Offsetting the tab in QTabWidget

mrjj

@Pauly
For start just use Creator
Open a form UI file and place a tabwidget
Then right click it and select Change Stylesheet.
Its a mini editor.

And then read

Thanks a lot. I'm able to get something like this... poor man version...

I think some of the pushbutton at the top left corner is behind the title bar. How can I deal with this? Thanks!

Hi
Just set y of the button to zero
Seems to be minus currently.

To raise the button over the other widgets, use

PushButton->raise();

seems obvious, right.

;-)

Pauly

Yes, I made its y negative trying to have the button sit on top of the title bar, as the word scheme looks like. PushButton->raise(); does not raise it above the title bar. I read some post which said that title bar will always on top? Thanks...

@Pauly
The title bar is a so called decoration and is drawn by the OS/windows manager.
So the button can never be on top of it. ( also since its a child of mainwindow )

Also the button. is in a layout or anything else ?

Pauly

After some researching, I hide the title bar by adding

setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::CustomizeWindowHint);

Now I get:

Gone with the title bar is the drag&move, the minimize/maximize/close buttons. I guess I can add some widget for those function. Is there a Qt class that handle these kind of actions (title bar actions)? Thanks!

Hi
Sadly no, if you remove the decorations, you must re-implement all these features.
That said, if you ONLY need the min/max functions and not resize then its
just a few functions from QMainwindow to mimic those.

Pauly

I tried it and it is more invloving to redo the title bar with a widget. The title bar response to upside resize and width change etc. I decide to defer it to later time. Maybe that is not a good idea for poor man. :)

Nah for a fully functional version of a "word look" the amount of work would
sort of disqualify it for a poors mans version. :)

Pauly

Thanks a lot. :)
