QTabBar::QTabBar(QWidget *parent = nullptr)

Creates a new tab bar with the given parent.

[signal] void QTabBar::currentChanged(int index)

This signal is emitted when the tab bar's current tab changes. The new current has the given index, or -1 if there isn't a new one (for example, if there are no tab in the QTabBar)

Note: Notifier signal for property currentIndex.

[signal] void QTabBar::tabBarClicked(int index)

This signal is emitted when user clicks on a tab at an index.

index is the index of a clicked tab, or -1 if no tab is under the cursor.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

[signal] void QTabBar::tabBarDoubleClicked(int index)

This signal is emitted when the user double clicks on a tab at index.

index refers to the tab clicked, or -1 if no tab is under the cursor.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

[signal] void QTabBar::tabCloseRequested(int index)

This signal is emitted when the close button on a tab is clicked. The index is the index that should be removed.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.

See also setTabsClosable().

[signal] void QTabBar::tabMoved(int from, int to)

This signal is emitted when the tab has moved the tab at index position from to index position to.

note: QTabWidget will automatically move the page when this signal is emitted from its tab bar.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.

See also moveTab().

[virtual] QTabBar::~QTabBar()

Destroys the tab bar.

QString QTabBar::accessibleTabName(int index) const

Returns the accessibleName of the tab at position index, or an empty string if index is out of range.

See also setAccessibleTabName().

int QTabBar::addTab(const QString &text)

Adds a new tab with text text. Returns the new tab's index.

int QTabBar::addTab(const QIcon &icon, const QString &text)

This is an overloaded function.

Adds a new tab with icon icon and text text. Returns the new tab's index.

[override virtual protected] void QTabBar::changeEvent(QEvent *event)

Reimplements: QWidget::changeEvent(QEvent *event).

[override virtual protected] bool QTabBar::event(QEvent *event)

Reimplements: QWidget::event(QEvent *event).

[override virtual protected] void QTabBar::hideEvent(QHideEvent *)

Reimplements: QWidget::hideEvent(QHideEvent *event).

[protected] void QTabBar::initStyleOption(QStyleOptionTab *option, int tabIndex) const

Initialize option with the values from the tab at tabIndex. This method is useful for subclasses when they need a QStyleOptionTab, but don't want to fill in all the information themselves.

See also QStyleOption::initFrom() and QTabWidget::initStyleOption().

int QTabBar::insertTab(int index, const QString &text)

Inserts a new tab with text text at position index. If index is out of range, the new tab is appened. Returns the new tab's index.

int QTabBar::insertTab(int index, const QIcon &icon, const QString &text)

This is an overloaded function.

Inserts a new tab with icon icon and text text at position index. If index is out of range, the new tab is appended. Returns the new tab's index.

If the QTabBar was empty before this function is called, the inserted tab becomes the current tab.

Inserting a new tab at an index less than or equal to the current index will increment the current index, but keep the current tab.

bool QTabBar::isTabEnabled(int index) const

Returns true if the tab at position index is enabled; otherwise returns false.

Sets the accessibleName of the tab at position index to name.

See also accessibleTabName().

void QTabBar::setTabButton(int index, QTabBar::ButtonPosition position, QWidget *widget)

Sets widget on the tab index. The widget is placed on the left or right hand side depending upon the position.

Any previously set widget in position is hidden.

The tab bar will take ownership of the widget and so all widgets set here will be deleted by the tab bar when it is destroyed unless you separately reparent the widget after setting some other widget (or nullptr).

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.
