i am new in PyQt but i have a problem i can't solve. I am trying to get text from second window and set it to field, so when i close second window i can print it form first main window, but my "AnotherWindow" button won't fire event and i really don't know why? Here is code. Can anyone guide me?
Thanks
class AnotherWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.resize(1200, 600)
self.text = "basetext"
self.layoutf = QFormLayout()
self.buttonf = QPushButton("get text")
self.buttonf.clicked.connect(lambda: self.getText)
self.line = QLineEdit()
self.layoutf.addRow(self.buttonf,self.line)
self.widgetf = QWidget()
self.widgetf.setLayout(self.layoutf)
self.setCentralWidget(self.widgetf)
def getText(self):
print(self.line.text)
self.text = self.line.text
self.close()
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.w = None # No external window yet.
self.mainLayout = QGridLayout()
self.button = QPushButton("Push for Window")
self.button.clicked.connect(self.show_new_window)
self.button1 = QPushButton("Push ")
self.button1.clicked.connect(self.printFromSecondWindow)
self.mainLayout.addWidget(self.button,0,0)
self.mainLayout.addWidget(self.button1, 0, 1)
self.widget = QWidget()
self.widget.setLayout(self.mainLayout)
self.setCentralWidget(self.widget)
def show_new_window(self):
if self.w is None:
self.w = AnotherWindow()
self.w.show()
else:
self.w.close() # Close window.
self.w = None # Discard reference.
def printFromSecondWindow(self):
print(self.w.text)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
w = MainWindow()
w.show()
app.exec_()
The problem is with self.buttonf.clicked.connect(...). This call attaches a function to the "clicked" action on the button. The function is called without parameters and the return is simply discarded. In your case, lambda: self.get_text is a function that does nothing but return the address of the self.get_text method. Since get_text doesn't need any additional parameters, you can bind it directly to this slot.
self.buttonf.clicked.connect(self.get_text)
You also have a bug later on where you need to call the text method. With these two changes, the working program is
import sys

Instantiate the second window once in the main window constructor. self.w = AnotherWindow (self)
When creating an instance of the second window, self.w = AnotherWindow (self) - self is passed as a parent, so that when the main window is closed, the second window also closes.
To get text from a QLineEdit widget - apply QString text() const, more https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlineedit.html#text-prop
You did not show the method printFromSecondWindow in which, as I understand it, you wanted to show what you intended.
Try it:

This is a follow-up to this question of mine: Make QGroupBox selectable and clickable
My related question is how can I programmatically click on the first group upon startup?
I have tried to do this after implementing the solution provided in the original question using:
scrollLayout.itemAt(0).widget().click()
However, this did not work.
What am I missing?
Try it:
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtGui, QtCore

I have QStackedWidget in ApplicationWindow class and buttons which are going to point to different QWidgets in MenuWindow. I need a help with writing a function which would change the CurrentWidget according to button clicked - e.g. login_button would change the CurrentWidget to LoginWindow.
When trying to do it myself I ran into recursion problems as I have just started with learning Python.
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
import sys
class ApplicationWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(ApplicationWindow, self).__init__()
# stack = Controller()
self.menu = MenuWindow()

self.setGeometry(0, 0, 800, 600)
self.setWindowTitle('Finance tracker')
self.setAutoFillBackground(True)
p = self.palette()
p.setColor(self.backgroundRole(), Qt.green)
self.setPalette(p)
self.stack = QStackedWidget()
self.stack.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Maximum, QSizePolicy.Maximum)
self.stack.addWidget(self.menu)
self.stack.addWidget(self.login)
self.stack.setCurrentWidget(self.menu)

layout.addWidget(self.stack)
layout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
self.setLayout(layout)
class MenuWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(MenuWindow, self).__init__()
self.setGeometry(0, 0, 250, 200)
box = QVBoxLayout()
self.setAutoFillBackground(True)
p = self.palette()
p.setColor(self.backgroundRole(), Qt.red)
self.setPalette(p)
label = QLabel('Welcome to finance tracker')
label.setStyleSheet('font: 24pt')
box.addWidget(label, alignment=Qt.AlignCenter)
login_button = QPushButton('Login')
login_button.clicked.connect(qApp.exit)
new_button = QPushButton('Create a new account')
new_button.clicked.connect(qApp.exit)
exit_button = QPushButton('Exit')
exit_button.clicked.connect(qApp.exit)
for button in [login_button, new_button, exit_button]:
button.setStyleSheet('font: 14pt')
button.setFixedSize(200, 50)
box.addWidget(button, alignment=Qt.AlignCenter)
self.setLayout(box)
self.show()
class LoginWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(LoginWindow, self).__init__()
self.setGeometry(0, 0, 10, 250)
self.setAutoFillBackground(True)
p = self.palette()
p.setColor(self.backgroundRole(), Qt.blue)
self.setPalette(p)

Since you are using QPushButtons to switch pages I would add them to a QButtonGroup. This way you can connect the QButtonGroup.buttonClicked[int] signal to QStackedWidget.setCurrentIndex. Keep a pointer to the QButtonGroup in your MenuWindow.
class MenuWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
...
login_button = QPushButton('Login')
new_button = QPushButton('Create a new account')
exit_button = QPushButton('Exit')
exit_button.clicked.connect(qApp.exit)
self.btn_group = QButtonGroup()
for i, button in enumerate([login_button, new_button, exit_button]):
button.setStyleSheet('font: 14pt')
button.setFixedSize(200, 50)
box.addWidget(button, alignment=Qt.AlignCenter)
self.btn_group.addButton(button)
self.btn_group.setId(button, i + 1)
...
And now you can connect the signal and slot in your ApplicationWindow.
class ApplicationWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
...
self.menu.btn_group.buttonClicked[int].connect(self.stack.setCurrentIndex)
I got the following Test-GUI.
There is a left layout and a right layout where i want to put buttons and other things onto. The button on the right should make a QFrame unhide or hide and all the widgets in it. This works.
But after the first two clicks, the layout is different.
The TableWidget on the left layout gets resized and the button is a bit more south.
Is there an easy way to fix this?

I would like to ask how to make the text in QTextEdit scoll, to achieve an animational effect. The animational effect should be something like what in the video shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyeuGdXv4XM
With PyQt I want to get this effect:
The text should be scolled automatically at a speed of 2 lines/second downwards, till it reaches the end and stops.
In my code below, when the button is clicked, the text is shown in QTextEdit-Widget. The text is very long, so that the scroll bar is shown.
My Problem:
I dont know how to make the animation effect. Thus I would like to ask your help to correct my code.

Thanks very much for the help!
The task you want is not heavy, it is periodic so using a thread is inappropriate, for this task we can use QVariantAnimation.
The other part is to create a method that moves to a certain line of text for it we use QTextCursor next to findBlockByLineNumber() of QTextDocument.
And for the last one we must start moving to the last initial visible for it we use the cursorForPosition() method through the size of the viewport().
longText = "\n".join(["{}: long text - auto scrolling ".format(i) for i in range(100)])
class AnimationTextEdit(QTextEdit):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QTextEdit.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.animation = QVariantAnimation(self)
self.animation.valueChanged.connect(self.move)
#pyqtSlot()
def startAnimation(self):
self.animation.stop()
lines_per_second = 2
self.moveToLine(0)
p = QPoint(self.viewport().width() - 1, self.viewport().height() - 1)
cursor = self.cursorForPosition(p)
self.animation.setStartValue(cursor.blockNumber())
self.animation.setEndValue(self.document().blockCount()-1)
self.animation.setDuration(self.animation.endValue()*1000/lines_per_second)
self.animation.start()
#pyqtSlot(QVariant)
def move(self, i):
cursor = QTextCursor(self.document().findBlockByLineNumber(i))
self.setTextCursor(cursor)
class MyApp(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(MyApp, self).__init__()
self.setFixedSize(600, 400)
self.txt = AnimationTextEdit(self)
self.btn = QPushButton("Start", self)
self.layout = QHBoxLayout(self)
self.layout.addWidget(self.txt)

self.btn.clicked.connect(self.txt.startAnimation)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MyApp()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Update:
if you want a continuous movement you must use verticalScrollBar():
longText = "\n".join(["{}: long text - auto scrolling ".format(i) for i in range(100)])
class AnimationTextEdit(QTextEdit):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QTextEdit.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

self.animation.valueChanged.connect(self.moveToLine)
#pyqtSlot()

self.animation.stop()

self.animation.setEndValue(self.verticalScrollBar().maximum())

I am trying to achieve something like this in PySide: https://codepen.io/imprakash/pen/GgNMXO
What I want to do is create a child window frameless with a black overlay below.
I didn't succeed to create a child window frameless and the overlay...
This is a base code to replicate the HTML:
from PySide import QtCore, QtGui
import sys
class MainWindow(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self)
self.resize(800, 500)
self.button = QtGui.QPushButton("Click Me")
self.setLayout(QtGui.QVBoxLayout())
self.layout().addWidget(self.button)
# Connections
self.button.clicked.connect(self.displayOverlay)
def displayOverlay(self):
popup = QtGui.QDialog(self)
popup.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
popup.setLayout(QtGui.QHBoxLayout())
popup.layout().addWidget(QtGui.QLabel("HI"))
popup.show()
print "clicked"
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
If you comment the line with the FramelessWindowHint, the window comes, else nothing happen...
I really hope that someone could help me. Thank you for the time you spent to read my question.
I'll be using PyQt5 for this explanation. It might have some differences to PySide (which I'm not sure if its still maintained) and PyQt4, but it shouldn't be too hard to convert.
The following example has a parent widget which a few buttons. One of them (the obvious one) calls for the popup. I've prepared the example to deal with the parent resize but have not made any code regarding mouse events of dragging the popup (see mouseMoveEvent and mouseReleaseEvent for that).
So here is the code:

Which results in the following:
The logic is the following. You create an empty Widget and manually draw the background and popup (paintEvent). You add a button for closing the popup. For this you build a Signal and let the parent widget do the closing. This is important because you need to make the parent widget control some important elements of the popup (such as closing, resizng, etc.). You can add far more complexity but hopefully the example will suffice for starters.
Thanks to armatita, I succeed to get what I wanted. For now, there are some issues but it works and I get the result that I wanted.
I give you the code to the next who will be looking for the same thing.

Once again thank you both of you(ymmx and armatita) to spend time on my issue.
did you try replacing popup.show() by popup.exec_()? and remove self as a parameter of the Qdialog? I change QDialog to QmessageBox to be able to quit the subwindow but it still work with the QDialog.
popup = QMessageBox()
popup.setWindowFlags( Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
popup.setLayout( QHBoxLayout())
popup.layout().addWidget( QLabel("HI"))
popup.exec_()
update
class Popup(QDialog ):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowFlags( Qt.CustomizeWindowHint)
self.setLayout( QHBoxLayout())
Button_close = QPushButton('close')
self.layout().addWidget( QLabel("HI"))
self.layout().addWidget( Button_close)
Button_close.clicked.connect( self.close )
self.exec_()
print("clicked")
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
self.oldPos = event.globalPos()
def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):
delta = QPoint (event.globalPos() - self.oldPos)
#print(delta)
self.move(self.x() + delta.x(), self.y() + delta.y())
self.oldPos = event.globalPos()
class MainWindow( QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QWidget.__init__(self)
self.resize(800, 500)
self.button = QPushButton("Click Me")
self.setLayout( QVBoxLayout())
self.layout().addWidget(self.button)
# Connections
self.button.clicked.connect(self.displayOverlay)
def displayOverlay(self):
Popup( )
