Create tabs for QTabWidget, but do not display all tabs.

[SRaD]

I've added tabs to my QTabWidget in the following way ...

tabs = new QTabWidget;
tabs->addTab(new Tab1(mywidget), tr("Tab 1"));
tabs->addTab(new Tab2, tr("Tab 2"));

Tab1 and Tab2 are classes derived from QWidget. I'd like to just create, say Tab2, but not actually display this tab. But somehow have a handle to the tabs I do not add yet so that I can add and remove them at will.

How would this be done?

Simply QWidget* tab2 = new Tab2().

But somehow have a handle to the tabs I do not add yet

The pointer is a"handle".

so that I can add and remove them at will.

Just use addTab/removeTab as in your example whenever you need.
