Many checkboxes and one slot

[mirelon]

hi,
i have many checkboxes on a dialog (checkBox1, checkBox2, checkBox3...)
I also store pointers to them in a qlist:


QList<QCheckBox* > checkBoxes;

When i change state of one of them, I want to call a function checking().
I do it this way:


for(int i=0;i<checkBoxes.size();i++)
connect(checkBoxes[i],SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(checking()));

It is ok, but what should I do to know which checkBox was clicked inside checking() slot?
I really don't want to have a slot for each checkBox...

You can use QObject::sender() or better use QSignalMapper.

For check boxes I'd suggest to use the signal toggled() instead of clicked(), it gives you some more information.

Maybe this could some help for you,

If only one box can be checked at the same time then place all of them into a QButtonGroup and use API of the latter to learn which of the buttons is checked. And optionally use QRadioButton instances instead of QCheckBox.
