How to add a QScrollArea as a tab in a QTabWidget

[Perdrix]

If I right click in a QTabWidget and select Insert Page/After Current Page it will add a new page containing a QWidget.

How can I make that into QScrollArea ...

I tried manually editing the ui file witha XML editor, but soon gave that up as a bad job.

Clearly I not approaching this from the right direction - surely this must be possible?

Make what into QScrollArea? Where do you want this? You can add one onto tabs after they are created, if that is what you mean. Designer adds a blank QWidget as a page, IIRC, you cannot change that fact, and should live with it.

@JonB I don't want it to be a QWidget, I want it to be a scroll area from the get go. If I add a scroll area to the QWidget, I'm offered no way to set a layout on the QWidget such that the scroll area will fill it

It is possible but it is counter-intuitive :)

• add the scroll area to the tab widget
• right-clic on the tab widget and choose Lay out-> Lay out horizontal or vertical
