tabWidget duplicate frames

[ilmandorlone]

hello I am marco and I am new in the forum

I just started with QT but I'm a autodidact programmer c ++ for a long time

I wanted to create a tab with a distinctive form and each time you create a new tab window I have always the same layout and my basic forms

void MainWindow::on_tabWidget_currentChanged(int index)
{
    qDebug() << n_tab;
    if (index == n_tab){
        ui->tabWidget->setTabText(n_tab, "QString::number(n_tab)");
 
        QWidget *tabWidget;
        tabWidget = new QWidget;
 
        // ===============================================
        // copi form from tab 1 end paste on new tabWidget
        // ===============================================
 
        ui->tabWidget->addTab(tabWidget,"+");
        n_tab ++;
    }
}

void MainWindow::on_tabWidget_currentChanged(int index)
{
    qDebug() << n_tab;
    if (index == n_tab){
        ui->tabWidget->setTabText(n_tab, "QString::number(n_tab)");

        QWidget *tabWidget;
        tabWidget = new QWidget;
        
        // ===============================================
        // copi form from tab 1 end paste on new tabWidget
        // ===============================================
        
        ui->tabWidget->addTab(tabWidget,"+");
        n_tab ++;
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in this case if we press the "+" tab add a new tab
I would like already I said the nuvo widget is equal to the first


Thank you in advance

Design the page widget as a separate form (New -> Qt -> Qt Designer Form Class) and then create instances of that widget instead of QWidget.

[ilmandorlone]

thank you so much
as associate now my widget class to the new tab?
tabwidget is my class

void MainWindow::on_tabWidget_currentChanged(int index)
{
    qDebug() << n_tab;
    if (index == n_tab){
        ui->tabWidget->setTabText(n_tab, "new");
 
        tabSerial *tabWidget;
        tabWidget = new tabSerial;
 
        ui->tabWidget->addTab(tabWidget,"+");
        n_tab ++;
    }
}

void MainWindow::on_tabWidget_currentChanged(int index)
{
    qDebug() << n_tab;
    if (index == n_tab){
        ui->tabWidget->setTabText(n_tab, "new");

        tabSerial *tabWidget;
        tabWidget = new tabSerial;

        ui->tabWidget->addTab(tabWidget,"+");
        n_tab ++;
    }
}

I am not sure what you are asking, this looks ok.

Three things I would have done differently:
- ui->tabwidget->count() instead of n_tab, no point in risking a variable getting out of syn
- TabSerial instead of tabSerial, classes usually start with an upper case character in Qt apps
- avoid using of "connect by name" and use explicit connect() instead.

Cheers,

[ilmandorlone]

ok sorry

I modified the class as you told me but I did not understand how to use the connect ()

void MainWindow::on_tabWidget_currentChanged(int index)
{
    qDebug() << index;
    if (index == ui->tabWidget->count()-1){
        ui->tabWidget->setTabText(ui->tabWidget->count()-1, "port");
        tabWidget *serialtab;
        serialtab = new tabWidget();
 
        ui->tabWidget->addTab(serialtab,"+");
    }
}

void MainWindow::on_tabWidget_currentChanged(int index)
{
    qDebug() << index;
    if (index == ui->tabWidget->count()-1){
        ui->tabWidget->setTabText(ui->tabWidget->count()-1, "port");
        tabWidget *serialtab;
        serialtab = new tabWidget();

        ui->tabWidget->addTab(serialtab,"+");
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

now my class isthis

please can help me with an example

[anda_skoa]

The explicit connect would look something like this

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget* parent) 
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
 
    connect(ui->tabWidget, &QTabWidget::currentChanged, this, &MainWindow::onCurrentTabChanged);
}

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget* parent) 
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    connect(ui->tabWidget, &QTabWidget::currentChanged, this, &MainWindow::onCurrentTabChanged);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

where onCurrentTabChanged would be the function you currently have, just with a different name. Can be any valid method name in that class.

really thank you for your patience.

I'm sorry but I have not figured out how to attach my widget to the new tab.

in my example the new tab windows are always empty and you do not see the widget

[mynamebilalzahid]

where will you run the tab ?

addTab() should do that.
Does your widget work stand alone?
E.g. testing as a separate window by calling serialTab->show() instead of passing it to addTab?
