Detailed Description

QStackedWidget can be used to create a user interface similar to the one provided by QTabWidget . It is a convenience layout widget built on top of the QStackedLayout class.

Like QStackedLayout , QStackedWidget can be constructed and populated with a number of child widgets (“pages”):

firstPageWidget =  QWidget()
secondPageWidget =  QWidget()
thirdPageWidget =  QWidget()

stackedWidget =  QStackedWidget()
stackedWidget.addWidget(firstPageWidget)
stackedWidget.addWidget(secondPageWidget)
stackedWidget.addWidget(thirdPageWidget)

layout =  QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(stackedWidget)
setLayout(layout)

QStackedWidget provides no intrinsic means for the user to switch page. This is typically done through a QComboBox or a QListWidget that stores the titles of the QStackedWidget ‘s pages. For example:

pageComboBox = QComboBox()
pageComboBox.addItem(tr("Page 1"))
pageComboBox.addItem(tr("Page 2"))
pageComboBox.addItem(tr("Page 3"))
connect(pageComboBox, SIGNAL("activated(int)"),
        stackedWidget, SLOT("setCurrentIndex(int)"))

When populating a stacked widget, the widgets are added to an internal list. The indexOf() function returns the index of a widget in that list. The widgets can either be added to the end of the list using the addWidget() function, or inserted at a given index using the insertWidget() function. The removeWidget() function removes a widget from the stacked widget. The number of widgets contained in the stacked widget can be obtained using the count() function.

The widget() function returns the widget at a given index position. The index of the widget that is shown on screen is given by currentIndex() and can be changed using setCurrentIndex() . In a similar manner, the currently shown widget can be retrieved using the currentWidget() function, and altered using the setCurrentWidget() function.

Whenever the current widget in the stacked widget changes or a widget is removed from the stacked widget, the currentChanged() and widgetRemoved() signals are emitted respectively.

addWidget() insertWidget()

PySide2.QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.addWidget(w)

Parameters

w – QWidget

Return type

int

Appends the given widget to the QStackedWidget and returns the index position. Ownership of widget is passed on to the QStackedWidget .

If the QStackedWidget is empty before this function is called, widget becomes the current widget.

Parameters

arg__1 – int

PySide2.QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.currentIndex()

Return type

int

See also

setCurrentIndex()

PySide2.QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.currentWidget()

Return type

QWidget

Returns the current widget, or 0 if there are no child widgets.

See also

currentIndex() setCurrentWidget()

PySide2.QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.indexOf(arg__1)

Parameters

arg__1 – QWidget

Return type

int

Returns the index of the given widget , or -1 if the given widget is not a child of the QStackedWidget .

See also

currentIndex() widget()

PySide2.QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.insertWidget(index, w)

Parameters

• index – int

• w – QWidget

Return type

int

Inserts the given widget at the given index in the QStackedWidget . Ownership of widget is passed on to the QStackedWidget . If index is out of range, the widget is appended (in which case it is the actual index of the widget that is returned).

If the QStackedWidget was empty before this function is called, the given widget becomes the current widget.

Inserting a new widget at an index less than or equal to the current index will increment the current index, but keep the current widget.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.removeWidget(w)

Parameters

w – QWidget

Removes widget from the QStackedWidget . i.e., widget is not deleted but simply removed from the stacked layout, causing it to be hidden.

Note

Parent object and parent widget of widget will remain the QStackedWidget . If the application wants to reuse the removed widget , then it is recommended to re-parent it.
