[Solved]tab size

Eddy

You can use Qt Designer to add a tabwidget, drag a QCalendar to the first, drag something else to the second and so on.
You can insert additional pages using RMB > Insert Page.

Can you show your code where you add the Calendar to the TabWidget?

eddy,

I have already made a calender, in the sense, somthing like a custom calender.
and the tabwidget is jus the default designer one.
I cant figure out how to put the buttons/calender as whole on to the tab :(

I have used
@
ui->setupUi(this);

initMemberVariable();// here buttons are created- 30/31 days

initMonthYear();// defining each month

initWeekDay();// arranging the week display

createLayout();// arranging the whole layout

I would expect you make a class for your custom widget and then you add an instance to a specific tab widget page.
As I see your code, I guess you don't have a class?

alfah

@
CalenderForm::CalenderForm(QWidget *parent): QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::CalenderForm)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

initMemberVariable();

initMonthYear();

initWeekDay();

createLayout();

}
@

this class has few other functions defined too.
could u elaborate on ur earlier explanation, i could not follow :(

You are inheriting from QMainWindow. I would rather use a QWidget. Can you show your header file?

alfah

@

ifndef CALENDERFORM_H
#define CALENDERFORM_H

#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QDate>
#include <QtGui>
namespace Ui
{
class CalenderForm;
}

class CalenderForm : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT

public:

explicit CalenderForm(QWidget *parent = 0);
virtual ~CalenderForm();

private:

Ui::CalenderForm *ui;
int monthValue;

int iArrCycleStage[6][7];
int iArrDates[6][7],ht,wd;
QString strArrayNotes[6][7];
QDate selectedDate;
QGridLayout *controlsLayout;
QLabel *monthDisplay,*yearDisplay,*weekDisplay[7];
QHBoxLayout *weekLayout;
QPushButton *cellBut[6][7],*button;
QLabel *pLabelDateDisplay,*pLabelStatus;
QString strPreviousSelection;

private slots:
}

As I said I would subclass from QWidget.

In Qt Designer you can put a QWidget in the tab you like as a placeholder and then promote it to your CalenderForm. When compiling the QWidget will be considered as a CalenderForm and shown that way.

Here is a "similar topic":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/8334/#48778 on how to promote a QFrame to a custom widget. Use a QWidget instead and your CalenderForm.

have a look at "this example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/dialogs-tabdialog.html . it uses a QTabWidget and a class derived from QWidget to populate it.

Hello everyone,

I have a doubt regarding the tab size. The 3 tabs that I've created does not entirely fill up the screen. How can i expand the tabs to fill the screen????

@
tabWidget->setStyleSheet("QTabBar::tab{height:60px; width:160px}");
