I have a PyQT application with a toolbar, a set of buttons, and a bottom row of additional buttons. I'd like to add a TextEdit underneath the bottom row that the user can hide or show. I would like the TextEdit to extend the bottom portion when being shown but, when the user hides it, I would like that bottom portion removed without affecting the height, width, or sizing of any other of the buttons. Imagine just taking a pair of scissors to the TextEdit section when the user hides it but then gluing it back on when the user wants it back. Is this even possible to do in PyQt? The closest I've found is the implementation below which resizes all the buttons.

Resizing the widget alone is not a valid solution, because it only overrides the geometry set by the layout without notifying the parent widget.
This is also important as you should not resize the widget based on its hint alone when showing the log: if you increase the size of the window while the log is hidden and then show it again, it will not occupy all the available space.
What you need to do is to access the top level window, force its layout to lay out its contents again, and use its hint to for the resize.
def resize_hide(self):
self.window().layout().activate()
self.window().resize(
self.window().width(),
self.window().minimumSizeHint().height()
)
You can set the alignment policy for your top widget:
[...]
self.total_layout.setAlignment(self.app_widgets, Qt.AlignTop)
self.setLayout(self.total_layout)
[...]
The app_widget will not be resized anymore when you hide your text edit.

I use the following code to set a PySide6 app to the minimal possible size. This works fine when increasing the size of the widgets (set - to + in line 37), but not when decreasing it - in effect, the size of the windows does decrease, but it seems to be one step late.
I found a few workarounds, most notably in Qt Layout, resize to minimum after widget size changes, but none of what I tried seems to be working (and I have met other issues with app.processEvents(), which should be avoided anyway).
Edit: In the new code example below, I think the problem is the width of the QPushButton, which is calculated too late.
Interestingly, this width of the QPushButton is solved by the layout.setSizeConstraint(QLayout.SetFixedSize) workaround, but the window width is not.
app.processEvents() works for this example, but I see bad side effects on other signals when using it.
New code example:
from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
from PySide6.QtGui import QPixmap
from PySide6.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QLabel, QLayout, QMainWindow,
QPushButton, QVBoxLayout, QWidget)
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.i = 0
self.button = QPushButton("push me!")
self.button.clicked.connect(self.clicked)
self.label = QLabel()
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(self.button)
layout.addWidget(self.label)
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/21458822/880783
# layout.setSizeConstraint(QLayout.SetFixedSize) # (ineffective)
widget = QWidget()
widget.setLayout(layout)
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint)
self.clicked()
self.show()
def clicked(self):
npix = 500 - 50 * self.i
self.label.setPixmap(QPixmap(npix, npix))
# app.processEvents() # (effective, but discouraged)
self.adjustSize()
self.i += 1
app = QApplication()
win = Window()
app.exec()
Original code example:
import threading
import time
from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
from PySide6.QtGui import QPixmap
from PySide6.QtWidgets import (
QApplication,

#musicamante has posted very helpful comments, which I now turn into an answer.
Basically, this code works great:
from PySide6.QtCore import QMetaObject, Qt, QTimer, Slot
from PySide6.QtGui import QPixmap
from PySide6.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QLabel, QMainWindow, QPushButton,
QVBoxLayout, QWidget)
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.i = 0
self.button = QPushButton("push me!")
self.button.clicked.connect(self.clicked)
self.label = QLabel()
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(self.button)
layout.addWidget(self.label)
widget = QWidget()
widget.setLayout(layout)
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint)
self.clicked()
self.show()
# #Slot()
# def adjustSize(self):
# super().adjustSize()
def clicked(self):
npix = 500 - 50 * self.i
self.label.setPixmap(QPixmap(npix, npix))
self.i += 1
# # As in https://stackoverflow.com/a/23954088/880783 - does not work
# QMetaObject.invokeMethod(self, "adjustSize")
# This works!
QTimer.singleShot(0, self.adjustSize)
app = QApplication()
win = Window()
app.exec()
As one can see, I have also tried the approach put forward https://stackoverflow.com/a/23954088/880783 - without success, however.

Asking for your help to troubleshoot my test script.
I am practicing to make collapsible button with widgets inside.
Script was mainly taken from another question in stackoverflow about collapsible buttons.
So I am trying to put under QTabWidget my class CollpsibleBox(QWidget). Problem is that my CollapsibleBox is acting very weird - buttons are jumping , sometimes it doesn't open/close properly.
I was wondering if it's some mistake in placing correctly my widget under QTabWidget or is there some problem with animation?

The problem is that you are only adding two widgets to the full layout, and the layout will try to place them as better as possible (tipically at the center of the area that is available for each widget, based on its size hints).
You could either set the alignment of the widget for the layout (placing the buttons on top of their available space):
vlay = QVBoxLayout(_ui['content'])
for name in extraDict.keys():
box = CollapsibleBox(name)
vlay.addWidget(box, alignment=Qt.AlignTop)
Or add a stretch to the bottom of the layout:
vlay = QVBoxLayout(_ui['content'])
for name in extraDict.keys():
# ...
vlay.addStretch(1)
which will position all buttons on top of the layout.
As a side note, I'd suggest you to avoid the dictionary logic for the ui, as it might become very confusing and prone to errors. If you really need to do that for some (I hope, very good) reason that's ok, but please avoid it when asking questions: it makes really hard to read your code, and people might end up just ignoring your question at all.

I have my code set up to implement an algorithm to modify an image when my I select it from my pop up dialogue. What I am trying to accomplish is for the image to pop up in a separate window when I click the encrypt button. I can't seem to get anything to pop up in the separate window aside from the window itself. Any help would be appreciated.
You have at least the following errors:
The "hbox" created is being added to the window and not to the QDialog: self.setLayout(hbox), it must be mydialog.setLayout(hbox).
Do not use the same name for 2 different objects as they can cause problems, in your case there are 2 QPushButton assigned to the variable "self.button2".
You try to use the variable "self.label" but never believe it.
Considering the above we can make the following improvements:
Use more descriptive names to easily distinguish their function.
If you are going to have a window that has a different objective, it is better to create a class.
The above avoid the indicated problems, considering the above the solution is:

I've created aQMainWindow with menubar and 4 dockable widgets. First dockwidget contents multipletabs, second is Qpainter widget, third is Matlabplot and fourth is pdf report.
When I run the code shows up like this below.
I want to be like below.
I want to divide screen into four widget automatically whenever it runs at any screen, And I want to have tabs to resize to its content.
Or do you have any better idea of having such widget, you are welcome to come with it.
Update of code
Resize of Qdockwidget brings this post forward. It seems that Qt Qdockwidget resize has been an issue for long time ago. I find it very difficult to program my Qmainwindow with 4 Qdockwidget, which the dock would fit and resize according to its contents, with other words, child widget. and According to Qt documentation, Qdockwidget resizes and respect the size of child Widgets. to get straight to problem, my mainwindow has 4 qdockwidgets, I would like to have them resizable according to contents.
What I have tried and used so far.
I have used following size functions.
self.sizeHint, self.minimumSize(), self.maximumSize() and self.setFixedSize(self.sizeHint()).
I am able to fix the size of contents in first Qdockwidget by using following codes.
self.setFixedSize(self.sizeHint())
Above code is written in the child widgets Class widgets
But that is not enough in order to work it, despite following codes needed to run and effect.
self.first.setMinimumSize(self.first.sizeHint())
self.grid.setMinimumSize(self.grid.sizeHint())
self.third.setMinimumSize(self.third.sizeHint())
self.adjustSize()
self.first.setMinimumSize(self.first.minimumSizeHint())
self.grid.setMinimumSize(self.grid.minimumSizeHint())
self.third.setMinimumSize(self.third.minimumSizeHint())
Noting that still my dockwindow does not resize according to child widgets. Dockwidget expand and increase. One may ask, Qdockwidgets could arrange and control by resizeDocks(). This code line is used and tried, but still does not get the desired behaviour.
I have been looking around and could find some relevant questions.
C++ resize a docked Qt QDockWidget programmatically?
Forcing a QDockWidget to behave like a central widget when it comes to resizing
Create a QDockWidget that resizes to it's contents
Those questions do not solve my problem.
Visualization of my code launch
1- When code runs and display on screen.
2- Desired and wanted display by first run of software.
3- When user tabs between tabwidgets want to resize to its content as image below.
4- The code is given below.

I would appreciate much any help on this.
If floating windows aren't essential to your tool then you can try dropping QDockWidget and using a series of QSplitter instead. This way you can have your nice box layout while having tabs to resize horizontally and vertically, and still resizing properly when the tool as a whole resizes.
My example is in PySide2, but you'll probably need to do very minor tweaks to PyQt5 (probably just the import names):
from PySide2 import QtCore
from PySide2 import QtGui
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
class SubWindow(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, label, parent=None):
super(SubWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(label, parent=self)
self.label.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
self.label.setStyleSheet("QLabel {font-size:40px;}")
self.main_layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.label)
self.setLayout(self.main_layout)
class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.sub_win_1 = SubWindow("1", parent=self)
self.sub_win_2 = SubWindow("2", parent=self)
self.sub_win_3 = SubWindow("3", parent=self)
self.sub_win_4 = SubWindow("4", parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_1 = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal, parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_1.addWidget(self.sub_win_1)
self.sub_splitter_1.addWidget(self.sub_win_2)
self.sub_splitter_2 = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal, parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_2.addWidget(self.sub_win_3)
self.sub_splitter_2.addWidget(self.sub_win_4)
self.splitter = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Vertical, parent=self)
self.splitter.addWidget(self.sub_splitter_1)
self.splitter.addWidget(self.sub_splitter_2)
self.main_layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.splitter)
self.setLayout(self.main_layout)
self.setWindowTitle("Layout example")
self.resize(500, 500)
inst = MainWindow()
inst.show()
This gives you something like this:
Right now the top/bottom horizontal splitters function separately, but you can easily tie them together with an event.
Hope that helps!
I am trying to create a pop-up window that gets popped-up from pressing on a QPushButton. However, I have a separate QPushButton class that I would like to use. I can't seem to get it working. Anything I am doing wrong?

So, I am trying to keep the QPushButton classes separate, so that I can customize them. I would like to keep it like that, especially to keep it clean and readable.
First off - please read: How to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. I had a lot of work minimizing your code, which wasted a good amount of my time.
Nonetheless, here is a minimal working code, with your own button class:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QPushButton, QWidget, QLabel, QVBoxLayout
class MainWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
self.titleLabel = QLabel( "some label text" )
self.btn1 = myButtonOne( "button text" )
hbox = QVBoxLayout() # one vertical box seemed enough
hbox.addWidget( self.titleLabel )
hbox.addWidget( self.btn1 )
self.setLayout( hbox )
class myButtonOne(QPushButton):
def __init__(self, text, parent=None):
super(myButtonOne, self).__init__(text, parent)
self.clicked.connect(self.buttonOnePushed)
# add your customizations here
def buttonOnePushed (self) :
self.t = textView()
self.t.show()
class textView(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(textView, self).__init__()
self.theText = QLabel('test', self )
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
win = MainWindow()
win.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
What have you done wrong in your code?
using textView().show() creates a local version of you textView-class and show()'s it:
def buttonOnePushed(self):
textView().show()
But, show() means that the code continues, where the end of your code comes, which results in cleaning up the locals. End - it's just shown for a microsecond.
def buttonOnePushed (self) :
self.t = textView()
self.t.show()
The code above stores the var as instance-attribute of the button, which is not cleaned up.
Furthermore you misspelled the init in your textView-class:
"__init" should be __init__ - else it is not called when using the constructor:
class textView(QWidget):
def __init(self):
textView.__init__()
Finally, you wanted to called show() twice:
in your textView-init you call initUI() which is calling show()
you calling show manually with textView().show()
Hope this helps! I did not include your personal style adjustments for readability.
