How do you close a QTabWidget? I have the code but when I click on the close button nothing happens.

#include "mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
{
    tab = new tabwidget();
    setCentralWidget(tab);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
}
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
#include "tabwidget.h"

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

    public:
        MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
        ~MainWindow();

    private:
        tabwidget *tab;
};

#endif
#include "tabwidget.h"

tabwidget::tabwidget()
{
    setTabsClosable(true);

    t1 = new QTextEdit();
    addTab(t1, "1");
    t2 = new QTextEdit();
    addTab(t2, "2");
    t3 = new QTextEdit();
    addTab(t3, "3");
    t4 = new QTextEdit();
    addTab(t4, "4");
    t5 = new QTextEdit();
    addTab(t5, "5");
}
#ifndef TABWIDGET_H
#define TABWIDGET_H

#include <QTabWidget>
#include <QTextEdit>

class tabwidget : public QTabWidget
{
    public:
        tabwidget();

    private:
        QTextEdit *t1;
        QTextEdit *t2;
        QTextEdit *t3;
        QTextEdit *t4;
        QTextEdit *t5;
};

#endif

I think you need to connect

void tabCloseRequested ( int index )

with your slot. In which you should call

void removeTab ( int index )
