QObjectList(3qt)

💖 QObjectList — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to QObjectList(3qt) — yes it's a Qt manual page, yes it's from the 3qt section, and yes I'm gonna walk you through every single crumb of it. grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

QObjectList — it's literally a QPtrList of QObjects. that's the whole vibe. a list. of QObjects. iconic behavior honestly.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qobjectlist.h>

Inherits QPtrList<QObject>.

🎀 Public Members 🎀

QObjectList ()
QObjectList ( const QObjectList & list )
~QObjectList ()
QObjectList & operator= ( const QObjectList & list )

four little functions, all of them doing exactly what they look like they do. we love a low-effort legend 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. the QObjectList class is a QPtrList of QObjects. that's it, that's the class. no cap.

a QObjectList is a QPtrList<QObject>. you can walk through it using the inherited functions — things like getFirst(), next(), etc. — or you can use a QObjectListIterator iterator instead. two roads, both slay 🌈

want to see it in the wild? peep QObject::queryList() for an example of use. go look, it's cute.

See also: QObjectListIterator, QObject, Collection Classes, and Non-GUI Classes. the whole friend group 🫶

👑 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 👑

QObjectList::QObjectList ()

Constructs an empty QObject list. blank canvas. fresh start. main character energy ✨

---

QObjectList::QObjectList ( const QObjectList & list )

Constructs a copy of list.

each item in list gets appended to this list. and here's the thing — only the pointers are copied (shallow copy). so don't come for me later when you're like "why are they sharing" 😭 that's just how it is.

---

QObjectList::~QObjectList ()

Removes all the object pointers from the list and destroys the list.

all list iterators that access this list will be reset. every single one. gone. reset. it's giving cleanup era 🧹

See also: setAutoDelete().

---

QObjectList & QObjectList::operator= ( const QObjectList & list )

Assigns list to this list and returns a reference to this list.

this list gets cleared first, and then each item in list is appended to this list. again — only the pointers are copied (shallow copy) unless newItem() has been reimplemented(). read that twice bestie, it matters 📝
