What i like to achieve is to make a drag and drop UI for my application . Something like what Qt Designer provides. Where you can drag an element and place it in the window.
I have a done some PyQt programming before, but not of this complexity.
can anyone direct me, on how to accomplish this.

I am currently creating a GUI for an application and I want to make it frameless and add the minimize and close buttons myself. What I want to achieve can be seen in this answer:
The window structure I want to achieve
Since the GUI structure that I have in mind is really complex I really need that I have to use Qt Designer. Is there a way to achieve what is done in the answer above in the Qt Designer?
One way to achieve this is to create your application window as usual in Qt Designer, load the .ui file in the python via uic.loadUi and add it to the layout of box.contentWidget() instead of the edit in the linked example.
I am creating a simple application to manage unknown words when learning a new language. The application is written in Python and I am using Tkinter to build the GUI.
As you can see, I am almost done - all I need is a toolstrip with several buttons on it, but it seems that there is no toolstrip widget in Tkinter. How can I overcome the issue?
There is no toolstrip widget when it comes to Tkinter.
You have three options:
1) If you want to continue building your application using Tkinter, you could create a frame at the top of your GUI and add some buttons into it, which would act as an alternative to a toolstrip.
2) You can design your own widget using Tcl, which is definitely a lot of effort for a beginner.
3) You can start from scratch by switching to PyQt which has QToolBar and QMenuBar (depending on whether you want icons or text as buttons in the toolstrip).
I'm using Qt Designer to create UI designs which I'm then converting into python code. Since I'm quite new to Qt I'd like to ask: is there a way I could implement a multi-screen application? I.e. having a next button clicked and getting a new set of options/widgets etc within the same window.
To be honest, I was developing using Kivy, and as slick as that is (especially with multiple screens) it depends on PyGame, which proves to be an enormous portability headache, so I had to switch to something else, and PyQt was the next feasible option (or so it seems).
It's called a QWizard. It is not called a multi screen application, but if you search for wizard instead, you find lots of information.

I'm wrinting a program in Python using PySide as GUI creator but I'm stuck now i want to get a new window in the MDI when user clicks something like 'new' button but I'm not able to figure it out how that can happen so need some help...
Thanks in Advance
Since your question is very light on details, I will just give you some links to a simple example application that probably does a lot of what you want.
It is based on this Qt MDI example:
The PySide code itself can be dowloaded from the PySide Examples Repository.
For more examples like this, see the PySide Examples and Demos.
I am trying to write a custom widget for the Qt Designer using only Python. I was following a couple of tutorials I found online but none of them were working or anything close to what I would call to be a minimum working example.
So my questions are:
What steps are involved to make a a custom widget appear in the Widget Box of Qt Designer?
If you can spare the time: Please provide a minimum working example (like a widget with a label in it saying "A truly minimal working Qt custom widget example").
Or is it maybe not possible at all to include a custom widget using only python?
There are very few examples available on how to make a custom widget in pyqt. I wrote this article with a working example: Making a Custom Widget in PyQt
Here is the answer to your question #3: How do I use promote to in Qt Designer in pyqt4?
I am using PySide and it works the same way. This method works directly with your Python custom widget code. You do not need to write any separate plugin code.
After you have promoted your custom widget, you can right click on it and add your signals with "Change signals/slots..."
I would recommend putting all you widgets in a YourCostumWidgetsPack.UI file, and then when you load this file in Qt Designer, in addition to the UI you are working. It will load all your custom widget information.
I found this article to be your answer: https://doc.qt.io/archives/qq/qq26-pyqtdesigner.html
But, I haven't been able to install it in Qt Designer though :D
