Preventing blue focus rectangle

[MrGarbage]

Hi,

I have a QTabWidget placed on a dialog with
several other controls. It has been requested
that the QTabWidget not show the blue focus rectangle
when it's border is clicked.

I have set the focus policy to setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus)
but that has no effect.

How can I accomplish this and why does the setFocusPolicy()
not accomplish this?

Many Thanks!

hi,
are you sure that rectangle comes from tabWidget? you can have focusPolicy set on one of "page" widgets. Is this rectangle inside of page? (i remember that in my app tabWidget showed focus on current tab's label not on whole tab widget)

You are correct. The focus rectangle was actually coming from a QScrollArea on the page.
