You want to show a window inside another window?
Are you talking about MDI or do I misunderstand you?

Hi jsulm,
I want to show window inside tabwidget of mainwindow

@Shankar-B A window is usually not inside another window - that's why it is called window. Do you maybe mean that you want to show a widget in your tabwidget? You should really use correct terminology and explain exactly what you want to do.

How to show widget in side tabwidget

Take a look at this example: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-dialogs-tabdialog-example.html
Especially this part:

TabDialog::TabDialog(const QString &fileName, QWidget *parent)
    : QDialog(parent)
{
    QFileInfo fileInfo(fileName);

    tabWidget = new QTabWidget;
    tabWidget->addTab(new GeneralTab(fileInfo), tr("General"));
    tabWidget->addTab(new PermissionsTab(fileInfo), tr("Permissions"));
    tabWidget->addTab(new ApplicationsTab(fileInfo), tr("Applications"));

Here GeneralTab, PermissionsTab and ApplicationsTab are widgets (derived from QWidget).
