[solved]QTabWidget problem: Clicking on disabled tab.
-
Greetings to all. I'm still a novice programmer and started using qt5 from yesterday. The problem I encountered was this ;
I created a QTabWidget with three pages, holding three widgets. In the constructor of my widget, i disabled last two tabs with tabWidget->setTabEnabled(1,false); tabWidget->setTabEnabled(2,false).
Everything works fine, my application runs and does all the work in normal flow, but when clicked on disabled tab, the program ends abruptly. Do I need to add some try-catch block to catch exception or what ? what exactly is causing problem ?
Thanks in advance.

What you do need is to run your program inside a debugger -- it will help you find out what's causing the crash.

That was a quick reply ! I really appreciate it. Thanks JKSH. Ok, so i ran the debugger, I got what was the problem...
I had my app connected to a slot on recieving tabBarClicked(int) event. The function in the slot ran even when tab was disabled. So I added an if() condition in the slot and now the app does not crash. But is that supposed to happen ? Can disabled tabs trigger events ?
