How to get currentTabName from QTabWidget on Qt?

Question

QTabWidget has a property called currentTabName.

How can I access the currentTabName by code?

I need to check what tab is selected, but I can't use the tab text (tabText) because it is translatable and may change and I don't want to use the tab index (currentIndex) because the index may change in the future.

I'm using Qt 5.3

As Chris Kawa answered here this is the object name of the current widget.

From code I can get it like this:

QString currentTabName = tabWidget->currentWidget()->objectName();

Note: As the doc suggest make sure to check for nullptr when using tabWidget->currentWidget().
