I have a custom tab widget that set the text to be horizontal on a vertical tab, however, when I implement a style sheet to change the tab once it is selected, I get this:
It should be a uniform box, just like the one here but rotated 90 degrees. I believe that I need a way to change it so that height changes width and width changes height as I define the tab in a stylesheet with a height and width however this stylesheet refers to a normal tab widget, not a custom vertical one.
Feel free to offer any advice on my current code, whether it be about the custom tab widget class or my actual class. I am relatively new to QT
This is all of my code:

opt = QStyleOptionTab()
for i in range(self.count()):
self.initStyleOption(opt, i)
painter.drawControl(QStyle.CE_TabBarTabShape, opt)
painter.save()
s = opt.rect.size()
s.transpose()
r = QtCore.QRect(QtCore.QPoint(), s)
r.moveCenter(opt.rect.center())
opt.rect = r
c = self.tabRect(i).center()
painter.translate(c)
painter.rotate(90)
painter.translate(-c)
painter.drawControl(QStyle.CE_TabBarTabLabel, opt)

CodePudding user response:
You are complicating things.
Translating the sizes just makes it all confusing, because the tab painting follows the size provided by the style (which you forced as 70x100, not 100x70).
Also, forcing the size of the tab is problematic, and since you're using the original (vertical) option for drawing, this will potentially clip (or overflow) the tab text, since you transposed the rectangle, so you should remove the width
and height
properties from the style sheet.
The solution is to minimize the transposition, and use the style option features to properly draw the contents, specifically setting the shape
to a horizontal one so that the label is properly drawn.
class TabBar(QTabBar):
def tabSizeHint(self, index):
hint = super().tabSizeHint(index).transposed()
return QSize(
max(hint.width(), 100),
max(hint.height(), 70)
)
def paintEvent(self, event):
painter = QStylePainter(self)
opt = QStyleOptionTab()
current = self.currentIndex()
for i in range(self.count()):
if i == current:
continue
self.initStyleOption(opt, i)
painter.drawControl(QStyle.CE_TabBarTabShape, opt)
opt.shape = QTabBar.RoundedNorth
painter.drawControl(QStyle.CE_TabBarTabLabel, opt)
self.initStyleOption(opt, current)
painter.drawControl(QStyle.CE_TabBarTabShape, opt)
opt.shape = QTabBar.RoundedNorth
painter.drawControl(QStyle.CE_TabBarTabLabel, opt)
Notes:
- the current tab is always painted above the others;
- learn to use layout managers instead of fixed geometries;
- always provide a minimal reproducible example: 99% of the contents of
gui()
is completely useless for the scope of the question;
