QTabWidget : hide/show strange behavior

Message 1 in thread

Hello,

Using SUSE 10.2 and QT 4.3.

In my application when a user can select to hide tab (page). I wrote the 
following but it doesn't work the way I expected, the tab (page) stays 
on BUT the content is hidden.  I WANT the tab to be hidden with the content.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// c-tor
MainWindow::MainWindow()
    : ...
{
...
tabs = new QTabWidget(myMainSplitter);  //tabs - private member
tabs->addTab( ctrlWidget,  "&Controls");
tabs->addTab( viewWidget,  "&Views");
...
}// c-tor */


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// this will be called when F9 is pressed
//
void MainWindow::tabsEnabler(int indx)
{
    if (enableTabCheckBox) {
        tabs->widget( indx )->hide();
   }else{
        tabs->widget( indx )->show();
   }
}//tabsEnabler */

~~~~~~~~~

any idea ?

Thanks,
Joshua

I ran into the same problem. You'll have to actually remove and add them
to the tabwidget, as needed, like this:
	if(enable)
		tabs->insertTab(tab[index], label[index], index);
	else
		tabs->removePage(tab[index]);

Cheers,
Peter
