how to access LINE EDIT'S value

[BalaQT]

im using the following steps to create LINE EDITS

void DynamicControls::createLineEdit(QString Wstr,QString WTip,int x,int y)
{
    lineEdit=new QLineEdit(Wstr);
    lineEdit->setToolTip(WTip);
    layout->addWidget(lineEdit,x,y);
}

void DynamicControls::createLineEdit(QString Wstr,QString WTip,int x,int y)
{
    lineEdit=new QLineEdit(Wstr);
    lineEdit->setToolTip(WTip);
    layout->addWidget(lineEdit,x,y);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

from main im creating LINEEDITS BY FOLLOWING CODE

main()
{
w.createLineEdit("id","id",1,1);
w.createLineEdit("name","name",2,2);
//here i want to access id.text, name.text
}

main()
{
w.createLineEdit("id","id",1,1);
w.createLineEdit("name","name",2,2);
//here i want to access id.text, name.text
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

how can i access in main?
id's value and name value?

put you lineedits in a QMap or QHash.

...
QMap<QString, QLineEdit *> lineEdits;
lineEdits.insert("id", new QLineEdit(this));
...
QLineEdit *le = lineEdits.value("id");
if (!le)
   return;
le->setText("text");
...

...
QMap<QString, QLineEdit *> lineEdits;
lineEdits.insert("id", new QLineEdit(this));
...
QLineEdit *le = lineEdits.value("id");
if (!le)
   return;
le->setText("text");
...

in your DynamicControls class make function that will return the linedit pointer... then you can use w.getlinedit1->text()

EDIT: i m late

Set this property @ the time of creating line edits.

yourLineEdit->setAccessibleName("anyNameWithID");

yourLineEdit->setAccessibleName("anyNameWithID");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And find these line edits like this:

QLineEdit *le = parentWidget->findChild<QLineEdit *>("LineEdit1");

QLineEdit *le = parentWidget->findChild<QLineEdit *>("LineEdit1");

how to return a pointer?

existing coding:

void DynamicControls::createLineEdit(QString Wstr,QString WTip,int x,int y)
{
    lineEdit=new QLineEdit(Wstr);
    lineEdit->setToolTip(WTip);
    layout->addWidget(lineEdit,x,y);
}

void DynamicControls::createLineEdit(QString Wstr,QString WTip,int x,int y)
{
    lineEdit=new QLineEdit(Wstr);
    lineEdit->setToolTip(WTip);
    layout->addWidget(lineEdit,x,y);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and what will be the function call frm main?
exist code

w.createLineEdit(str,str,1,1);

w.createLineEdit(str,str,1,1);
