QML-TabWidget

saitej

Hi

Is QML Tabwidget part of Qt-5.6.1?

I was trying to use it with following code

import QtQuick          2.6
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
import QtQml 2.2
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.0

TabWidget{
    
}

It doesn't seem to recognize Tabwidget but it recognizes TabView

Looks like they are just example files for showing documentation in QML files.
Use TabView from QQC1 or TabBar from QQC2 in your applications.

Thanks for your reply.
Seeing the link of tabwidget, it says it is a part of UI components module.

What is the best component to use (tabview or tabbar) for doing something like this.

Tab

From the page you linked:

Import Statement: import UIComponents 1.0

you are missing that import

@saitej Well it looks like you will need a lots of styling to do. So IMO TabView so that it can be styled using TabViewStyle.

@VRonin

I tried that already but it didn't help. Infact I got an error on that line.

Can you tell me how to know the latest versions of different modules (like QtQuick.Controls etc) that certain version of Qt supports like (Qt 5.6.1).

Thanks

@saitej Donot use TabWidget. Its nothing. Look at its code here. It doesnot even have methods to add tabs. Customization would be more difficult.

Ya. I forgot that all widgets are for ready to use and not for customized usage. I will keep that in mind.
