<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>

<hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="QTabWidget" />QTabWidget.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> <i>parent</i> = None)</h3><p>The <i>parent</i> argument, if not None, causes <i>self</i> to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.</p><p>Constructs a tabbed widget with parent <i>parent</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="addTab" />int QTabWidget.addTab (<i>self</i>, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> <i>widget</i>, QString)</h3><p>The <i>widget</i> argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.</p><p>Adds a tab with the given <i>page</i> and <i>label</i> to the
tab widget, and returns the index of the tab in the tab bar.</p>
<p>If the tab's <i>label</i> contains an ampersand, the letter
following the ampersand is used as a shortcut for the tab, e.g. if
the label is "Bro&wse" then Alt+W becomes a shortcut which will
move the focus to this tab.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> If you call addTab() after <a href="qwidget.html#show">show</a>(), the layout system will try to
adjust to the changes in its widgets hierarchy and may cause
flicker. To prevent this, you can set the <a href="qwidget.html#updatesEnabled-prop">QWidget.updatesEnabled</a>
property to false prior to changes; remember to set the property to
true when the changes are done, making the widget receive paint
events again.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qtabwidget.html#insertTab">insertTab</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="addTab-2" />int QTabWidget.addTab (<i>self</i>, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> <i>widget</i>, <a href="qicon.html">QIcon</a> <i>icon</i>, QString <i>label</i>)</h3><p>The <i>widget</i> argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.</p><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Adds a tab with the given <i>page</i>, <i>icon</i>, and
<i>label</i> to the tab widget, and returns the index of the tab in
the tab bar.</p>
<p>This function is the same as <a href="qtabwidget.html#addTab">addTab</a>(), but with an additional
<i>icon</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="changeEvent" />QTabWidget.changeEvent (<i>self</i>, <a href="qevent.html">QEvent</a>)</h3><p>Reimplemented from <a href="qwidget.html#changeEvent">QWidget.changeEvent</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="clear" />QTabWidget.clear (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Removes all the pages, but does not delete them. Calling this
function is equivalent to calling <a href="qtabwidget.html#removeTab">removeTab</a>() until the tab widget is
empty.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="cornerWidget" /><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> QTabWidget.cornerWidget (<i>self</i>, <a href="qt.html#Corner-enum">Qt.Corner</a> <i>corner</i> = Qt.TopRightCorner)</h3><p>Returns the widget shown in the <i>corner</i> of the tab widget
or 0.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qtabwidget.html#setCornerWidget">setCornerWidget</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="count" />int QTabWidget.count (<i>self</i>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="currentIndex" />int QTabWidget.currentIndex (<i>self</i>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="currentWidget" /><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> QTabWidget.currentWidget (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns a pointer to the page currently being displayed by the
tab dialog. The tab dialog does its best to make sure that this
value is never 0 (but if you try hard enough, it can be).</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qtabwidget.html#currentIndex-prop">currentIndex</a>() and <a href="qtabwidget.html#setCurrentWidget">setCurrentWidget</a>().</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="heightForWidth" />int QTabWidget.heightForWidth (<i>self</i>, int <i>width</i>)</h3><p>Reimplemented from <a href="qwidget.html#heightForWidth">QWidget.heightForWidth</a>().</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="iconSize" /><a href="qsize.html">QSize</a> QTabWidget.iconSize (<i>self</i>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="indexOf" />int QTabWidget.indexOf (<i>self</i>, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> <i>widget</i>)</h3><p>Returns the index position of the page occupied by the widget
<i>w</i>, or -1 if the widget cannot be found.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="initStyleOption" />QTabWidget.initStyleOption (<i>self</i>, <a href="qstyleoptiontabwidgetframe.html">QStyleOptionTabWidgetFrame</a> <i>option</i>)</h3><p>Initialize <i>option</i> with the values from this <a href="qtabwidget.html">QTabWidget</a>. This method is useful for
subclasses when they need a <a href="qstyleoptiontabwidgetframe.html">QStyleOptionTabWidgetFrame</a>,
but don't want to fill in all the information themselves.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qstyleoption.html#initFrom">QStyleOption.initFrom</a>() and
<a href="qtabbar.html#initStyleOption">QTabBar.initStyleOption</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="insertTab" />int QTabWidget.insertTab (<i>self</i>, int <i>index</i>, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> <i>widget</i>, QString)</h3><p>The <i>widget</i> argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.</p><p>Inserts a tab with the given <i>label</i> and <i>page</i> into
the tab widget at the specified <i>index</i>, and returns the index
of the inserted tab in the tab bar.</p>
<p>The label is displayed in the tab and may vary in appearance
depending on the configuration of the tab widget.</p>
<p>If the tab's <i>label</i> contains an ampersand, the letter
following the ampersand is used as a shortcut for the tab, e.g. if
the label is "Bro&wse" then Alt+W becomes a shortcut which will
move the focus to this tab.</p>
<p>If <i>index</i> is out of range, the tab is simply appended.
Otherwise it is inserted at the specified position.</p>
<p>If the <a href="qtabwidget.html">QTabWidget</a> was empty before
this function is called, the new page becomes the current page.
Inserting a new tab at an index less than or equal to the current
index will increment the current index, but keep the current
page.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> If you call insertTab() after <a href="qwidget.html#show">show</a>(), the layout system will try to
adjust to the changes in its widgets hierarchy and may cause
flicker. To prevent this, you can set the <a href="qwidget.html#updatesEnabled-prop">QWidget.updatesEnabled</a>
property to false prior to changes; remember to set the property to
true when the changes are done, making the widget receive paint
events again.</p>
