<p> The QTabDialog class provides a stack of tabbed widgets.
<p> 

<p> A tabbed dialog is one in which several "tab pages" are available.
By clicking on a tab page's tab or by pressing the indicated
Alt+<em>letter</em> key combination, the user can select which tab page
they want to use.
<p> QTabDialog provides a tab bar consisting of single row of tabs at
the top; each tab has an associated widget which is that tab's
tab page. In addition, QTabDialog provides an OK button and the
following optional buttons: Apply, Cancel, Defaults and Help.
<p> The normal way to use QTabDialog is to do the following in the
constructor:
<ol type=1>
<li> Create a QTabDialog.
<li> Create a <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> for each of the pages in the tab dialog, insert
children into it, set up geometry management for it, and use
<a href="#addTab">addTab</a>() (or <a href="#insertTab">insertTab</a>()) to set up a tab and keyboard accelerator
for it.
<li> Set up the buttons for the tab dialog using <a href="#setOkButton">setOkButton</a>(),
<a href="#setApplyButton">setApplyButton</a>(), setDefaultsButton(), <a href="#setCancelButton">setCancelButton</a>() and
<a href="#setHelpButton">setHelpButton</a>().
<li> Connect to the signals and slots.
</ol>
<p> If you don't call addTab() the page you have created will not be
visible. Don't confuse the object name you supply to the
QWidget constructor and the tab label you supply to addTab();
addTab() takes user-visible name that appears on the widget's tab
and may identify an accelerator, whereas the widget name is used
primarily for debugging.
<p> Almost all applications have to connect the <a href="#applyButtonPressed">applyButtonPressed</a>()
signal to something. applyButtonPressed() is emitted when either OK
or Apply is clicked, and your slot must copy the dialog's state into
the application.
<p> There are also several other signals which may be useful:
<ul>
<li> <a href="#cancelButtonPressed">cancelButtonPressed</a>() is emitted when the user clicks Cancel.
<li> <a href="#defaultButtonPressed">defaultButtonPressed</a>() is emitted when the user clicks Defaults;
the slot it is connected to should reset the state of the dialog to
the application defaults.
<li> <a href="#helpButtonPressed">helpButtonPressed</a>() is emitted when the user clicks Help.
<li> <a href="#aboutToShow">aboutToShow</a>() is emitted at the start of <a href="qdialog.html#show">show</a>(); if there is any
chance that the state of the application may change between the
creation of the tab dialog and the time show() is called, you must
connect this signal to a slot that resets the state of the dialog.
<li> <a href="#currentChanged">currentChanged</a>() is emitted when the user selects a page.
</ul>
<p> Each tab is either enabled or disabled at any given time (see
<a href="#setTabEnabled">setTabEnabled</a>()). If a tab is enabled the tab text is drawn in
black and the user can select that tab. If it is disabled the tab
is drawn in a different way and the user cannot select that tab.
Note that even if a tab is disabled, the page can still be visible;
for example, if all of the tabs happen to be disabled.
<p> You can change a tab's label and iconset using <a href="#changeTab">changeTab</a>(). A tab
page can be removed with <a href="#removePage">removePage</a>() and shown with <a href="#showPage">showPage</a>(). The
current page is given by <a href="#currentPage">currentPage</a>().
<p> QTabDialog does not support tabs on the sides or bottom, nor can
you set or retrieve the visible page. If you need more functionality
than QTabDialog provides, consider creating a <a href="qdialog.html">QDialog</a> and using a
<a href="qtabbar.html">QTabBar</a> with QTabWidgets.
<p> Most of the functionality in QTabDialog is provided by a <a href="qtabwidget.html">QTabWidget</a>.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QTabDialog"></a>QTabDialog::QTabDialog ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent = 0, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0, bool&nbsp;modal = FALSE, WFlags&nbsp;f = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a QTabDialog with only an OK button.
The <em>parent</em>, <em>name</em>, <em>modal</em> and <a href="qt.html#WidgetFlags">widget flag</a>, <em>f</em>, arguments
are passed on to the <a href="qdialog.html">QDialog</a> constructor.

<h3 class=fn><a name="~QTabDialog"></a>QTabDialog::~QTabDialog ()
</h3>
Destroys the tab dialog.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="aboutToShow"></a>QTabDialog::aboutToShow ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>

<p> This signal is emitted by <a href="qdialog.html#show">show</a>() when it is time to set the state of
the dialog's contents. The dialog should reflect the current state
of the application when it appears; if there is any possibility that
the state of the application may change between the time you call
<a href="#QTabDialog">QTabDialog::QTabDialog</a>() and <a href="qdialog.html#show">QTabDialog::show</a>(), you should set the
dialog's state in a slot and connect this signal to it.
<p> This applies mainly to QTabDialog objects that are kept around
hidden, rather than being created, shown, and deleted afterwards.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#applyButtonPressed">applyButtonPressed</a>(), <a href="qdialog.html#show">show</a>(), and <a href="#cancelButtonPressed">cancelButtonPressed</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addTab"></a>QTabDialog::addTab ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;child, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;label )
</h3>
Adds another tab and page to the tab view.
<p> The new page is <em>child</em>; the tab's label is <em>label</em>.
Note the difference between the widget name (which you supply to
widget constructors and to <a href="#setTabEnabled">setTabEnabled</a>(), for example) and the tab
label. The name is internal to the program and invariant, whereas
the label is shown on-screen and may vary according to language and
other factors.
<p> If the tab's <em>label</em> contains an ampersand, the letter following
the ampersand is used as an accelerator for the tab, e.g. if the
label is "Bro&wse" then Alt+W becomes an accelerator which will
move the focus to this tab.
<p> If you call <a href="#addTab">addTab</a>() after <a href="qdialog.html#show">show</a>() the screen will flicker and the
user may be confused.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#insertTab">insertTab</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addTab-2"></a>QTabDialog::addTab ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;child, const&nbsp;<a href="qiconset.html">QIconSet</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;iconset, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;label )
</h3> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> This version of the function shows the <em>iconset</em> as well as the <em>label</em> on the tab of <em>child</em>.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addTab-3"></a>QTabDialog::addTab ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;child, <a href="qtab.html">QTab</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;tab )
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> This is a lower-level method for adding tabs, similar to the other
<a href="#addTab">addTab</a>() method. It is useful if you are using <a href="#setTabBar">setTabBar</a>() to set a
<a href="qtabbar.html">QTabBar</a> subclass with an overridden <a href="qtabbar.html#paint">QTabBar::paint</a>() function for a
subclass of <a href="qtab.html">QTab</a>.
<p> The <em>child</em> is the widget to be placed on the new tab page. The <em>tab</em> is the tab to display on the tab page -- normally this shows a
label or an icon that identifies the tab page.
<p> 
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="applyButtonPressed"></a>QTabDialog::applyButtonPressed ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>

<p> This signal is emitted when either the Apply or OK button is clicked.
<p> It should be connected to a slot (or several slots) that change the
application's state according to the state of the dialog.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#cancelButtonPressed">cancelButtonPressed</a>(), <a href="#defaultButtonPressed">defaultButtonPressed</a>(), and <a href="#setApplyButton">setApplyButton</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="cancelButtonPressed"></a>QTabDialog::cancelButtonPressed ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>

<p> This signal is emitted when the Cancel button is clicked. It is
automatically connected to <a href="qdialog.html#reject">QDialog::reject</a>(), which will hide the
dialog.
<p> The Cancel button should not change the application's state at all,
so you should generally not need to connect it to any slot.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#applyButtonPressed">applyButtonPressed</a>(), <a href="#defaultButtonPressed">defaultButtonPressed</a>(), and <a href="#setCancelButton">setCancelButton</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="changeTab"></a>QTabDialog::changeTab ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;w, const&nbsp;<a href="qiconset.html">QIconSet</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;iconset, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;label )
</h3>

is never 0 (but if you try hard enough, it can be).

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="defaultButtonPressed"></a>QTabDialog::defaultButtonPressed ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>

<p> This signal is emitted when the Defaults button is pressed. It
should reset the dialog (but not the application) to the "factory
defaults".
<p> The application's state should not be changed until the user clicks
Apply or OK.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#applyButtonPressed">applyButtonPressed</a>(), <a href="#cancelButtonPressed">cancelButtonPressed</a>(), and <a href="#setDefaultButton">setDefaultButton</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="insertTab"></a>QTabDialog::insertTab ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;child, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;label, int&nbsp;index = -1 )
</h3>
Inserts another tab and page to the tab view.
<p> The new page is <em>child</em>; the tab's label is <em>label</em>.
Note the difference between the widget name (which you supply to
widget constructors and to <a href="#setTabEnabled">setTabEnabled</a>(), for example) and the tab
label. The name is internal to the program and invariant, whereas
the label is shown on-screen and may vary according to language and
other factors.
<p> If the tab's <em>label</em> contains an ampersand, the letter following
the ampersand is used as an accelerator for the tab, e.g. if the
label is "Bro&wse" then Alt+W becomes an accelerator which will
move the focus to this tab.
<p> If <em>index</em> is not specified, the tab is simply added. Otherwise
it is inserted at the specified position.
<p> If you call <a href="#insertTab">insertTab</a>() after <a href="qdialog.html#show">show</a>(), the screen will flicker and the
user may be confused.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#addTab">addTab</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="insertTab-2"></a>QTabDialog::insertTab ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;child, const&nbsp;<a href="qiconset.html">QIconSet</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;iconset, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;label, int&nbsp;index = -1 )

<p> This version of the function shows the <em>iconset</em> as well as the <em>label</em> on the tab of <em>child</em>.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="insertTab-3"></a>QTabDialog::insertTab ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;child, <a href="qtab.html">QTab</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;tab, int&nbsp;index = -1 )
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> This is a lower-level method for inserting tabs, similar to the other
<a href="#insertTab">insertTab</a>() method. It is useful if you are using <a href="#setTabBar">setTabBar</a>() to set a
<a href="qtabbar.html">QTabBar</a> subclass with an overridden <a href="qtabbar.html#paint">QTabBar::paint</a>() function for a
subclass of <a href="qtab.html">QTab</a>.
<p> The <em>child</em> is the widget to be placed on the new tab page. The <em>tab</em> is the tab to display on the tab page -- normally this shows a
label or an icon that identifies the tab page. The <em>index</em> is the
position where this tab page should be inserted.
<p> 
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isTabEnabled"></a>QTabDialog::isTabEnabled ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;w ) const

<p> Returns TRUE if the page with object name <em>name</em> is enabled and
FALSE if it is disabled.
<p> If <em>name</em> is 0 or not the name of any of the pages, <a href="#isTabEnabled">isTabEnabled</a>()
returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setTabEnabled">setTabEnabled</a>() and <a href="qwidget.html#enabled-prop">QWidget::enabled</a>.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="removePage"></a>QTabDialog::removePage ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;w )

</h3>
Adds an Apply button to the dialog. The button's text is set to <em>text</em>.
<p> The Apply button should apply the current settings in the dialog box
to the application while keeping the dialog visible.
<p> When Apply is clicked, the <a href="#applyButtonPressed">applyButtonPressed</a>() signal is emitted.
<p> If <em>text</em> is a
<a href="qstring.html#operator!">null string</a>,
no button is shown.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setCancelButton">setCancelButton</a>(), <a href="#setDefaultButton">setDefaultButton</a>(), and <a href="#applyButtonPressed">applyButtonPressed</a>().
