dynamic Handling of Hundreds of UI elements

[mrsurge]

Ok so here is what I've got... doubleSpinBox to doubleSpinBox_312. I made them all read only, I only want them the to be edited from within 1 dialog. Ive made one of them clickable through an eventFilter:

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    ui->doubleSpinBox->installEventFilter(this);
    QObjectList o_list = ui->doubleSpinBox->children();
    for(int i = 0; i < o_list.length(); i++)
    {
        QLineEdit *cast = qobject_cast<QLineEdit*>(o_list[i]);
        if(cast)
            cast->installEventFilter(this);
    }
 
}

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    ui->doubleSpinBox->installEventFilter(this);
    QObjectList o_list = ui->doubleSpinBox->children();
    for(int i = 0; i < o_list.length(); i++)
    {
        QLineEdit *cast = qobject_cast<QLineEdit*>(o_list[i]);
        if(cast)
            cast->installEventFilter(this);
    }

}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and

bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if(event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress)
    {
        Dialog mdialog;
        mdialog.setModal(true);
        mdialog.exec();
    }
    return false;
}

bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if(event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress)
    {
        Dialog mdialog;
        mdialog.setModal(true);
        mdialog.exec();
    }
    return false;
}

I am wondering if its possible to automate this part

ui->doubleSpinBox->installEventFilter(this);
       //~~~~~~~~^
QObjectList o_list = ui->doubleSpinBox->children();
                          // ~~~~~~~~^

ui->doubleSpinBox->installEventFilter(this);
       //~~~~~~~~^
QObjectList o_list = ui->doubleSpinBox->children();
                          // ~~~~~~~~^

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and to make sure I can return a value to a function that corresponds to what spinbox has been selected so that the dialog can return the new value to the appropriate field.

I really like the parameters and the look that the spinbox with no arrows gives so that's how I arrived at this juncture. Perhaps this more a C++ question than a Qt question, in any event IDK cause I'm a n00b.

Qt 5

preemptive thank you
