[Solved] QTabWidget over MenuBar

[huckfinn]

Hello,

I have a manubar already on top of my MainWindow as you can see on the pic. !http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/8499/screengx.png(MainWindow)!

further on I would like to create a Tab first with on, "test" and later on with other.
Therfore I found examples, but as you can see the Widgets overlap.

@
QWidget *w = new QWidget;
dTabWidget = new QTabWidget(this);

dTabWidget->addTab(w, "Test");
dTabWidget->show();

mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;

// mainLayout->addWidget(menuBar());
mainLayout->addWidget(dTabWidget);

// dTabWidget = new QTabWidget(mainLayout);
// initTab = new InitImportTab(dTabWidget);
setLayout(mainLayout);
@

how can I have the menubar on top and then the tabs?

Thank you fpr you hints..

You should create a new QTabWidget, and set that as the centralWidget of your main window.

I have tried it, but then I have two seperate windows. My initial window the the menubars and another smaller window with just that tab.
@
dTabWidget = new QTabWidget(centralWidget());
@

Just do this:

@
dTabWidget = new QTabWidget(0);
this->setCentralWidget(dTabWidget);
@

What was happening, is that centralWidget() returns 0 by default: no central widget has been set. Creating a widget with a 0 parent results in a top level widget. Thus, you end up with two widgets. In the code snippet I gave you, this does not happen, as QMainWindow will set the correct parent for you as soon as you invoke setCentralWidget.

Ok, I have set the centralWidget.
Now, I have the same problem as on beginning, my tabs are over my menubar..

I can't click on "Members" in the screenshot above..

Could you show your code, please?

[huckfinn]

Yes of course:

@
initTab = new InitImportTab; // ==QWidget
dTabWidget = new QTabWidget(0);
this->setCentralWidget(dTabWidget);

dTabWidget->addTab(initTab, "Test");
dTabWidget->show();

mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout(this);

// mainLayout->addWidget(menuBar());
mainLayout->addWidget(dTabWidget);

setLayout(mainLayout);

Ah ok, my Layout is faulty.

Without Layout looks perfect. Anyway, I would prefer a Layout, because I will add Buttons and so an later on, and with layouts its much more organized..

Then create a QWidget, set a layout and call setCentralWidget :

@
QWidget *mainWidget = new QWidget;

QTabWidget *tabWidget = new QTabWidget;
QPushButton *button = new QPushButton("My button");

QVBoxLayout *mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
mainLayout->addWidget(tabWidget);
mainLayout->addWidget(button);
mainWidget->setLayout(mainLayout);

setCentralWidget(mainWidget);
