QTabbar with rich text / html tab text

[Berryblue031]

Does anybody have experience with getting the Tabs in a QTabbar to render html/rich text?
I couldn't find any references on the web for this and could use a push in the right direction.

Thank you

Ok I couldn't find an ideal solution to this problem, so I implemented a quick and dirty one that I thought I would share.

QTabbar actually supports having two widgets on each tab, one on the right, and one on the left ( this is how close buttons are made ), so instead of setting the text on the tabs I write the text to a label (which supports html) and force it to take up the width of the whole tab.

class RichTextTabBar : public QTabBar
{
		Q_OBJECT
public:
	void setTabText(int index, const QString& text)
        {
	     QLabel* label = new QLabel(text);
	     label->setFixedSize(mTabWidth, mTabHeight);
	     label->setStyleSheet("padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px; padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px;");
	     setTabButton(index, QTabBar::LeftSide, label);
       }
 
private:
	int mTabWidth;
	int mTabHeight;
};
 
class RichTextTabWidget : public QTabWidget
{
	Q_OBJECT
public:
	RichTextTabWidget(QWidget* parent = 0)
	: QTabWidget(parent)
	{
		setTabBar(new RichTextTabBar());
	}
 
	void setTabText(int index, const QString &label)
        {
               tabBar()->setTabText(index, label);
        }	
 
private:
	RichTextTabBar* tabBar() const;
};

class RichTextTabBar : public QTabBar
{
		Q_OBJECT
public:
	void setTabText(int index, const QString& text)
        {
	     QLabel* label = new QLabel(text);
	     label->setFixedSize(mTabWidth, mTabHeight);
	     label->setStyleSheet("padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px; padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px;");
	     setTabButton(index, QTabBar::LeftSide, label);
       }

private:
	int mTabWidth;
	int mTabHeight;
};

class RichTextTabWidget : public QTabWidget
{
	Q_OBJECT
public:
	RichTextTabWidget(QWidget* parent = 0)
	: QTabWidget(parent)
	{
		setTabBar(new RichTextTabBar());
	}

	void setTabText(int index, const QString &label)
        {
               tabBar()->setTabText(index, label);
        }	

private:
	RichTextTabBar* tabBar() const;
};
