An alternative (maybe more framework oriented) way would be to set the QWizardPage, which comes before the page you want the back button to be disabled in, to be a commit page. Just call this.setCommitPage(true) on a QWizardPage and the next page wont have its back button enabled.

from QWizardPage documentation

void QWizardPage::setCommitPage(bool commitPage) Sets this page to be a commit page if commitPage is true; otherwise, sets it to be a normal page. A commit page is a page that represents an action which cannot be undone by clicking Back or Cancel. A Commit button replaces the Next button on a commit page. Clicking this button simply calls QWizard::next() just like clicking Next does. A page entered directly from a commit page has its Back button disabled. See also isCommitPage().

If you want all the back buttons to be disabled, you could just call it on every page.

Calling

QWizard::button(QWizard::BackButton).hide()

in

QWizard::onCurrentIdChanged(int)

worked for me (in PyQt4).

This effectively hides the back button again on every wizard page, but it achieves the desired effect.

I've looked at Qt's sources and found out that it's possible to hide Back button by creating custom button layout and ommiting Back button in the list:

  QList<QWizard::WizardButton> button_layout;
  button_layout << QWizard::HelpButton << QWizard::Stretch <<
                   QWizard::NextButton << QWizard::CustomButton1 <<
                   QWizard::CancelButton;
  this->setButtonLayout(button_layout);

I hope this will save some time to somebody.

P.S.

AFAIU to avoid using QTimer it is needed to modify QWizard source code. The easies way will be to add a virtual function virtual void buttonsUpdated(); and call it from the end of QWizard's: void QWizardPrivate::_q_updateButtonStates() Then reimplement this buttonsUpdated() in your QWizard sublass and disable Back button there.
