The widgets are children of the respective tab page or of a container on that 
page.
What you are seeing with ui-> is that each designer form is processed by a 
code generator (UIC) and it generates all the constructor and value setter 
calls into one setupUi() function (inside a file called ui_formname.h)

If you want to have each tab page separated on the code level, simply design 
each page as its own form (template type Widget), implement their 
functionality in their respective header and source files and add them to the 
tab widget either by widget promotion in designer or by creating their 
instances in the dialog's constructor and adding them to the tab widget there.

Cheers,
Kevin
