QTabWidget Question

MFreeM

Hi All,

I've created a widget subclass and added this as a tab onto QTabWidget. My main code below.

@
int main(int argc, char argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
Widget w = new Widget;
QTabWidget* desktopUI = new QTabWidget;
desktopUI->addTab(w, "Test");
QVBoxLayout* mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
mainLayout->addWidget(desktopUI);

return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}
@

When i run this app. The app default size is half the size of my widget, i'm forced to resize it manually before i can see all widgets on the tab.
For the life of me i cant figure out how to change the default size of the qtabwidget.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi MFreeM,

what do you use the layout for?
This should be removed.
Aditionally, you don't call show on the top level widget.

@
int main(int argc, char argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
Widget w = new Widget;
QTabWidget* desktopUI = new QTabWidget;
desktopUI->addTab(w, "Test");
desktopUI->show();

return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}

you don't need layout manager
@
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);.

Widget* w = new Widget;

QTabWidget desktopUI;

desktopUI.addTab(w, "Test");
desktopUI.resize(w->size());
desktopUI.show();

// QVBoxLayout* mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
// mainLayout->addWidget(desktopUI);

return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}

Oh sherbert sorry - i copied and pasted my code without thinking. This was me just playing around to see if i can try and sort the problem.

But i see rokemoon has helped with the size problem..

I'll try that - thanks!!
