I have done this very recently in PyQt where it is as simple as:

        # If there is only one tab then we don't want to show a tab bar.
        if len(pages) == 1:
            self.tabWidget.tabBar().hide()

It looks like you'd need to derive from QTabWidget in C++ since
tabBar() is a protected function.
