    Default creating objects in a for()

    Hi,

    I'm rather new to C++ and now I need a dynamic amount (int i) of buttons. I tried something (where I was sure that it wouldn't work, but just to tell you what I need) like this:
    Qt Code:
    1. int i; i=0;
    2. for(;i<9;i++){
    3. QLabel label(&fenster);
    4. label.setFrameStyle(QFrame::Panel | QFrame::Sunken);
    5. label.setText("first line\nsecond line");
    6. label.setAlignment(Qt::AlignTop | Qt::AlignLeft);
    7. label.setGeometry(10*i,80,120,50);
    8. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I know that normally it would be my job to learn C++ properly, but perhaps you could be so kind and correct the code given above.

    Thanks.

    Qt Code:
    1. for(int i=0;i<9;i++){
    2. QLabel *label = new QLabel(&fenster);
    3. label->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Panel | QFrame::Sunken);
    4. label->setText("first line\nsecond line");
    5. label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignTop | Qt::AlignLeft);
    6. label->setGeometry(10*i,80,120,50);
    7. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    This will more or less work, but two more potential errors are here:

    Qt Code:
    1. QLabel *label = new QLabel(&fenster);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    By that code I guess "fenster" is a stack allocated object which can go out of scope. It should be allocated on heap (just like I corrected the labels here)

    Qt Code:
    1. label->setGeometry(10*i,80,120,50);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Based on this I guess you are not using layouts, while you probably should.

    Which means that your code should eventualy look like this *and* compile flawlesly:
    Qt Code:
    1. QLabel *label = new QLabel(fenster);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
