I'm trying to dynamically add spinboxes but I need them to be on a different tab which I have created in the designer. Is it possible for me to add them to a tab instead of the main window?
QSpinBox *spin[10];
for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)
{
spin[i] = new QSpinBox(this);
spin[i]->setValue(i);
spin[i]->setGeometry(QRect(QPoint(100,100),QSize(50,50))); //todo: change position
spin[i]->show();
}
When you create the QSpinBox, use the tab as the parent.
In your example you are using this, which I'm going to assume is the widget you've designed in the designer.
As an example, if you had an empty widget in the designer and dragged a QTabWidget onto it, it will create a QTabWidget called tabWidget. By default it has two tabs (which are QWidgets) called tab and tab_2. Also, by default, the designer creates a member variable in your class called ui which represents your widget.
Therefore, to add a QSpinBox to the tab, in code, you would do the following:
QSpinBox* spinBox = new QSpinBox(ui->tab);
This has set the parent of the spin box to ui->tab instead of this.
QTabWidget?
