I am trying to write little application for diagnostic. Application should work in tray and have options to change settings from QDialog.
With this code, I can run dialog from btn (in main window) and from Dial (from QMenu). And if program not in tray, everything works fine, but if it's in tray, program finishes. What's way to solve this problem?
I think you need to call the show function when calling the dialog window.
def dial_func(self):
self.show()
text, ok = QtWidgets.QInputDialog.getText(
self, 'Input dialog', 'Enter your name')
if ok:
print('simple text', text)
This solution will solve your issue.

I want to create an application with a system tray icon. This app should detect the hotkey and react to it, even if the app is not focused (icon tray).
Example: I want to show the window, then I press Alt + X. The window is showing.
I tried using some global hotkey libraries but whenever the window is showing by hotkey, it freezes. The Show option in my QMenu still working.
I'm new to programming, thanks!
Here is my code:

I want to implement behaviour of a popup-window exactly like default volume controller in windows 10. One click on icon, window opens or closes; if window is opened, clicking outside it will close the window. How can i implement this?
Before, i found that it is possible for the widget to override the methods for pressing and releasing the mouse keys, but here it was not found, or it was poorly searched. Help me please.

If you want to toggle visibility then you must use the setVisible() and isVisible() methods:

central_widget = QWidget()
self.setCentralWidget(central_widget)
grid_layout = QGridLayout(central_widget)
grid_layout.addWidget(QLabel("Application, which can minimize to tray"), 0, 0)
self.tray_icon = QSystemTrayIcon(self)
self.tray_icon.setIcon(self.style().standardIcon(QStyle.SP_ComputerIcon))
self.tray_icon.activated.connect(self.trigger)
self.tray_icon.show()
self.setGeometry(
QStyle.alignedRect(
Qt.LeftToRight,
Qt.AlignBottom | Qt.AlignRight,
self.window().size(),
QApplication.desktop().availableGeometry(),
)
)
def trigger(self, reason):

I'm trying to write a Python program using PyQt5 that will display a window in each iteration of the for loop. I would like to close after incrementing and displaying the next window. However, I do not know how to stop the loop every iteration and at the moment I am getting 6 windows at once.

# Create a button in the window
self.button = QPushButton('Show text', self)
self.button.move(20, 80)
# connect button to function on_click
self.button.clicked.connect(lambda: self.on_clickX())

def test(self):
for x in range(6):
w = Window2()
As soon as you run the for cycle, all the code of the initialization will be executed, which includes the show() call you used at the end of initPopup().
A simple solution is to create a new signal that is emitted whenever you hide a window, and connect that signal to a function that creates a new one until it reaches the maximum number.
main.py:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget, QApplication, QPushButton
from alert import Window2
class SG(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
self.alerts = []
def initUI(self):
self.resize(300, 150)
self.setWindowTitle('TEST')
self.resultsGen = QPushButton('TEST', self)
self.resultsGen.clicked.connect(self.nextAlert)
self.show()
def nextAlert(self):
if len(self.alerts) >= 6:
return
alert = Window2()
self.alerts.append(alert)
alert.setWindowTitle('Window {}'.format(len(self.alerts)))
alert.closed.connect(self.nextAlert)
alert.show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
sg = SG()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
alert.py:
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
class Window2(QMainWindow):
closed = pyqtSignal()
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initPopup()
def initPopup(self):
self.resize(500, 500)
self.central_widget = QWidget()
self.setCentralWidget(self.central_widget)
lay = QVBoxLayout(self.central_widget)
label = QLabel(self)
pixmap = QPixmap('cropped/8.png')
label.setPixmap(pixmap)
self.resize(pixmap.width(), pixmap.height())
lay.addWidget(label)
self.textbox = QLineEdit(self)
lay.addWidget(self.textbox)
# Create a button in the window
self.button = QPushButton('Show text', self)
lay.addWidget(self.button)
# connect button to function on_click
self.button.clicked.connect(lambda: self.on_clickX())
self.show()
#pyqtSlot()
def on_clickX(self):
textboxValue = self.textbox.text()
print(textboxValue)
self.textbox.setText("")
self.hide()
self.closed.emit()
Just note that with this very simplified example the user might click on the button of the "SG" widget even if an "alert" window is visibile. You might prefer to use a QDialog instead of a QMainWindow and make the main widget a parent of that dialog.
main.py:
class SG(QWidget):
# ...
def nextAlert(self):
if len(self.alerts) >= 6:
return
alert = Window2(self)
# ...
alert.py:
class Window2(QDialog):
closed = pyqtSignal()
def __init__(self, parent):
super().__init__()
self.initPopup()
def initPopup(self):
self.resize(500, 500)
# a QDialog doesn't need a central widget
lay = QVBoxLayout(self)
# ...
Also, if an alert window is closed using the "X" button the new one will not be shown automatically. To avoid that, you can implement the "closeEvent" and ignore the event, so that the user will not be able to close the window until the button is clicked. As QDialogs can close themself when pressing the escape key, I'm also ignoring that situation.
alert.py:
class Window2(QMainWindow):
# ...
def closeEvent(self, event):
event.ignore()
def keyPressEvent(self, event):
if event.key() != Qt.Key_Escape:
super().keyPressEvent(event)
One day old in terms of experience with PyQT, I followed sample code HERE to do this, but I am clueless as to how I could separate the start download part from the start GUI part, so that I can instead start that when I press the OK (startBtn)button. Also, know the command I do doesn't do anything but give you an error, but I know that works.
Any help appreciated!

2 notes:
If you also know how to disable the OK button when you press it, until the process is finished, then I'd love to know.
Not all imports are used, but I can clean that later. PyCharm show which is used and not. Cleanup is for later.
To do what you ask you have to have some considerations:
youtube-dl requires parameters, like the url, for this I have placed a QLineEdit.
To know when the process starts and ends, we use the signal: stateChanged(newState)

Hi everyone.
I am making a GUI application using python3.4, PyQt5 in windows 7.
Application is very sample. User clicks a main window's button, information dialog pops up. And when a user clicks information dialog's close button (window's X button), system shows confirm message. This is all.
Here's my code.
# coding: utf-8
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QPushButton, QDialog, QLabel
class mainClass(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
openDlgBtn = QPushButton("openDlg", self)
openDlgBtn.clicked.connect(self.openChildDialog)
openDlgBtn.move(50, 50)
self.setGeometry(100, 100, 200, 200)
self.show()
def openChildDialog(self):
childDlg = QDialog(self)
childDlgLabel = QLabel("Child dialog", childDlg)
childDlg.resize(100, 100)
childDlg.show()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
mc = mainClass()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Result screen shot is...
In this situation, I've added these code in mainClass class.
def closeEvent(self, event):
print("X is clicked")
This code works only when the main window is closed. But what I want is closeEvent function works when childDlg is to closed. Not main window.
What should I do?
You have added, the method closeEvent in the class mainClass.
So you have reimplemented the method closeEvent of your QMainwindow and not the method closeEvent of your childDlg. To do it, you have to subclass your chilDlg like this:
# coding: utf-8
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QPushButton, QDialog, QLabel

openDlgBtn = QPushButton("openDlg", self)
openDlgBtn.clicked.connect(self.openChildDialog)
openDlgBtn.move(50, 50)
self.setGeometry(100, 100, 200, 200)
self.show()
def openChildDialog(self):
childDlg = ChildDlg(self)
childDlgLabel = QLabel("Child dialog", childDlg)
childDlg.resize(100, 100)
childDlg.show()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

sys.exit(app.exec_())

self.show()
def openChildDialog(self):
childDlg = QDialog(self)
childDlgLabel = QLabel("Child dialog", childDlg)
childDlg.closeEvent = self.CloseEvent
childDlg.resize(100, 100)
