Question

I have a gui form, where multiple text boxes are present. I want to put their values inside an array. One way of doing it is by writing something like this

{array element } = ui->text_1->text();

and repeat it for text_2,text_3 upto n.

What I want is to run a loop and replace number portion of text box name in each cycle.

something like this {array element } = ui->text_{This number getting changed }->text();

How can it be done in qt?

Answer 1

Another option to those listed would be to create an array using an initializer list. Depending on how big the array is (and how often it changes), this might be workable.

QLineEdit* entries[] = { ui->text_0, ui->text_1, ui=>text_2 };
QStringList answers;
for ( int i = 0; i < 3; ++i )
{
    answers += entries[i]->text();
}
