[PyQt] Strange thing about tabbar.. Help me to solve..

[Jebagnana Das]

Hello all,

I just started learning pyqt and it's been nice.. When i'm experimenting
with the tabbar i encountered this.. As a minimal example i want to show a
button in tab1 and a label in tab2.. Here's what i did

from PyQt4 import QtGui
class Ui_TabWidget(QtGui.QTabWidget):
    def __init__(self,parent=None):
        QtGui.QTabWidget.__init__(self,parent)

        self.setObjectName("TabWidget")
        self.resize(400, 300)
        self.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("TabWidget",
"TabWidget", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

        #Creating the tabbar
        self.tabBar=QtGui.QTabBar(self)

        #Adding the first tab
        self.tabBar.addTab("tab1")
        self.tabBar.setTabText(0,"TAB1")

        #The widget intended for tab1
        self.widgetforTab1=QtGui.QWidget()
        self.addTab(self.widgetforTab1,"")
        self.buttonForTab1=QtGui.QPushButton(self.widgetforTab1)
        self.buttonForTab1.setText("Button in Tab1")

        #Adding the second Tab
        self.tabBar.addTab("tab2")
        self.tabBar.setTabText(1,"TAB2")

        #The widget intended for tab2
        self.widgetForTab2=QtGui.QWidget()
        self.addTab(self.widgetForTab2,"")
        self.labelForTab2=QtGui.QLabel(self.widgetForTab2)
        self.labelForTab2.setText("Label in Tab2")

        #Adding the tabbar to the tabwidget
        self.setTabBar(self.tabBar)

        self.tabBar.setMovable(True)
        self.setCurrentIndex(0)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ui = Ui_TabWidget()
    ui.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

In the above program the widget intended for tab1 and tab2 functioned well.
Anyhow i can't see a connection between the widget and the tabbar.. The
tabbar tab is created independently and so the tabwidget tab. Both have tab
titles the one given for tabbar alone is shown.. But if i set the index as o
the first tab is shown along with widgetForTab1..

In my second program the lack of coupling between the widget and tabbar is
the cause for the problem..

from PyQt4 import QtGui
class Ui_TabWidget(QtGui.QTabWidget):
    def __init__(self,parent=None):
        QtGui.QTabWidget.__init__(self,parent)

        self.setObjectName("TabWidget")
        self.resize(400, 300)
        self.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("TabWidget",
"TabWidget", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

        #Creating the tabbar
        self.tabBar=QtGui.QTabBar(self)

        #Adding the first tab
        self.tabBar.addTab("tab1")
        self.tabBar.setTabText(0,"TAB1")

        #Adding the second Tab
        self.tabBar.addTab("tab2")
        self.tabBar.setTabText(1,"TAB2")

        self.tabBar.setMovable(True)
        #Adding the tabbar to the tabwidget
        self.setTabBar(self.tabBar)

        #The widget intended for tab1
        self.widgetforTab1=QtGui.QWidget()
        self.addTab(self.widgetforTab1,"")
        self.buttonForTab1=QtGui.QPushButton(self.widgetforTab1)
        self.buttonForTab1.setText("Button in Tab1")

        #The widget intended for tab2
        self.widgetForTab2=QtGui.QWidget()
        self.addTab(self.widgetForTab2,"")
        self.labelForTab2=QtGui.QLabel(self.widgetForTab2)
        self.labelForTab2.setText("Label in Tab2")

        self.setCurrentIndex(0)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ui = Ui_TabWidget()
    ui.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

The output for the second program was horrible.. I got four with first
two tabs with no tab text and the tabs had Button in Tab1,Label in
Tab2,Label in Tab2 and Label in Tab2 respectively.. Can you tell me why
this is happening??? What should i do to solve this problem???
