QTabWidget tabPosition west and text alignment horizontal

[neel2818]

Hi All,

I have one query regarding QtabWidget.
In QTabWidget if tab position is west then text is align to vertical. i want to text to be align in horizontal if tab position is west.

I have used QTabWidget in my code. and tab position is west and i want to align text in horizontal.

Can you please give me some example with code or give some useful link.

Thanks,
Neel

I think you have to create your own subclass of QTabWidget / QTabBar to achive this.

Or possibly, a QProxyStyle can do the trick, in which you override the rendering of the tabs.

but how to do that .. can you please give me with example ....

Both approaches are not trivial. It is not so easy to do, nor to give a simple sample for it. You will have to start digging into the documentation for it. [[doc:QProxyStyle]] could be a place to start.

I have reimplemented the paintEvent of QTabBar then i am able to change the text alignment to horizontal.
But another question i also want to add space between two tabs which configurable property. i have added space by drawControl method in painting but when i add space then after that size of the tab decrease. what is the reason ?
