How to switch on and off tab pages in runtime

Vittorio

Hi, all!

in my application I have a tabWidget with some tabs, created in qtcreator. In a settings dialog the user can select the tabs he wants to be visible in various situations. I write this values with QSettings and read them each time, when the application starts. To remove the tabs is not such a big task with, for example

@ui->tabWidget_ItemDetails->removeTab(3);@

but I fail when I try to add this tab in another situation...

I tried first to store the removed tab in a QWidget and after that to add this widget to the parent tab, but nothing happened, so obviously I did something wrong...

@ QWidget *removedTab = ui->tab_Dimensions; // store the tab that will be removed
ui->tabWidget_ItemDetails->removeTab(3); // remove the tab
ui->tabWidget->addTab(removedTab,"TestWidget"); // here I try to add the tab...@

Can someone show me the right direction to solve this task?

thanks in advance,
vittorio
