[FIXED] PYQT Taking a screenshot of a hidden QWidget

Issue

I have a QTabWidget with different tabs. I want to take a screenshot of a hidden tab.

I found out how to create a screenshot of the tab if it's selected now. The problem is that I want to be able to do that even if another tab was selected.

Solution

The solution was very simple in the end, I hope it would help someone if he needs to.

To capture a screenshot of a widget you have in your application, even if it's not currently visible. For example if you have a number of tabs in your QTabWidget:

# tabs_hash is a dictionary of the widgets we have in the QTabWidget,
# or any widget we have in the application we want to print
for name in tabs_hash:
    file = f'{name}.jpeg'
    tabs_hash[name].grab().save(file)
