Setting multiple size to qtabbar

[kitten]

hi
i have a qtabwidget that has a qtabbar
i want to set different sizes to any tabs
how can i do that?

Have not tried it, but I would assume overriding the QTabBar::tabSizeHint() function would do the trick.

can you give me some more information
for example a bit code
tnx

Sure. You have to create your own subclass of QTabBar, where you override tabSizeHint, something like this:
@
class TabBar : public QTabBar
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit TabBar(QWidget *parent = 0) :
QTabBar(parent)
{
}

protected:
QSize tabSizeHint(int index) const
{
QSize hint = QTabBar::tabSizeHint(index);

    if (index == 0)
        return QSize(100, hint.height());
    else
        return hint;
}

};
@

To make your tab widget use it, I think you have to subclass QTabWidget as well, something like this:
@
class TabWidget : public QTabWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit TabWidget(QWidget *parent = 0) :
QTabWidget(parent)
{
setTabBar(new TabBar);
}
};
@

This will make the first tab of a TabWidget have width 100.
