How to determine type of widget in a qtable cell?

Question

I have created a QTable with lots of gui elements like comboBoxes and checkBoxes in various cells. I am able to access these elements by creating pointers to them. What I want to know is, is there any way to know what type of widget(comboBox or checkBox) a cell is having?

Answer 1

Check out the answers to this question. The accepted answer gets the class name (as a const char*) from the widget's meta-object like so:

widget->metaObject()->className();

There's another answer that suggests using C++'s type management, but that sounds a lot less wieldly (more unwieldy?).
