在Qt Designer中创建选项卡式文档界面？

Question

I am trying to write a program that will use a tabbed document interface (TDI) like seen in Notepad++ or most web browsers. I know how to build GUIs using Qt Designer, and code in Qt C++ (after a few days of playing around).

I have created an example of what each page widget will look like using Designer, and now I want to add the ability to create and testroy tabs at runtime, each containing a unique instance of the page widget. However, I have no idea how to do this without adding a class that extends QWidget, and building the page widget with code. I could go down this route, but I'm sure there must be a better way of creating a TDI; but I can't find any tutorials or examples of how to do this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

For creating tab interfaces you should look into QTabWidget .

It is a container widget included in Qt Designer which automatically handles operations on tabs. It has several build in methods for manipulating its tabs and theirs contents.

Each page of QTabWidget is handled separately and can have different layouts and functionality.

If you want to include several different objects to one page assign a layout to it and then assign the objects to the layout.
