    hello,
    changing tab(QTabWidget) to another tab cause repaint view twice.
    on that view i have OGLWidget with complicated charts and changing tab this is very horrible because of paint routine double called.

    i checked my application for any update, repaint occurences also all of events working fine except this above.
    it will be gratefull to know how the problem should be resolved.

    you could try to resolve the issue manually:

    attach yourself to the "currentChanged":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtabwidget.html#currentChanged signal and set your GLWidget to visible while hiding the old widget in the connected slot.
    IIRC, that's more or less the mechanics within the QTabWidget class itself, but there might be other stuff going on that causes the additional repaint.

    but ive aleardy had this signal connected and slot is empty and double repoaint still.
    notice only that action causing twice paint. i really read my code carefully few times. i need info how to check what event causing this ot/and how to write some mechanizm to block update/paint at all and control thi only by own code.

    have you tried hiding/showing your GLWidget upon button press? That way, you could test whether repaint is called twice, too (which would make it a problem independent of the QTabWidget class).

    Also (very important IMO): double check whether there are any unnecessary connections. Connecting to the same signal twice will result in a slot getting called twice.

    If this doesn't help, I'm afraid the best way to track your problem is to put a breakpoint into your repaint method and analyze the stack trace to see where the second call originates from.

    oh yes i checked it using show/hide and some more - no twice redraw.

    this is very hard work to check all connection ...

    so gdb is only one solution . i think the same.

    i ve just resolved it using some workaroud :
    @
    bool oglPlotWidget::event(QEvent *e)
    { //12.77,18,24
    if (e->type() == 18 || e->type() == 24 || e->type() == 77)
    return false;
    return QGLWidget::event(e);
    }
    @
    may You tell me about some more elegance eoltion ?

    Please edit your posts (using the edit link on the right-hand side of the post) instead of creating a new entry for corrections. I've merged the two entries into one.

    Thanks!
