I have 7 QLineEdits in a QHBoxLayout. Each of these QLineEdits are activated for "User" input by the user pressing a "Function Key"/"PushButton".
Each one of the lineEdit are configuree the same
Qt Code: 
  1. boxLayout = new QVBoxLayout ( frameD );
  2. 			inputStripLayout = new QHBoxLayout ( );
  3. 			boxLayout->addLayout ( inputStripLayout );
  4.  
  5. 			lbCategory = new QLabel(" Category #");
  6. 				lbCategory->setFont ( fb );
  7. 				inputStripLayout->addWidget ( lbCategory );
  8.  
  9. 			leCNum = new QLineEdit();
  10. 				leCNum->setAlignment ( Qt::AlignCenter );
  11. 				leCNum->setPalette ( palE );
  12. 				leCNum->setFont ( fb );
  13. 				leCNum->setMaximumWidth(30);
  14. 				leCNum->setEnabled(false);
  15. 			inputStripLayout->addWidget ( leCNum);
  16.  
  17. 				leCName = new QLineEdit();
  18. 				leCName->setAlignment ( Qt::AlignCenter );
  19. 				leCName->setPalette ( palB );
  20. 				leCName->setFont ( fb );
  21. 				leCName->setText ( "Category" );
  22. 			inputStripLayout->addWidget ( leCName );
  23.  
  24. 			lbGroup = new QLabel(" Group #");
  25. 				lbGroup->setFont ( fb );
  26. 				inputStripLayout->addWidget ( lbGroup );
  27.  
  28. 			leGNum = new QLineEdit();
  29. 				leGNum->setAlignment ( Qt::AlignCenter );
  30. 				leGNum->setPalette ( palE );
  31. 				leGNum->setFont ( fb );
  32. 				leGNum->setMaximumWidth(30);
  33. 				leGNum->setEnabled(false);
  34. 			inputStripLayout->addWidget ( leGNum);
  35.  
  36. 			leGName = new QLineEdit();
  37. 				leGName->setAlignment ( Qt::AlignCenter );
  38. 				leGName->setPalette ( palB );
  39. 				leGName->setFont ( fb );
  40. 				leGName->setText ( "Group" );	
  41. 			inputStripLayout->addWidget ( leGName );
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
etc.
All seven activate the following when the "enter/return" key is pressed
Qt Code: 
  1. /// slotGetUserInput
  2. void BaseForm::slotGetUserInput ( QString caller )
  3. {
  4. 	index = caller;
  5. 	emit setMessageBox("base  724 index = " + index);
  6. 	if(index == "CNum")	
  7. 		textItem = leCNum->text();	
  8. 	else if(index == "CName")
  9. 	textItem = leCName->text();
  10. 	else if(index == "GNum")	
  11. 		textItem = leGNum->text();
  12. 	else if(index == "GName")
  13. 		textItem = leGName->text();
  14. 	else if(index == "DNum")
  15. 		textItem = leDNum->text();
  16. 	else if(index == "DName")
  17. 		textItem = leDName->text();
  18. 	else if(index == "SNum")
  19. 		textItem = leSNum->text();
  20.  
  21. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
but only the first two activate
Qt Code: 
  1. /// slotFromKeyboard-
  2. void BaseForm::slotFromKeyboard()
  3. {
  4. 	QStringList tempList;
  6.  
  7. 	inputText = textItem;
  8.  
  9. 	emit setMessageBox("base  749 inputTtxt:\n" + textItem);
  10. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
The "pushbutton is similar for all lineEdits[I know I am missing somthing but haven't been able to find it. Please Help
