Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QToolBox class provides a column of tabbed widget items.

A toolbox is a widget that displays a column of tabs one above the other, with the current item displayed below the current tab. Every tab has an index position within the column of tabs. A tab’s item is a PySide.QtGui.QWidget .

Each item has an PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.itemText() , an optional PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.itemIcon() , an optional PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.itemToolTip() , and a PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.widget() . The item’s attributes can be changed with PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.setItemText() , PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.setItemIcon() , and PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.setItemToolTip() . Each item can be enabled or disabled individually with PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.setItemEnabled() .

Items are added using PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.addItem() , or inserted at particular positions using PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.insertItem() . The total number of items is given by PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.count() . Items can be deleted with delete, or removed from the toolbox with PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.removeItem() . Combining PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.removeItem() and PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.insertItem() allows you to move items to different positions.

The index of the current item widget is returned by PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.currentIndex() , and set with PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.setCurrentIndex() . The index of a particular item can be found using PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.indexOf() , and the item at a given index is returned by item() .

The PySide.QtGui.QToolBox.currentChanged() signal is emitted when the current item is changed.
