When a widget is added to a QToolBox, will the ownership of the widget be transfered to the QToolBox? Phrased differently: Will it become the new parent and destroy the widget when itself is destroyed)?

If you construct the widget using
new QWidget(pointer_to_toolbox);or something similar the toolbox will take ownership of the widget.The documentation of addItem() doesn’t say anything about ownership, so I would bet that the toolbox doesn’t take ownership of any widget passed to
addItem()
