How do you tab into the fields of a tab box if the tab box is dynamically generated?

psigil

I currently have a form with some Line Edit fields and a tab box below. This tab box is populated with three selectable tabs that each have their own unique line edit fields. I would like to be able to tab from the main form's line edit fields into the line edit fields of whatever tab is currently being displayed.

I cannot just set the tab order through QT Designer because the tab box is dynamically generated.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Just take a look at the generated code for the ui file and you will find QWidget::setTabOrder()

Ok, I see in the generated code that setTabOrder() is called for each widget in the form.

Can I still use the .ui file and overwrite the tabbing behaviour using setTabOrder() or does this mean that I have to impliment the form without a .ui file?

Hi
Using an UI file is 100% the same as using plain code.
The UI files is converted to C++ code which is run in
setupUI() function
so after that function you can just change it with setTabOrder
all you wish.
