Tab bar should be scrollable with horizontal scroll gesture on touchpad/mouse #510

Closed dzek69 closed 3 months ago

When I hover the tab bar like that: image

I'd be great to be able to scroll it using touchpad gesture of horizontal scroll or using mouse that has horizontal scroll feature.

Personally I think it'd allow me to find the right tab much faster than the dropdown arrow on the right of the tabs.

Thanks in advance!

Again probably something the githubuser0xFFFF/Qt-Advanced-Docking-System would need to implement.

Looks like the maintainer of the library is not willing to address it even though it looks like it was implemented at one time.

There are hooks in the library to override some of the controls so if I have some time, I might try custom controls and implement it that way.

It is sad that maintainer does not want this feature. I'd be cool if you could still implement it, but I understand it might be not possible.

I took a shot at it yesterday and still no luck. It's odd because CDockAreaTabBar is a QScrollArea which by default should be scrollable. As noted in the issue something else seems to be handling the QWheelEvents and not letting them propagate to the CDockAreaTabBar. There's also a CDockAreaTitleBar in the mix. I'm no Qt expert so I can't really guess as to any good solutions. 🤷

Looks like this might have been fixed in https://github.com/githubuser0xFFFF/Qt-Advanced-Docking-System/issues/654 but I need to pull in latest changes from there and test.

Yay, I can't wait! âš¡
