Hmm, I think I should've looked at the actual API docs before replying. All
three QTabWidget, QStackedWidget and QToolBox have setCurrentIndex as  well
as setCurrentWidget. So actually I don't understand what you mean at all,
there's no difference in those three classes.

QToolBox has no such API. The only classes that have items are those
related to model/view, i.e. combobox, table/tree/listwidgets etc.
