QTextEdit not deleted when implemented as list

[sujan.dasmahapatra]

Dear All
I have list of QTextEdit, I am creating the edit box and then trying to delete but its not deleting. Can u anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.

QList<QTextEdit *> list;
int w = 100;
int h= 25;
int incre=0;
for(i=0; i<2; i++)
{
    list.append(new QTextEdit(this));
    list.at(i)->setGeometry(0,0+incre,w,h);
   list.at(i)->show();  
   incre = incre+h+10;
}
 
int cnt = list.count();
for(int i=0; i<cnt; i++)
delete list.at(i);
list.clear();

QList<QTextEdit *> list;
int w = 100;
int h= 25;
int incre=0;
for(i=0; i<2; i++)
{
    list.append(new QTextEdit(this));
    list.at(i)->setGeometry(0,0+incre,w,h);
   list.at(i)->show();  
   incre = incre+h+10;
}

int cnt = list.count();
for(int i=0; i<cnt; i++)
delete list.at(i);
list.clear();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But even after deleting the edit boxes I can still see them, means they’re not being deleted. Whats wrong , any help would be appreciated.

Use takeAt() instead of at()

//int cnt = list.count();
//for(int i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
//	delete list.takeAt(i);
//list.clear();
 
while(list.count())
	delete list.takeAt(0);

//int cnt = list.count();
//for(int i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
//	delete list.takeAt(i);
//list.clear();

while(list.count())
	delete list.takeAt(0);

at() should be ok too. The problem is elsewhere. What is the value of cnt in line #13?

Agree, it is valid and working code (or it would be if int would be added before"i" in the first loop).

[Santosh Reddy]

using at() should also work

probably your delete is never being called, set a breakpoint and see it ever gets executed

From what I understand these are two separate pieces of code. It would be stupid to create something and delete it three lines later without using it. So there is a good chance the list goes out of scope (or is a member variable) and the OP creates a new one with the same name expecting it to have the same content. That's why I asked for the size of the list prior to deleting items from it.
