How to loop through all QLineEdit widgets on a form - JayCee - Apr-02-2020
Hello everyone,
Greetings from Brazil! Does anybody know a quick and easy way to loop through all QLineEdit widgets on a form and clear them? Thanks for your time and help. I really appreciate it.
This is how I am currently doing it:
myform = {ui.lineEdit_name, ui.lineEdit_email, ui.lineEdit_pwd, ui.lineEdit_mktg, ... etc.}
for fields in myform:
fields.clear()Best regards.

Are you looking for something to build the "my_form" part of your example? How about using the focus chain?
my_form = []
w = some_widget
while not w in my_form:
if isinstance(w, QLineEdit):
my_form.append(w)
w = w.nextInFocusChain()I have not tried this code.For form entry/editing usually the program has a way to load the form fields and clearing the form is done by loading an empty data.

Hi Dean,
Nope. The form itself is already built. Please refer to the full code below. Thanks for your feedback! :)

Then I don't understand your question. Are you wondering if there is some Qt command that clears all widgets in a window? What part of your solution don't you like?
RE: How to loop through all QLineEdit widgets on a form - JayCee - Apr-02-2020
What I don't like about my solution is having to list every single QLineEdit box on my forms in order to clear them. This particular form is ok, because it has just a few QLineEdit boxes on it, but some forms will have too many for me to clear one by one. There has got to be (hopefully) a smarter, more efficient way to accomplish this than the way I did it.
RE: How to loop through all QLineEdit widgets on a form - deanhystad - Apr-02-2020
The code I provided earlier generates a list of the QLineEdit objects for you. You don't have to type them in manually.
But I found a better way
for w in form.findChildren(QLineEdit):
w.clear()

Dean, you are a genious! It worked perfectly. Thank you very much for your time and help.
