KTabWidget Class Reference

from PyKDE4.kdeui import *

Inherits: QTabWidget → QWidget → QObject

Detailed Description

A widget containing multiple tabs

It extends the Qt QTabWidget, providing extra optionally features such as close buttons when you hover over the icon in the tab, and also adds functionality such as responding to mouse wheel scroll events to switch the active tab.

It is recommended to use KTabWidget instead of QTabWidget unless you have a good reason not to.

See also the QTabWidget documentation.

Signal Documentation

closeRequest ( QWidget  a0
)

The close button of a widget's tab was clicked. This signal is only possible after you have called setCloseButtonEnabled( true ).

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("closeRequest(QWidget*)"), target_slot)
contextMenu ( QWidget  a0,
QPoint  a1
)

The right mouse button was pressed over a widget.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("contextMenu(QWidget*, const QPoint&)"), target_slot)
initiateDrag ( QWidget  a0
)

Request to start a drag operation on the given tab.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("initiateDrag(QWidget*)"), target_slot)
mouseDoubleClick (   )

A double left mouse button click was performed over the widget. The signal is emitted on the second press of the mouse button, before the release.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("mouseDoubleClick()"), target_slot)
mouseDoubleClick ( QWidget  a0
)

A double left mouse button click was performed over the widget. The signal is emitted on the second press of the mouse button, before the release.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("mouseDoubleClick(QWidget*)"), target_slot)
mouseMiddleClick (   )

A middle mouse button click was performed over the widget. The signal is emitted on the release of the mouse button.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("mouseMiddleClick()"), target_slot)
mouseMiddleClick ( QWidget  a0
)

A middle mouse button click was performed over the widget. The signal is emitted on the release of the mouse button.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("mouseMiddleClick(QWidget*)"), target_slot)
movedTab ( int  a0,
int  a1
)

A tab was moved from first to second index. This signal is only possible after you have called setTabReorderingEnabled( true ).

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("movedTab(int, int)"), target_slot)
receivedDropEvent ( QDropEvent  a0
)

Received an drop event on given widget's tab. This signal is only possible after testCanDecode and positive accept result.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("receivedDropEvent(QDropEvent*)"), target_slot)
receivedDropEvent ( QWidget  a0,
QDropEvent  a1
)

Received an drop event on given widget's tab. This signal is only possible after testCanDecode and positive accept result.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("receivedDropEvent(QWidget*, QDropEvent*)"), target_slot)

Method Documentation

__init__ (  self,
QWidget  parent=0,
Qt::WFlags  flags=0
)

Creates a new tab widget.

Parameters:
parent  The parent widgets.
flags  The Qt window flags
See also:
QWidget.

bool automaticResizeTabs (   self )

Returns true if calling setTitle() will resize tabs to the width of the tab bar.

currentChanged (  self,
int  a0
)

Deprecated:
This method has no effect and should not be called

dragEnterEvent (  self,
QDragEnterEvent  a0
)
dragMoveEvent (  self,
QDragMoveEvent  a0
)
dropEvent (  self,
QDropEvent  a0
)
bool hoverCloseButton (   self )

Returns true if the close button is shown on tabs when mouse is hovering over them.

Deprecated:
Use QTabWidget.tabsClosable() instead.

bool hoverCloseButtonDelayed (   self )

Returns true if the close button is shown on tabs after a delay.

Deprecated:
Use QTabWidget.setTabsClosable() instead.

bool isCloseButtonEnabled (   self )

Returns true if the close button is shown on tabs.

Since:
4.1

Deprecated:
Use QTabWidget.tabsClosable() instead.

bool isTabBarHidden (   self )

Returns true if the tabbar was hidden by a call to setTabBarHidden( true ). Returns false if the widget itself is hidden, but no call to setTabBarHidden( true ) has been made.

bool isTabReorderingEnabled (   self )

Returns true if tab ordering with the middle mouse button has been enabled.

Deprecated:
Use QTabWidget.isMovable() instead.

mouseDoubleClickEvent (  self,
QMouseEvent  a0
)
mousePressEvent (  self,
QMouseEvent  a0
)
mouseReleaseEvent (  self,
QMouseEvent  a0
)
moveTab (  self,
int  a0,
int  a1
)

Move a widget's tab from first to second specified index and emit signal movedTab( int, int ) afterwards.

removePage (  self,
QWidget  w
)

Removes the widget, reimplemented for internal reasons (keeping labels in sync).

Deprecated:
since 4.0

removeTab (  self,
int  index
)

Removes the widget, reimplemented for internal reasons (keeping labels in sync).

resizeEvent (  self,
QResizeEvent  a0
)
setAutomaticResizeTabs (  self,
bool  enable
)

If enable is true, tabs will be resized to the width of the tab bar.

Does not work reliably with "QTabWidget* foo=new KTabWidget()" and if you change tabs via the tabbar or by accessing tabs directly.

setCloseButtonEnabled (  self,
bool  a0
)

If enabled, a close button is available for each tab. The signal KTabWidget.closeRequest() is emitted, if the close button has been clicked.

Since:
4.1

Deprecated:
Use QTabWidget.setTabsClosable() instead.

setHoverCloseButton (  self,
bool  enable
)

If enable is true, a close button will be shown on mouse hover over tab icons which will emit signal closeRequest( QWidget * ) when pressed.

Deprecated:
Use QTabWidget.setTabsClosable() instead.

setHoverCloseButtonDelayed (  self,
bool  delayed
)

If delayed is true, a close button will be shown on mouse hover over tab icons after mouse double click delay else immediately.

Deprecated:
Use QTabWidget.setTabsClosable() instead.

setTabBarHidden (  self,
bool  hide
)

If hide is true, the tabbar is hidden along with any corner widgets.

setTabCloseActivatePrevious (  self,
bool  previous
)

If previous is true, closing the current tab activates the previous active tab instead of the one to the right.

Deprecated:
Use tabBar()->setSelectionBehaviorOnRemove() instead.

setTabReorderingEnabled (  self,
bool  enable
)

If enable is true, tab reordering with middle button will be enabled.

Note that once enabled you shouldn't rely on previously queried currentPageIndex() or indexOf( QWidget * ) values anymore.

You can connect to signal movedTab(int, int) which will notify you from which index to which index a tab has been moved.

Deprecated:
Use QTabWidget.setMovable() instead.

Note, however, that QTabWidget.setMovable(true) disables dragging tabs out of the KTabBar (e.g., dragging the tab URL from Konqueror to another application)!

setTabText (  self,
int  a0,
QString  a1
)

Reimplemented for internal reasons.

setTabTextColor (  self,
int  index,
QColor  color
)

Set the tab of the given widget to color. This is simply a convenience method for QTabBar.setTabTextColor.

int tabBarWidthForMaxChars (  self,
int  a0
)
bool tabCloseActivatePrevious (   self )

Returns true if closing the current tab activates the previous actice tab instead of the one to the right.

Deprecated:
Use tabBar()->selectionBehaviorOnRemove() instead.

tabInserted (  self,
int  a0
)
tabRemoved (  self,
int  a0
)
QString tabText (  self,
int  a0
)

Reimplemented for internal reasons.

QColor tabTextColor (  self,
int  index
)

Returns the tab color for the given widget. This is simply a convenience method for QTabBar.tabTextColor.
