Description

In Python console, type(item) will only return <class 'qgis.core.QgsComposerItem'>

From IRC:

[09:49] <anita1> how can i get all QgsComposerLabels from a composer? currently, i can just access all QgsComposerItems but don't know how to filter only labels from them

[10:50] <marco> hi anita1

[10:50] <marco> dynamic cast in (C++) or query the class type (in python)

[10:51] <anita1> marco: hi. but that returns only QgsComposerItem, not label

[10:51] <anita1> type(itemsr0) <class 'qgis.core.QgsComposerItem'>

[10:52] <marco> in python? Then there is probably missing a 'convertToSubclass' somewhere in the python bindings...

History

#1 Updated by Nathan Woodrow almost 14 years ago

I have added what is my attempt at fixing the bug, I gave it a run this morning and the types are returned correctly in Python however if you try and call any of the methods on the returned types you get a segfault. Eg calling .displayText() on a QgsComposerLabel causes a segmentation fault. C and C++ aren't my normal programming languages, so I may have done something wrong or missed something.

Thanks, NathanW!
The patch is applied in .
I noticed those crashes too. The strange thing is it does not happen for items added via the python bindings, only for the already existing ones.

#3 Updated by Nathan Woodrow almost 14 years ago

Thanks. I'm doing some testing now, not sure how much help it will be but if you cast in python using something like:

label = selectedComposerItems()r0 /* The first label on the composer */
label.+class+ = qgis.core.qgscomposerlabel

You can call label.displayText() fine. The above will still crash sometimes even with the code I added to the SIP.
