[Maya-Python] 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()

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