[SOLVED]Adding dynamically created widgets to layout error

[bnosam]

I'm creating an array of widgets and I'm trying to add them to the main layout but I get an error.

QLabel *colorBoxes = new QLabel[numLights];
            for(int i = 0; i < numLights; i++)
            {
                colorBoxes[i].setText(description[i]);
                ui->mainLayout->addWidget(colorBoxes[i]);
            }

QLabel *colorBoxes = new QLabel[numLights];
            for(int i = 0; i < numLights; i++)
            {
                colorBoxes[i].setText(description[i]);
                ui->mainLayout->addWidget(colorBoxes[i]);
            }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It says it can't convert QLabel to QWidget*. It worked before in another project, I have no idea why this is doing it now?


apparently to make it work, I needed to add it as

ui->mainLayout->addWidget(colorBoxes[i].window());

ui->mainLayout->addWidget(colorBoxes[i].window());
