I have a widget inside a QListWidgetItem in which I have 5 elements:

• QLabel
• SpacerItem
• QWidget (containing QLabel and QLineEdit)
• SpacerItem
• QWidget (containing QLabel and QLineEdit)

I want to access the outter widget, in order to do that I used QWidget* selectedWidget = dynamic_cast<QWidget*>(ui->listWidget->itemWidget(ui->listWidget->item(1))); then QWidget* SelectedEdit = selectedWidget->layout()->takeAt(2)->widget(); to access the inner widget(containing the QLineEdit) and then finally to access the lineEdit i'm using QLineEdit* ThisEdit = dynamic_cast<QLineEdit*>(SelectedEdit->layout()->takeAt(1)->widget());. after each selection I'm reading the number of element inside the main widget and after executing SelectedEdit the number is turnig to 4

final state:

as you see max and min labels are on top of each other

CodePudding user response：

You are using QLayout::takeAt, which removes the widget from the layout. I don't think you mean to do that...

Use QLayout::itemAt instead.
