    Question Do I need to destroy the widget of setItemWidget?

    Hi,

    I am adding widgets to the items of a QTreeWidget. The documentation of setItemWidget says:

    The tree takes ownership of the widget.

    Does this means that when the QTreeWidget gets destroyed it destroy the item widget?

    Thanks,
    Carlos.

    Yes, that's correct.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    Right. Whenever an object "takes ownership" of another object, it takes over responsibility for deleting the object when appropriate.
