Dynamically add checkBoxes in PySide while being able to refer to them later

[Jakob Kousholt]

Hi,

I am trying to add a bunch of buttons and UI elements based of a python list. My issue is that I would need to refer to them later to see if they are checked or unchecked. Usually I would assign the button to a variable and check that specific variable for the state of the checkbox like:

potatoCheckBox = QtWidgets.QCheckBox()

potatoCheckBox.checkState() 

But I am not sure how to get about it over a list. of course the code is not making any sense as you can't add two strings like that together to assign a variable - big mess, However I think it kinda shows how I would like to go about it. Using my list as a prefix for a lot of new attributes on my UI class.  

list = ['potato', 'tomato', 'poop']

for obj in list:

    obj + CheckBox = QtWidgets.QCheckBox()

potatoCheckBox.checkState()

tomatoCheckBox.checkState()  

poopCheckBox.checkState()  

Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thank you.

How about something like this?

list = ['potato', 'tomato', 'poop'

]
boxes = {}

for obj in list:
    boxes[obj] = QtWidgets.QCheckBox()

boxes["potato"].checkState()
boxes["tomato"].checkState()  
boxes["poop"].checkState()

From what part of the world does this cuisine originate?

I think it's referred to as a "Wellington Stew"
