Detailed Description

The QStyleOptionTab class is used for drawing several built-in Qt widgets including QTabBar and the panel for QTabWidget.

An instance of the QStyleOptionTab class has type SO_Tab and version 3. The type is used internally by QStyleOption, its subclasses, and qstyleoption_cast() to determine the type of style option. In general you do not need to worry about this unless you want to create your own QStyleOption subclass and your own styles. The version is used by QStyleOption subclasses to implement extensions without breaking compatibility. If you use qstyleoption_cast(), you normally do not need to check it.

For an example demonstrating how style options can be used, see the Styles example.

Member Type Documentation

enum QStyleOptionTab::CornerWidgetflags QStyleOptionTab::CornerWidgets

These flags indicate the corner widgets in a tab.

Constant Value Description
QStyleOptionTab::NoCornerWidgets 0x00 There are no corner widgets
QStyleOptionTab::LeftCornerWidget 0x01 Left corner widget
QStyleOptionTab::RightCornerWidget 0x02 Right corner widget

The CornerWidgets type is a typedef for QFlags<CornerWidget>. It stores an OR combination of CornerWidget values.

See also cornerWidgets.

enum QStyleOptionTab::SelectedPosition

This enum describes the position of the selected tab. Some styles need to draw a tab differently depending on whether or not it is adjacent to the selected tab.

Constant Value Description
QStyleOptionTab::NotAdjacent 0 The tab is not adjacent to a selected tab (or is the selected tab).
QStyleOptionTab::NextIsSelected 1 The next tab (typically the tab on the right) is selected.
QStyleOptionTab::PreviousIsSelected 2 The previous tab (typically the tab on the left) is selected.

See also selectedPosition.

enum QStyleOptionTab::StyleOptionType

This enum is used to hold information about the type of the style option, and is defined for each QStyleOption subclass.

Constant Value Description
QStyleOptionTab::Type SO_Tab The type of style option provided (SO_Tab for this class).

The type is used internally by QStyleOption, its subclasses, and qstyleoption_cast() to determine the type of style option. In general you do not need to worry about this unless you want to create your own QStyleOption subclass and your own styles.

See also StyleOptionVersion.

enum QStyleOptionTab::StyleOptionVersion

This enum is used to hold information about the version of the style option, and is defined for each QStyleOption subclass.

Constant Value Description
QStyleOptionTab::Version 3 3

The version is used by QStyleOption subclasses to implement extensions without breaking compatibility. If you use qstyleoption_cast(), you normally do not need to check it.

See also StyleOptionType.

enum QStyleOptionTab::TabFeatureflags QStyleOptionTab::TabFeatures

Describes the various features that a tab button can have.

Constant Value Description
QStyleOptionTab::None 0x00 A normal tab button.
QStyleOptionTab::HasFrame 0x01 The tab button is positioned on a tab frame

The TabFeatures type is a typedef for QFlags<TabFeature>. It stores an OR combination of TabFeature values.

See also QStyleOptionToolBar::features.

enum QStyleOptionTab::TabPosition

This enum describes the position of the tab.

Constant Value Description
QStyleOptionTab::Beginning 0 The tab is the first tab in the tab bar.
QStyleOptionTab::Middle 1 The tab is neither the first nor the last tab in the tab bar.
QStyleOptionTab::End 2 The tab is the last tab in the tab bar.
