Hiding individual tabs in a tab layout?

[Ravi Jagannadhan]

Hi all, is it possible to hide individual tabs in a tab layout?

It would depend on how the tabs are made, are they made via PySide or cmds?

Alas, they're made via cmds.

In that case, I can think of 2 options.

1. See if there’s another command in cmds you could use to manipulate already-created tabs, I’m not familiar with this part myself so can’t say for sure
2. Alternatively, whatever cmds does it is Qt that is ultimately drawing the tabs, which means you can access them via PySide to perform further manipulation

I suspect there is a method of converting a widget created via cmds to its corresponding Qt widget, from there you can navigate the widget via widget.parent() and widget.children() until you find the QTabWidget or whichever widget is doing the drawing of tabs. If there isn’t such a method, you can navigate from top-down via PySide.QWidgets.QApplication.instance() or by finding the Maya main window.

You can generate a Qt class instance, from a cmds gui widget using wrapInstance from shiboken.

I have used this in the past:

from PySide2.QtWidgets import QMenu

from maya.OpenMayaUI import MQtUtil

from shiboken2 import wrapInstance

from maya import cmds

cmds_menu: str = cmds.menu(label="cmds_menu", parent="MayaWindow").split("|")[-1]

control: "SwigPyObject" = MQtUtil.findControl(str(cmds_menu))

qt_menu: QMenu = wrapInstance(int(control), QMenu)
