reimplement tabBar() from QTabWidget in order to customize each tabs

[dotjan]

Hi all,

as per subject I am trying to customize my tabBar to have different buttons in each tab. Basically I would need to have closableTabs for all tabs but one. Looking for it in the web I would have found an easy way which consists in enable closebleTabs and then hide the button for a specific one:

tabWidget->tabBar()->tabButton(0, QTabBar::RightSide)->hide();

Sorry I posted the wrong code.

Ok while writing I found the solution. Basically I create a derived class from QTabWidget

#ifndef MYTABWIDGET_H
#define MYTABWIDGET_H
 
#include <QTabWidget>
 
class MyTabWidget : public QTabWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit MyTabWidget(QWidget *parent = 0);
 
    void hideButton(const int index); // this is a wrapper used to hide the button from tab at index
 
signals:
 
public slots:
 
};
 
#endif // MYTABWIDGET_H

#ifndef MYTABWIDGET_H
#define MYTABWIDGET_H

#include <QTabWidget>

class MyTabWidget : public QTabWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit MyTabWidget(QWidget *parent = 0);

    void hideButton(const int index); // this is a wrapper used to hide the button from tab at index

signals:

public slots:

};

#endif // MYTABWIDGET_H

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

#include "mytabwidget.h"
 
#include <QtGui>
MyTabWidget::MyTabWidget(QWidget *parent) :
    QTabWidget(parent)
{
 
    setTabsClosable(true);
}
 
void MyTabWidget::hideButton(const int index)
{
 
    tabBar()->tabButton(index, QTabBar::RightSide)->hide();
 
}

#include "mytabwidget.h"

#include <QtGui>
MyTabWidget::MyTabWidget(QWidget *parent) :
    QTabWidget(parent)
{

    setTabsClosable(true);
}

void MyTabWidget::hideButton(const int index)
{

    tabBar()->tabButton(index, QTabBar::RightSide)->hide();

}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And then use the method to hide the button..

ui->tabWidget->hideButton(1);

ui->tabWidget->hideButton(1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks anyway, sometimes just writing your idea is helping :-)
