How to check stateChanged in a dynamic checkbox list in PyQt4

Question

So I'm adding checkboxes from a list in PyQt4. But I can't figure a way to use stateChanged for each one of them in my Window class.

This is the function to add them from the list elements:

  def addCheckbox(self):
        colunas = Graphic(self.caminho).getColunas()
        for col in colunas:
            c = QtGui.QCheckBox(col, self, objectName=col)
            self.layout.addWidget(c)

I've tried to get their object names in a while True and use with:

self.name.stateChanged.connect(self.clickBox)

But that just freezes the code.

How do I do that?

Answer 1

You could try the following:

def clickBoxStateChanged(self, objectName):
    def stateChanged(state):
        print(objectName)
        print(state)
    return stateChanged

Then, in your loop:

  for col in colunas:
        c = QtGui.QCheckBox(col, self, objectName=col)
        c.stateChanged.connect(self.clickBoxStateChanged(col))
        self.layout.addWidget(c)
