[Solved] Hiding tab from QTabWidget made in QtCreator

[vezprog]

Hi,

I am using QtCreator and have implemented a QTabWidget on my MainWindow. With the designer, I have 4 tabs that all include layouts / a ton of UI elements / etc.

I haven't been able to figure this out yet but is there a way to "hide" a specific tab if it was created in the designer? I would like to hide and show specific tabs with respect to what the user selects.

I know if you generate it through code then you can add / remove references to tabs as you please, but unfortunately this isn't really an option for me at this moment in time.

Thanks.

There's no built in method like setTabVisible(false) unfortunately.
The workaround I often use is applying this stylesheet:
@
QTabWidget::tab:disabled { width: 0; height: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; }
@
and then using setTabEnabled(false).
Of course if you also need disabled (grayed out) tabs this method won't work.

ahhhhh makes perfect sense. That works great, thank you!

Nice trick, thanks for posting!

Dunno if there is a change in the code, but the CSS is applied only with :

QTabBar::tab:disabled {
width: 0;
height: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
}

(and no QTabWidget::tab)
