Problem with customized QTabWidget

[anda_skoa]

But the problem I’m having is that the right-click on the ‘+’ tab emits currentChanged(int) BEFORE mousePressEvent() is called, causing creation of a new tab in slotTabBarClicked().

The cause this is most likely that the tab widget is not the actual receiver of the mouse event, its QTabBar child is. So th tab bar reacts to the event first and you see it when it propagates upwards.

My suggestion would be to access the tab bar and its tab buttons.
For all tab buttons that you want a context menu, set the same context actions using addAction() and set the button's contextMenuPolicy to ActionsContextMenu.

You should then only have to react to the actions' triggered() signals.

Another option you could investigate is to use QTabBar's corner widgets.

Cheers,

Ok, I hadn't dug down into the QTabBar class, I'm not sure why I didn't think to do that. I'll poke around in it and see what works best.
