I'm trying to make a GUI that, once you press a button a scrollArea would dynamically get updated. I tried using QThread to not lock the GUI and to show the user the scrollArea as it gets populated with elements.
I made a thread worker class where inside a loop I'm creating the elements for the scrollArea.The elements are put on a QVBoxLayout and I'm trying to pass that layout to my GUI scrollArea using a signal of type QObject.
I'm receiving this error: QObject::setParent: Cannot set parent, new parent is in a different thread
I don't know what to do to solve this

label = QtWidgets.QLabel()

I've had problems with creating PyQt5 objects in threads in the past, and one option for you would be to use a timer instead.
class Ui_MainWindow(object):
def __init__(self):
self.timer = QtCore.QBasicTimer()
self.timer.start(250, self)
self.i = 0
def timerEvent(self, event):
if self.i < 2500:
self.i+=1
top_layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
group_box = QtWidgets.QGroupBox()
group_box.setTitle('box {0}'.format(i))
label = QtWidgets.QLabel()
label.setText('label {0}'.format(i))
layout = QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout(group_box)
layout.addWidget(label)
top_layout.addWidget(group_box)
self.my_signal.emit(top_layout)
def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
...
This way you will interrupt the main loop once every 250msec to update one loop iteration at a time and you will not freeze up the GUI.

I have created a GUI with PyQt5. I have total three windows. first window has one push button (**btn_OpenSecondWIndow**) which opens a second window. second window has one push button (**btn_OpenCalendar**) which opens third (Calendar) window. user picks a date from there and select a button (**btn_selecteddate**) on third window, I want to display that selection in the label (label_Date) in the second window.
Snippet to get the flow
Now I'm at this point where the first window works just fine and the second window opens BUT pushbuttons doesn't work.
The button in the second window does nothing when the window is opened from the first one but when the class "SecondWindow" is called by its own and not from the first window, it works.
here is the code:
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from FirstWindow import Ui_FirstWindow
from SecondWindow import Ui_SecondWindow
from Calendar import Ui_CalendarWindow
class Calendar(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_CalendarWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
class FirstWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_FirstWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(FirstWindow,self).__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
self.btn_OpenSecondWIndow.clicked.connect(self.open_SecondWindow)
def open_SecondWindow(self):
self.window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
self.ui = SecondWindow()
self.ui.setupUi(self.window)
self.window.show()
self.setEnabled(False)
self.window.setEnabled(True)
class SecondWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_SecondWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(SecondWindow, self).__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
self.btn_OpenCalendar.clicked.connect(self.Open_Calendar)
def Open_Calendar(self):
self.window = Calendar()
self.window.setupUi(self.window)
self.window.show()
self.window.btn_Selecteddate.clicked.connect(self.PickedDate)
def PickedDate(self):
self.selecteddate = self.window.CalendarBox.selectedDate()
self.label_Date.setText(self.selecteddate.toString('MMM')+'-'+self.selecteddate.toString('yyyy'))
self.window.hide()
if __name__ == "__main__":

window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Thanks in Advance. :)
In FirstWindow.open_SecondWindow you don't need to create a separate QMainWindow object for the second window. SecondWindow() already returns a QMainWindow object with the proper UI set up and a slot connected to btn_OpenCalendar for opening the calendar window. Therefore it is sufficient to do something like:
def open_SecondWindow(self):
self.window = SecondWindow()
self.window.show()
self.setEnabled(False)
self.window.setEnabled(True)
I have the QSplitter widget in my Qt5 GUI, and there are two child widgets added to that splitter. and there is a QPushButton widget, when that button is pushed second child disappears and when again that button is pushed that child widget appears. but I want like expanding and collapsing of that child widget. but I have no idea how to animate the event when 'setSizes()' is called on the splitter widget.
can anybody provide me the code for that in pyqt5?
Here is my code
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
class Ui_MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
MainWindow.resize(400, 300)
self.centralWidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow)
self.centralWidget.setObjectName("centralWidget")
self.verticalLayout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self.centralWidget)
self.verticalLayout.setContentsMargins(11, 11, 11, 11)
self.verticalLayout.setSpacing(6)
self.verticalLayout.setObjectName("verticalLayout")
self.pushButton = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralWidget)
self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.splitter_resize)
self.pushButton.setCheckable(True)
self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton)
self.horizontalLayout = QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout()
self.horizontalLayout.setSpacing(6)
self.horizontalLayout.setObjectName("horizontalLayout")
self.pushButton_2 = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralWidget)
self.pushButton_2.setObjectName("pushButton_2")
self.pushButton_3 = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralWidget)
self.pushButton_3.setObjectName("pushButton_3")
self.splitter = QtWidgets.QSplitter()
self.splitter.setOrientation(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal)
self.splitter.addWidget(self.pushButton_2)
self.splitter.addWidget(self.pushButton_3)
self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.splitter)
self.verticalLayout.addLayout(self.horizontalLayout)

self.splitter.setSizes([16777215, 0])
self.pushButton.setChecked = False
else:
self.splitter.setSizes([16777215, 16777215])
self.pushButton.setChecked = True
def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
_translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate
MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow"))
self.pushButton.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "PushButton"))
self.pushButton_2.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "PushButton"))

You can use QVariantAnimation:

"Press me", checkable=True, toggled=self.onToggled
)
left_button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Left")
right_button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Right")
sp = right_button.sizePolicy()
sp.setHorizontalPolicy(QtWidgets.QSizePolicy.Ignored)
right_button.setSizePolicy(sp)
self.m_splitter = QtWidgets.QSplitter(orientation=QtCore.Qt.Horizontal)
self.m_splitter.addWidget(left_button)
self.m_splitter.addWidget(right_button)
widget = QtWidgets.QWidget()
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
lay = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(widget)
lay.addWidget(button)
lay.addWidget(self.m_splitter)
self.m_animation = QtCore.QVariantAnimation(
self,
startValue=MAX_SIZE,
endValue=MIN_SIZE,
valueChanged=self.onValueChanged,
duration=1000,
easingCurve=QtCore.QEasingCurve.InOutCubic,
)
#QtCore.pyqtSlot(bool)
def onToggled(self, checked):
self.m_animation.setDirection(
QtCore.QAbstractAnimation.Forward
if checked
else QtCore.QAbstractAnimation.Backward
)
self.m_animation.start()
#QtCore.pyqtSlot(QtCore.QVariant)
def onValueChanged(self, value):
s = [MAX_SIZE, value]
self.m_splitter.setSizes(s)

Waiting forward for your help!
In your code there are 3 errors:
You must call the setupUI function first since the button is created here and then connect that button to the slot.
When the button is connected to the slot you just have to pass the slot name without parenthesis.
Change statusbar() to statusBar().
Code:
# ...
class MyMainWindow(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MyMainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
qApp.installEventFilter(self)
self.setupUi(self)
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.clickButton)
self.show()
# ...
def clickButton(self):
sender = self.sender()
self.statusBar().showMessage(sender.text() + ' was pressed')
# ...
it work for me
call the setupUI function first
self.setupUi(self)
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.click_button)

The above runs without any errors, but the following code fails to add any list item (custom widget), the label_status gets correctly populated with retrieved data - what am I missing here?
self.ui.label_status.setText(json_data['entries'][0]['title'])
item = QtWidgets.QListWidgetItem(self.ui.listWidget)
item_widget = progress.Ui_Form("It works")
item.setSizeHint(item_widget.sizeHint())
self.ui.listWidget.addItem(item)
self.ui.listWidget.setItemWidget(item,item_widget)
You should only ever update GUI elements from within the main GUI thread.
The worker thread should emit a signal when it's done, or perhaps do so periodically so that pending GUI events can be processed (i.e. by calling qApp.processEvents()).
If the worker thread generates data, use a Queue so that it can be accessed safely from the main thread.
UPDATE:
Here is a basic example (python3 only) of how to use QThread with a worker object. All communication between the GUI thread and the worker thread is done using signals and slots (see "Signals and Slots Across Threads" in the Qt docs for more on this).
