    Default QTabWidget or QWidget signals

    Hi,
    I need to know when a specific tab of QTabWidget becomes active and when another tab is selected.
    I found some signals QTabWidget::currentChanged(int index) or QTabWidget::tabBarClicked(int index), but I wonder if exist something more specific, maybe some signals in inner widget. This because tab are dynamic and the "target tab" can change index, so I shoud implement a messy logic to chose the right index

    best regards

    When it comes to dynamic UIs in most cases it's up to you to keep track of indices and stuff. You could easily react on insert, move and remove events of QTabWidget/QTabBar to keep your tabs organized.

    You can also always ask for the widget at a given index, so if you know how to handle a specific widget rather than an index, do that.

    Cheers,
