<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QTabWidget class provides a stack of tabbed widgets.</p>
<p>A tab widget provides a tab bar (see <a href="qtabbar.html">QTabBar</a>) and a "page area" that is used to display pages related to each tab. By default, the tab bar is shown above the page area, but different configurations are available (see <a href="qtabwidget.html#TabPosition-enum">TabPosition</a>). Each tab is associated with a different widget (called a page). Only the current page is shown in the page area; all the other pages are hidden. The user can show a different page by clicking on its tab or by pressing its Alt+<i>letter</i> shortcut if it has one.</p>
<p>The normal way to use QTabWidget is to do the following:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li>Create a QTabWidget.</li>
<li>Create a <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> for each of the pages in the tab dialog, but do not specify parent widgets for them.</li>
<li>Insert child widgets into the page widget, using layouts to position them as normal.</li>
<li>Call <a href="qtabwidget.html#addTab">addTab</a>() or <a href="qtabwidget.html#insertTab">insertTab</a>() to put the page widgets into the tab widget, giving each tab a suitable label with an optional keyboard shortcut.</li>
</ol>
<p>The position of the tabs is defined by <a href="qtabwidget.html#tabPosition-prop">tabPosition</a>, their shape by <a href="qtabwidget.html#tabShape-prop">tabShape</a>.</p>
<p>The signal <a href="qtabwidget.html#currentChanged">currentChanged</a>() is emitted when the user selects a page.</p>
<p>The current page index is available as <a href="qtabwidget.html#currentIndex-prop">currentIndex</a>(), the current page widget with <a href="qtabwidget.html#currentWidget">currentWidget</a>(). You can retrieve a pointer to a page widget with a given index using <a href="qtabwidget.html#widget">widget</a>(), and can find the index position of a widget with <a href="qtabwidget.html#indexOf">indexOf</a>(). Use <a href="qtabwidget.html#setCurrentWidget">setCurrentWidget</a>() or <a href="qtabwidget.html#currentIndex-prop">setCurrentIndex</a>() to show a particular page.</p>
<p>You can change a tab's text and icon using <a href="qtabwidget.html#setTabText">setTabText</a>() or <a href="qtabwidget.html#setTabIcon">setTabIcon</a>(). A tab and its associated page can be removed with <a href="qtabwidget.html#removeTab">removeTab</a>().</p>
<p>Each tab is either enabled or disabled at any given time (see <a href="qtabwidget.html#setTabEnabled">setTabEnabled</a>()). If a tab is enabled, the tab text is drawn normally and the user can select that tab. If it is disabled, the tab is drawn in a different way and the user cannot select that tab. Note that even if a tab is disabled, the page can still be visible, for example if all of the tabs happen to be disabled.</p>
<p>Tab widgets can be a very good way to split up a complex dialog. An alternative is to use a <a href="qstackedwidget.html">QStackedWidget</a> for which you provide some means of navigating between pages, for example, a <a href="qtoolbar.html">QToolBar</a> or a <a href="qlistwidget.html">QListWidget</a>.</p>
<p>Most of the functionality in QTabWidget is provided by a <a href="qtabbar.html">QTabBar</a> (at the top, providing the tabs) and a <a href="qstackedwidget.html">QStackedWidget</a> (most of the area, organizing the individual pages).</p>
