I have a QTabWidget with multiple tabs. I want to disble the tabwidget itself so that the user cannot change the current tab, but the contents of the current tab have to stay enabled. How can I achive this in Qt?

If I disable the entire QTabWidget, the contents of the current tab will get disabled as well, which I don't want.

I also tried to disable all but the current tab, but this only disables the other tabs' contents. The other tabs themselves can still be opened.

You might try to override the QTabWidget::changeEvent() function and ignore events? – vahancho
thanks for the answer, but I found a solution myself after looking into the docs of QTabWidget and how it works – Zciurus-Alt-Del

I did some more research and found a solution, what I want is to disable the tabBar of my QTabWidget, like this:

ui->mytabWidget->tabBar()->setEnabled(false);
