It depends how you defined them.
If you put the pointers in a vector for example - then sure!

Here are the problem because i defined them in the UI.

Then you can still create a vector list with pointers.

QVector myVector;
myVector.append(ui->combobox1);
myVector.append(ui->combobox2);
 
for (int i = 0; i < myVector.size(); ++i) {
    // Do something with myVector.at(i)
}

QVector myVector;
myVector.append(ui->combobox1);
myVector.append(ui->combobox2);

for (int i = 0; i < myVector.size(); ++i) {
    // Do something with myVector.at(i)
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Or if you want to run through all those items unconditionally:

foreach (QComboBox *box, findChildren<QComboBox *>()) {
    // do the fancy stuff
}

foreach (QComboBox *box, findChildren<QComboBox *>()) {
    // do the fancy stuff
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Note that QObject::findChlidren() might recurse into other child widgets to find children that match the type T & name.

A correction:
In my post above, it should be:

QVector<QComboBox*> myVector;

QVector<QComboBox*> myVector;
