itemAt(2));
      Q_ASSERT(layout.itemAt(3) == NULL);
    
      // iterate over each, only looking for QWidgetItem
      for(int idx = 0; idx < layout.count(); idx++)
      {
        QLayoutItem * item = layout.itemAt(idx);
        if(dynamic_cast<QWidgetItem *>(item))       <-- Note! QWidgetItem, and not QWidget!
          item->widget()->hide();                   <-- widget() will cast you a QWidget!
      }

dynamic_cast should be avoided when dealing with QObjects.
Use qobject_cast instead.

why so? is dynamic_cast is slower than qobject_cast? I do have RTTI always in my compiler, so given that, can you plz elaborate?
