PY Qt从QMainWindow打开QDialog

Question

I am working with python code generated using QT Designer. I want to open a new dialogue from a button on my MainWindow. When I use the following code, the dialogue window disappears as soon as it is created. I assume this is because the QDialog object is destroyed when the method hits the return statement. What is the right way to call this dialogue?

def OpenDialogue(self):

    DialogueWindow = QtGui.QDialog()
    my_dialogue = MyDialogue.Ui_Dialog()
    my_dialogue.setupUi(DialogueWindow)
    DialogueWindow.show()

    return

For example, should I instantiate DialogueWindow in the same place that I define MainWindow and pass it through to this method?

The MainWindow constructor is as follows:

class Ui_MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow, object):

    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
        [code]

It is instantiated as follows:

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
MainWindow = QtGui.QMainWindow()
ui = GUI.Ui_MainWindow()
ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
MainWindow.show()
app.exec_()

Answer 1

I will call Ui_MainWindow and Ui_Dialog to the classes generated by Qt Designer through the MainWindow and Dialog template, respectively. Then it is best to create classes that MainWindow and Dialog implement the interfaces. I will call pushButton to the button that you refer, then you must pass the parent to the dialog object.

class Ui_Dialog(object):
    def setupUi(self, Dialog):
        [...]

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
        [...]

class Dialog(QtGui.QDialog, Ui_Dialog):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtGui.QDialog.__init__(self, parent)
        self.setupUi(self)


class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self, parent)
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.openDialog)

    def openDialog(self):
        d = Dialog(self)
        d.show()

Another solution is to use exec_() by opening the window in non-modal mode

def openDialog(self):
    d = Dialog(self)
    d.exec_()

Note: It is not recommended to modify the classes generated by Qt Designer.
