drawing a tab bar.</p>
<p>The QStyleOptionTab class is used for drawing several built-in
Qt widgets including <a href="qtabbar.html">QTabBar</a> and the
panel for <a href="qtabwidget.html">QTabWidget</a>. Note that to
describe the parameters necessary for drawing a frame in Qt 4.1 or
above, you must use the <a href="qstyleoptionframev2.html">QStyleOptionFrameV2</a> subclass.</p>
<p>An instance of the QStyleOptiontabV2 class has <a href="qstyleoption.html#type-varx">type</a> <a href="qstyleoption.html#OptionType-enum">SO_Tab</a> and <a href="qstyleoption.html#version-var">version</a> 1. The type is used
internally by <a href="qstyleoption.html">QStyleOption</a>, its
subclasses, and <a href="qstyleoption.html#qstyleoption_cast">qstyleoption_cast</a>() to
determine the type of style option. In general you do not need to
worry about this unless you want to create your own <a href="qstyleoption.html">QStyleOption</a> subclass and your own styles.
The version is used by <a href="qstyleoption.html">QStyleOption</a>
subclasses to implement extensions without breaking compatibility.
If you use <a href="qstyleoption.html#qstyleoption_cast">qstyleoption_cast</a>(), you
normally do not need to check it.</p>
<p>If you create your own <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a>
subclass, you should handle both QStyleOptionTab and <a href="qstyleoptiontabv2.html">QStyleOptionTabV2</a>.</p>
<p>For an example demonstrating how style options can be used, see
the <a href="widgets-styles.html">Styles</a> example.</p>
