[SOLVED] How do I access the QTabBars present in QMdiArea after I set the view to tabbed?

[Pranjal Jain]

I need to put a tooltip for the QTabBars in QMdiArea and set their sizes fixed. How can I do that?

HI and welcome
Seems not to be a easy way to do it
but you can dig out the bar using code

like

QTabBar *Bar=ui->mdiArea->findChild<QTabBar*>();
if (Bar) {
Bar->setTabToolTip(0,"i won");
}

@mrjj : I tried this:

I got the TabBar but I need to set a fixed width to all the tabs in that TabBar. How do I do that?

@Pranjal-Jain
Not sure how one would do that from code directly but you can use stylesheet
setStyleSheet("QTabBar::tab { height: 100px; width: 100px; }");
and control it that way.
