+ \title Tab Dialog Example
+
+ The Tab Dialog example shows how to construct a tab dialog using the
+ QTabWidget class.
+
+ Dialogs provide an efficient way for the application to communicate
+ with the user, but complex dialogs suffer from the problem that they
+ often take up too much screen area. By using a number of tabs in a
+ dialog, information can be split into different categories, while
+ remaining accessible.
+
+ \image tabdialog-example.png
+
+ The Tab Dialog example consists of a single \c TabDialog class that
+ provides three tabs, each containing information about a particular
+ file, and two standard push buttons that are used to accept or reject
+ the contents of the dialog.
+
+ \section1 TabDialog Class Definition
+
+ The \c TabDialog class is a subclass of QDialog that displays a
+ QTabWidget and two standard dialog buttons. The class definition
+ only contain the class constructor and a private data member for
+ the QTabWidget:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.h 3
+
+ In the example, the widget will be used as a top-level window, but
+ we define the constructor so that it can take a parent widget. This
+ allows the dialog to be centered on top of an application's main
+ window.
+
+ \section1 TabDialog Class Implementation
+
+ The constructor calls the QDialog constructor and creates a QFileInfo
+ object for the specified filename.
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.cpp 0
+
+ The tab widget is populated with three custom widgets that each
+ contain information about the file. We construct each of these
+ without a parent widget because the tab widget will reparent
+ them as they are added to it.
+
+ We create two standard push buttons, and connect each of them to
+ the appropriate slots in the dialog:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.cpp 1
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.cpp 3
+
+ We arrange the tab widget above the buttons in the dialog:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.cpp 4
+
+ Finally, we set the dialog's title:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.cpp 5
+
+ Each of the tabs are subclassed from QWidget, and only provide
+ constructors.
+
+ \section1 GeneralTab Class Definition
+
+ The GeneralTab widget definition is simple because we are only interested
+ in displaying the contents of a widget within a tab:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.h 0
+
+ \section1 GeneralTab Class Implementation
+
+ The GeneralTab widget simply displays some information about the file
+ passed by the TabDialog. Various widgets for this purpose, and these
+ are arranged within a vertical layout:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.cpp 6
+
+ \section1 PermissionsTab Class Definition
+
+ Like the GeneralTab, the PermissionsTab is just used as a placeholder
+ widget for its children:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.h 1
+
+ \section1 PermissionsTab Class Implementation
+
+ The PermissionsTab shows information about the file's access information,
+ displaying details of the file permissions and owner in widgets that are
+ arranged in nested layouts:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.cpp 7
+
+ \section1 ApplicationsTab Class Definition
+
+ The ApplicationsTab is another placeholder widget that is mostly
+ cosmetic:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.h 2
+
+ \section1 ApplicationsTab Class Implementation
+
+ The ApplicationsTab does not show any useful information, but could be
+ used as a template for a more complicated example:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/tabdialog/tabdialog.cpp 8
