How to get Widget from UI file

[SPlatten]

@JonB , looking at the class as I said it does contain everything I need but I cannot find Ui_WsStatusPage (Class name) anywhere else in the file system or source code except in the header file itself.

@SPlatten
So put a breakpoint on its constructor, and on setupUi()..... If you are right, they will never be called and you can ignore all their code.

I wish I could, but the project is built with cmake, not in Qt Creator, I can only run it in the console.

You can use Qt Creator to open a CMakeLists.txt project and run console applications.

Then edit the code to put in a qDebug(), or a message box, or a print to file, or whatever....

Or, comment out that class, since you have said it is never used, and recompile.

@JonB , can I edit the content of ui_ws_status_page.h and add to it?

@SPlatten Your changes will be overridden next time this header file is generated

[SPlatten]

@jsulm , ok, so how can I fix the tabs in the UI to do what I want? I'm done this without the tabs in the UI but its to be a job to rip it all apart. Right now I need to call setTabBar after all the initialisation has completed with the tabs added, but I cannot all setTTabBar outside of the class as its a protected method.

@SPlatten
Outside of what class? I really don't know your code. If you need to access a protected method then subclass and you can do what you like?

[SPlatten]

@JonB , its really not my code, I'm just trying to make it work and failing.
