[SOLVED] Hide and show a QTabWidget tab

[andreyc]

Welcome to Qt DevNet.

Have you tried tabWidget->tabBar()->hide() ?

[douglaspsilva]

Yes, I tried already. But did not work.

[douglaspsilva]

I'm not sure if was it's clear, but I want to hide and show a specific tab, not the whole tabBar.

[andreyc]

Are you talking about something like this
@
void Widget::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
if (m_hiddenWidget) {
ui->tabWidget->insertTab(m_hiddenIndex, m_hiddenWidget, m_hiddenLabel);
m_hiddenWidget = nullptr;
ui->pushButton->setText("Hide");
} else {
m_hiddenWidget = ui->tabWidget->currentWidget();
m_hiddenIndex = ui->tabWidget->indexOf(m_hiddenWidget);
m_hiddenLabel = ui->tabWidget->tabText(m_hiddenIndex);
ui->tabWidget->removeTab(m_hiddenIndex);
ui->pushButton->setText("Show");
}
}

Thank you for the response, but, I think it won't work in my case because into the tab I have a set of widgets which must to be hidden/showed too.

These tabs were designed using QtCreator and not initialized along with my code, then I do not insert a new tab from my code as it was created before, I thought it would be a matter of setting it as hidden or visible, but it is not looking like so simple.

[andreyc]

In my example I created QTabWidget in Qt designer.
Each tab in the QTabWidget is a QWidget that contains other widgets.
In my example m_hiddenWidget is a QWidget and it keeps all widgets that are in the current widget like edit lines and the labels.
At the begging m_hiddenWidget is nullptr I use it to keep the content of a hidden tab between remove and insert.

Ok, I'll try this. When finish it I'll tell you the status.

Thanks again.
