## Member Function Documentation

### QTabWidget::QTabWidget ( QWidget * parent, const char * name, Qt::WindowFlags f = 0 )

Use one of the constructors that doesn't take the name argument and then use setObjectName() instead.

### void QTabWidget::changeTab ( QWidget * widget, const QString & label )

Use setTabText() instead.

### void QTabWidget::changeTab ( QWidget * widget, const QIcon & icon, const QString & label )

Use setTabText() and setTabIcon() instead.

### void QTabWidget::currentChanged ( QWidget * widget )`[signal]`

Use currentChanged(int) instead.

### QWidget * QTabWidget::currentPage () const

Use currentWidget() instead.

See also setCurrentPage().

### int QTabWidget::currentPageIndex () const

Use currentIndex() instead.

### void QTabWidget::insertTab ( QWidget * widget, const QString & label, int index = -1 )

Use insertTab(index, widget, label) instead.

### void QTabWidget::insertTab ( QWidget * widget, const QIcon & icon, const QString & label, int index = -1 )

Use insertTab(index, widget, icon, label) instead.

### bool QTabWidget::isTabEnabled ( QWidget * widget ) const

Use isTabEnabled(tabWidget->indexOf(widget)) instead.

### QString QTabWidget::label ( int index ) const

Use tabText() instead.

### int QTabWidget::margin () const

This function is kept only to make old code compile. This functionality is no longer supported by QTabWidget.

See also setMargin(), contentsRect(), and setContentsMargins().

### QWidget * QTabWidget::page ( int index ) const

Use widget() instead.

### void QTabWidget::removePage ( QWidget * widget )`[slot]`

Use removeTab(indexOf(widget)) instead.

### void QTabWidget::removeTabToolTip ( QWidget * widget )

Use setTabToolTip(tabWidget->indexOf(widget), QString()) instead.

### void QTabWidget::selected ( const QString & tabLabel )`[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever a tab is selected (raised), including during the first show().

You can normally use currentChanged() instead.

### void QTabWidget::setCurrentPage ( int index )`[slot]`

Use setCurrentIndex() instead.

See also currentPage().

### void QTabWidget::setMargin ( int margin )

This function is kept only to make old code compile. This functionality is no longer supported by QTabWidget.

See also margin(), contentsRect(), and setContentsMargins().

### void QTabWidget::setTabEnabled ( QWidget * widget, bool b )

Use setTabEnabled(tabWidget->indexOf(widget), b) instead.

### void QTabWidget::setTabIconSet ( QWidget * widget, const QIcon & icon )

Use setTabIcon(tabWidget->indexOf(widget), icon) instead.

See also tabIconSet().

### void QTabWidget::setTabLabel ( QWidget * widget, const QString & label )

Use setTabText(tabWidget->indexOf(widget), label) instead.

See also tabLabel().

### void QTabWidget::setTabToolTip ( QWidget * widget, const QString & tip )

Use setTabToolTip(tabWidget->indexOf(widget), tip) instead.

### void QTabWidget::showPage ( QWidget * widget )`[slot]`

Use setCurrentIndex(indexOf(widget)) instead.

### QIcon QTabWidget::tabIconSet ( QWidget * widget ) const
