QStackedWidget and QTabWidget Structure Advice

[marcvanriet]

Hi,

For each QStackedWidget page you need, create a dialog instead that contains the tabwidget with approximately 5 tabs.
Create your main dialog or mainwindow, and put a QStackedWidget on it.
Instantiate each of you dialogs, and add them to the QStackedWidget.

This way you can easily create your different screens visually in Designer without creating a class with a giant number of widgets in it.

Code snippets from a project of mine :

frmRealParts = new CRealPartsForm(this);                             // add form with Real parts
ui->twComponents->addTab( frmRealParts, "Realparts" );
frmDistParts = new CDistPartsForm(this);                             // add form with Distributer parts
ui->twComponents->addTab( frmDistParts, "Distributer" );

frmRealParts = new CRealPartsForm(this);                             // add form with Real parts
ui->twComponents->addTab( frmRealParts, "Realparts" );
frmDistParts = new CDistPartsForm(this);                             // add form with Distributer parts
ui->twComponents->addTab( frmDistParts, "Distributer" );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I use a tabwidget (ui->twComponents) to put other dialogs in (CRealPartsForm and CDistPartsForm, which are just dialogs). QStackedWidget has a similar method addWidget() afaik. This code is put in the constructor of my main form, after the ui->setupUI(this);

Best regards,
Marc
