Retrieve data from a dialog in the calling window

I am struggling to retrieve results from a QDialog window and pass them back to the previous window. I want the user to be able to select a value/values, and then once they click okay in the dialog window, it should return them back to the previous window, and pass the text into the byVariables Textbox. The error returns on the line self.procUnivariate.byVariables.setText(item.text()). The error states:
AttributeError: 'ProcUnivariateVariables' object has no attribute 'procUnivariate'
I also tried using a return statement as you can see that is commented out. Unfortunately it seemed like the code got stuck and wasn't moving to the next line as I threw a print statement after and it never printed that line. I need help figuring out how to pass it back to the ProcUnivariate class once the okay button is clicked. Also, if I can figure this out, I'll likely turn the ProcUnivariate Class into a dialog window as well because it should take away the focus from the main window and shouldn't stay open if the main window is closed.

What you need to do is connect a slot to the accepted signal of the dialog, and then retrieve the variables via a dedicated method of the dialog when that signal is emitted.
Here are all the relevant changes (fully tested as working):
class ProcUnivariateVariables(QDialog):
...
def button_Connections(self):
...
# connect to the dialog's built-in accept slot
self.okButton.clicked.connect(self.accept)
# add a method for retrieving the variables
def byVariablesSelected(self):
return [item.text() for item in self.variablesSelected.selectedItems()]
class ProcUnivariate(QWidget):
...

self.byButton.clicked.connect(self.show_third_window)
self.varButton.clicked.connect(self.show_third_window)
def show_third_window(self):
if self.procUnivariateVariables is None: # if window has been created yet
self.procUnivariateVariables = ProcUnivariateVariables() # create window
# connect the new slot to the dialog's built-in accepted signal
self.procUnivariateVariables.accepted.connect(self.receive_selected_variables)
if not self.procUnivariateVariables.isVisible(): # if window is showing
self.procUnivariateVariables.show() # show window
self.procUnivariateVariables.setItems(self.procUnivariateVariablesItems) # send items to window
# set an identifier from the source button
self.procUnivariateVariables.sourceName = self.sender().text()
# add a slot for handling the dialog's accepted signal
def receive_selected_variables(self):
variables = self.procUnivariateVariables.byVariablesSelected()
text = ', '.join(variables)
if self.procUnivariateVariables.sourceName == 'byButton':
self.byVariables.setText(text)
else:
self.varBox.setText(text)
(Note that the above changes make the okay_clicked method of ProcUnivariateVariables redundant, so it should be removed).

PyQt5 removing QListWidgets and QPushButton dynamically and interact with listItems

Within my QApplication I want to create QListWidgets dynamically and do something with listitems.
I want to create a Favorite Tab. The only think that work is self.listWidget_fav.clear
There are 4 QPushButtons
the self.buttonOK button have to use the list items
the self.buttonRemoveFav has to remove the entire QListWidget with the 4 QPushButtons
the self.buttonDel has to clear the entire list <---- working
the self.buttonDelSel has to remove selected listItem.
What's wrong?

The problem is my text label is missing from this window. I made it so big in case the label did not have enough space to fully display but in that case I think it would have displayed what it had space for. Hopefully someone knows why.
Edit: I have included the entire init function of Ui_Form. All my problems are caused in this bit the rest working ok.

The window you are viewing is not pleaseWait window but the mainWidget window.
The above is explained assuming that:
The file that is read is small, so the pleaseWait window will open and close instantly, so that being that synchronous action Qt will not have time to do it and for the user the window will never have been shown. For this case the solution is to give a reasonable time for the user to see the window.
The file is very large, the reading will take a long time blocking the eventloop, which will cause tasks such as displaying a window to not be performed, to avoid blocking the task must be executed in another thread.
Combining both solutions we obtain the following code:

This code works perfectly for me:

from PyQt5.Qt import QApplication
class waitWindow(QtWidgets.QDialog):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowTitle("Info")
self.resize(600,200)
self.VLayout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
self.message = QtWidgets.QLabel(self)
self.message.setFixedWidth(550)
self.message.setText("Please wait while input file is being read")
self.VLayout.addWidget(self.message)
self.show()
def closeWindow(self):
self.close()
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
w = waitWindow()
w.exec_()

Okay took your code and gutted all the unessential stuff to analyze the actual issue I have included the gutted version so you can see what is necessary in the future to see what is wrong.
In short the issue is that you need to add the following line as the last line in your waitWindow function >> self.exec() by adding that I got your label to display (see code below)
Now with that said you do have another issue and that is the QDialog box will not allow the program to continue until it has been closed (aka it stops the process flow until you release it by closing the window or use a different means). My question is why not use your "main window" to display that message then repopulate with the rest of that data. Also curious why are you not using QMainWindow?
import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
class Ui_Form():
def __init__(self):
self.pleaseWait = waitWindow()
self.pleaseWait.show()
self.pleaseWait.close()
sys.exit()
class waitWindow(QDialog):
def __init__(self):
super(waitWindow, self).__init__()
self.setWindowTitle("Info")
self.resize(600,200)
self.message = QLabel(self)
self.message.setFixedWidth(550)
self.message.setText("Please wait while input file is being read")
self.VLayout = QVBoxLayout(self)
self.VLayout.addWidget(self.message)
self.setLayout(self.VLayout)
self.exec_()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ui = Ui_Form()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

PyQt5 QtreeWidget : How can i access a custom widget's methods in a QtreeWidgetItem?

I have a simple QTreeWidget :
self.treeWidget = QTreeWidget(self)
col = ("Status", "Name")
self.treeWidget.setColumnCount(2)
self.treeWidget.setHeaderLabels(col)
witch I populate using :
wid = Custom_Widget()
item = QTreeWidgetItem(self.treeWidget)
item.setText(1, "some string")
item.treeWidget().setItemWidget(item, 0, wid)
I can easly acces the text column by using :
root = self.treeWidget.invisibleRootItem()
it = root.child(2) # for example the third item
it.setText(1, "Edited")
what i need is to edit the costum_widget in column 0, so how can i access it or invoke his methods ?

I resolved the issue by keeping a list of all the costum_widgets that i create, my code would be :
from CustomWidgets import Custom_Widget
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
import sys
class MyExample(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.treeWidget = QTreeWidget(self)
self.group_wid = [] # my list of widgets
col = ("Status", "Name")
self.treeWidget.setColumnCount(2)
self.treeWidget.setHeaderLabels(col)
self.populate_tree()
self.edit_tree()
self.show()
def populate_tree(self):
for i in range(10):
wid = Custom_Widget()
self.group_wid.append(wid) # each time i instantiate a Custom_Widget i'll add it to my list of widgets
item = QTreeWidgetItem(self.treeWidget)
item.setText(1, "some string")
item.treeWidget().setItemWidget(item, 0, wid)
def edit_tree(self):
root = self.treeWidget.invisibleRootItem()
it = root.child(2) # for example the third item
it.setText(1, "Edited")
self.group_wid[2].my_method() # i can easily edit my widgets that are in the QTreeWidget
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = MyExample()
app.exec_()
Guess the QtreeWidgetItem only hold a reference to the widgets that are contained.

Python GTK+ 3: How to set row in TreeView active

I have a Gtk.ComboBoxText that should be used as a trigger to activate a row in a Gtk.TreeView. I know how to trigger the combo box by activating the respective row in the tree view. But vice versa is beyond my scope. I learned that I need to pass Gtk.TreePath and Gtk.TreeViewColumn to the function row_activated(), but I don't know how to implement these correctly and where to put the row ID in my function self.combo_changed(). This is an example of the issue:
from gi.repository import Gtk
class MainWindow(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self)
self.set_default_size(200, 100)
self.set_border_width(10)
self.grid = Gtk.Grid(row_spacing=10)
self.add(self.grid)
self.combo = Gtk.ComboBoxText()
self.combo.connect("changed", self.combo_changed)
self.grid.attach(self.combo, 0, 0, 1, 1)
self.liststore = Gtk.ListStore()
self.liststore.set_column_types([int, str])
self.treeview = Gtk.TreeView(self.liststore)
self.treeview.set_activate_on_single_click(True)
self.treeview.connect('row-activated', self.list_changed)
self.grid.attach(self.treeview, 0, 1, 1, 1)
cols = ["ID", "Animal"]
self.treeviewcolumn = []
self.cellrenderertext = []
for i in range(len(cols)):
self.cellrenderertext.append(Gtk.CellRendererText())
self.treeviewcolumn.append(Gtk.TreeViewColumn(cols[i]))
self.treeviewcolumn[i].pack_start(self.cellrenderertext[i], True)
self.treeviewcolumn[i].add_attribute(self.cellrenderertext[i], "text", i)
self.treeview.append_column(self.treeviewcolumn[i])
animals = ["Dog", "Cat", "Mouse"]
self.rowiter = []
for i in range(len(animals)):
self.combo.append_text(animals[i])
self.rowiter.append([self.liststore.append([i, animals[i]])])
self.combo.set_active(0)
def list_changed(self, widget, row, data2):
self.combo.set_active(int(row.to_string()))
def combo_changed(self, widget):
print(widget.get_active()) # the ID of the requested row
#self.treeview.row_activated(Gtk.TreePath(), Gtk.TreeViewColumn())
def quit_window(self, widget, data=None):
Gtk.main_quit()
win = MainWindow()
win.show_all()
win.connect("delete-event", win.quit_window)
Gtk.main()

I discovered that I also need Gtk.TreeView.set_cursor() to achieve my goal:
def combo_changed(self, widget):
row = widget.get_active() # the ID of the requested row
print(row)
self.treeview.row_activated(Gtk.TreePath(row), Gtk.TreeViewColumn(None))
self.treeview.set_cursor(Gtk.TreePath(row))
