QT TabBar side pane only


I have added a QTabWidget which is checkable. I want to hide all tabs (panes only) when the TabBar is unchecked and vice versa. Is there any way to make only pane invisible and tab bar will not disappear? I add the image reference related to what I want in output:

Initially both tab pane is minimize and when i click on the tab it will maximize:

after clicking pane is maximize and again i click it will minimize and vice versa:

Solution

  • Instead of using QTabWidget. You can use a QTabBar and implement the functionality you desire hiding the corresponding widget.

    here is some sample code of a new widget application example within qt creator

    #include "MainWindow.h"
    #include "ui_MainWindow.h"
    
    #include <QTabBar>
    
    MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
        QMainWindow(parent),
        ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
    {
        ui->setupUi(this);
        m_tabbar = new QTabBar(this->centralWidget());
        m_tabbar->addTab("Hello");
        m_tabbar->addTab("World");
        m_tabbar->setShape(QTabBar::RoundedWest);
        m_tabbar->setGeometry(0,0,this->height(), 200);
    
    
        connect(m_tabbar, SIGNAL(tabBarClicked(int)), this, SLOT(changedTab(int)));
    }
    
    MainWindow::~MainWindow()
    {
        delete ui;
    }
    
    
    void
    MainWindow::changedTab(int idx)
    {
        m_tabbar->setCurrentIndex(idx);
        ui->stackedWidget->setCurrentIndex(idx);
    }
