Adding button to QTabWidget tabs

thehilmisu

Hi everyone,
I have created a QTabWidget and it's tab count changing dynamically when a signal is triggerd. I have add tabs like

@
QWidget *centralWidget = new QWidget();
ui->tabWidget->addTab(centralWidget,client->peerAddress().toString());
@
Everything is okey by now, but the problem is i want to add button to this tabs/centralWidget.

Is there anyway to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

if you want to add a button on a specific tab (e.g. a close tab button), you can use "setTabButton()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtabbar.html#setTabButton on the tab bar.

if you want to add a button to the tab widget itself (e.g. an add tab button), I think "setCornerWidget()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtabwidget.html#setCornerWidget is what you are searching.

Both "setTabButton()" and "setCornerWidget()" is not what i want. I want that button to inside the "tab" not the tab header section. In the tab. For example, I have 5 tabs and i select the third tab, i want to see this button inside this particular tab.

You mean something like that:

@
class MyPage : public QWidget
{
void addButton(QPushButton* button);
void setContents(QWidget* widget);
};

MyPage *page = new MyPage;
QWidget *centralWidget = new QWidget;

page->setContents(centralWidget);
page->addButton(new QPushButton);

ui->tabWidget->addTab(page, ,client->peerAddress().toString());

Let me explain it with this picture

Ok. That's what I tried to say with my piece of code :)

So you just have to create a base class for all your tabs, like the one in my previous post.

If you want to force your QTabWidget to use it only, you will have to sub-class QTabWidget.

Nevermind.

Thank you tilsitt !
I am going to try it and post the result.

In the GUI right click QTabWidget and select add page :)

Dear Thehillmisu,
I have the same problem. I would like to add a QChart to a tab in tabWidget. I came so long that I can show it in main window using following but I don't know how to access to the tabWidget itself:

ui->setupUi(this);
this->setCentralWidget(chartView);

Thanks in advance!
