Thats because the C++ setCurrentIndex method is not virtual and hence
cannot be overriden so easily.

Your only options are handling all events yourself (also check wether
QTabWidget has any event filters set) or do your processing based on the
currentChanged() signal instead (i.e. post-processing).
