Had a similar Issue. Was able to find a solution. Below is a generic PyQt5 example that solves the problem using right click.
import sys
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
class Tabs(QTabWidget):
def __init__(self, parent):
super().__init__(parent)
self.parent = parent
self.setAcceptDrops(True)
self.tabBar = self.tabBar()
self.tabBar.setMouseTracking(True)
self.indexTab = None
self.setMovable(True)
self.addTab(QWidget(self), 'Tab One')
self.addTab(QWidget(self), 'Tab Two')
def mouseMoveEvent(self, e):
if e.buttons() != Qt.RightButton:
return
globalPos = self.mapToGlobal(e.pos())
tabBar = self.tabBar
posInTab = tabBar.mapFromGlobal(globalPos)
self.indexTab = tabBar.tabAt(e.pos())
tabRect = tabBar.tabRect(self.indexTab)
pixmap = QPixmap(tabRect.size())
tabBar.render(pixmap,QPoint(),QRegion(tabRect))
mimeData = QMimeData()
drag = QDrag(tabBar)
drag.setMimeData(mimeData)
drag.setPixmap(pixmap)
cursor = QCursor(Qt.OpenHandCursor)
drag.setHotSpot(e.pos() - posInTab)
drag.setDragCursor(cursor.pixmap(),Qt.MoveAction)
dropAction = drag.exec_(Qt.MoveAction)
def dragEnterEvent(self, e):
e.accept()
if e.source().parentWidget() != self:
return
print(self.indexOf(self.widget(self.indexTab)))
self.parent.TABINDEX = self.indexOf(self.widget(self.indexTab))
def dragLeaveEvent(self,e):
e.accept()
def dropEvent(self, e):
print(self.parent.TABINDEX)
if e.source().parentWidget() == self:
return
e.setDropAction(Qt.MoveAction)
e.accept()
counter = self.count()
if counter == 0:
self.addTab(e.source().parentWidget().widget(self.parent.TABINDEX),e.source().tabText(self.parent.TABINDEX))
else:
self.insertTab(counter + 1 ,e.source().parentWidget().widget(self.parent.TABINDEX),e.source().tabText(self.parent.TABINDEX))
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.TABINDEX = 0
tabWidgetOne = Tabs(self)
tabWidgetTwo = Tabs(self)
layout = QHBoxLayout()
self.moveWidget = None
layout.addWidget(tabWidgetOne)
layout.addWidget(tabWidgetTwo)
self.setLayout(layout)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
