I have a little problem, I am using PyQt to make UI in Maya. Problem is that my current UI has hotkeys, but unless you click on the window, you can't use it because the window of UI is not selected(running on the back when you are doing things in Maya). UI being active all the time is also inconvenient because some hotkeys are the same as Maya's. So I was wondering is there any way to select a window without clicking on it, just mouse hover. Thank you!

I want to make a click through window. A window which I click but the click pass to the window below it.
I've found this two solutions for windows:
How to make click-through windows PyQt
I have a form that can "click through", i.e. direct clicks to the window below. How can I undo my changes after the event?
But I want it to work in linux. I study the xlib mechanisms but cannot understand how the window stack works. Actually I can get all the windows with XQueryTree() and found the ones under my window. But I don't know witch one are above.
im having some problems to send to the front a GTK window.
I have a main window (window_root) with a button that launches another window (window_programs).
with this commands:
window_root.hide()
window_programs.show()
then, in window_programs, i have a button that displays another window (window_list) with the command:
window_list.show()
window_list is modal.
The problem was that window_list appeared at the back of window_programs.
so i did some research and i found window_list.show().
The problems is that window_list appears at the front, but when i click it window_programs comes to the front!
it makes some time that i'm looking for the solution, any help will be appreciated!
You are looking for the transient-for property of the modal window (which should be available in Glade). If the modal window needs to be transient to either of the two other windows, then you need to use gtk_window_set_transient_for() as needed since the modal can only be transient for one window at a time.
A part of a small project I am working on involves 'calibrating' the coordinates of the screen of which to take a screen capture of.
By the 'screen', I refer to the entire desktop, not my GUI window.
The coordinates are calibrated when a QDialog window appears (which I've subclassed).
The user is prompted to click several locations on the screen.
I need the program to record the locations of all mouse clicks occuring anywhere on the screen - ones that don't natively trigger a QDialog mouseEvent, since they are outside this window.
Obviously overwriting the mouseEvent method does not work, since the QDialog doesn't recieve the clicks.
How can I capture global mouse clicks, so that an event is triggered and sent to the QDialog when any part of the screen is clicked?
(I'd prefer a Qt based solution, but am open to other libraries if need be).
Thanks!
There are some cross-platform examples of how to do this with http://pypi.python.org/pypi/autopy/0.51
I've assumed this isn't possible and am instead using pyHook,
letting Qt pump the messages.
I use Qt4 Designer and I want that when I click on the "yes" button, some code will execute. And when I click on the "no", some other code will be execute. How can I do it?
Click on the Edit Signal/Slots tool.
Create a connection for your button. For this, select your button in the designer by pressing on it with the left button of the mouse. Move the mouse to some place in the main window to create a connection with the main window (it is like a red line with a earth connection).
When you release the mouse button, the Configure Connection dialog appears.
In this dialog select a signal in the left text control (the sender), for example, pressed().
Then press edit in the right text control (the receiver). A dialog for the Signals/Slots of MainWindow appears.
In the slot panel add a new slot (green cross). The text slot1() appears. Double click on it to edit the line and write instead the name of your function doit_when_yes_ispressed(). Accept.
Now in the Configure Connection dialog you will see your function in the right text control. Select and Accept.
In the designer now you can see the signal and your function in the widget.
Right-click on your widget
Select "Go to slot..."
Select a signal and click OK
Your custom slot declaration and definition for that signal will be added to *.cpp and *.h files. Its name will be generated automatically.
upd:
Sorry, I didn't notice that the question is about Python & QtDesigner itself, I was thinking of the designer mode in QtCreator IDE. However, this still may be useful for someone who is looking for Qt/C++ info, so I leave the answer.
I am trying to write a simple aplication (a continuously changing label on a window on the upper left side of the screen) and I don't want it to be seen on panel but only on system tray.Because it will run for a long time. How can I do that? Thanks.
PS: I am using python and pyqt on Linux. I tried SplashScreen but when I clicked on the window it disapears. I have a contexmenu on the window, so I must click on it.!

I found the solution. I set the window flag as "Qt.Popup". Now there in no window on the panel.
