Removing same type of Widgets from QWorkspace

[zarkzervo]

I have a QWorkspace.

I can generate large amounts of the same type of widget: "DetailSummaryWdg" and add them to the workspace. I want to provide an action to this widget to close all widgets of the same type, i.e., the user wants to close all the detailsummaries with the click of a button.

I have tried traversing the children() of the QWorkspace and compare both objectName and metaObject()->className(), but when the objectName() of the object is "DetailSummaryWdg", the className from the same widget in the workspace is QWorkspaceChild and its objectName is qt_workspacechild.

Any suggestions on how I can remove all widgets of the same type/class?

Maybe it's an idea to subclass the class from which DetailSummaryWdg is created..

Then adding a Type variable to that class (int or something)

#define TYPE_DETAIL_SUMMARY 1010 // or something else you like
 
class DetailSummaryWidget : public BaseClass
{
public:
   DetailSummaryWidget(...);
   ~DetailSummaryWidget();
   ...
   int Type;
   ...
};
 
DetailSummaryWidget::DetailSummaryWidget(...)
:BaseClass(...)
{
   Type = TYPE_DETAIL_SUMMARY;
}

#define TYPE_DETAIL_SUMMARY 1010 // or something else you like

class DetailSummaryWidget : public BaseClass
{
public:
   DetailSummaryWidget(...);
   ~DetailSummaryWidget();
   ...
   int Type;
   ...
};

DetailSummaryWidget::DetailSummaryWidget(...)
:BaseClass(...)
{
   Type = TYPE_DETAIL_SUMMARY;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When traversing the windows in the workspace, you can check on that particular Type variable if the window needs to be closed.

Just an idea Maybe there are more ways....
