Maya PySide2 UI Get QLineEdit value - python

I am starting using QtCreator to create a UI for a little tool for Maya 2017. QtCreator gave me this .ui file :

And I have this code wich displays my UI :
import maya.cmds as cmds
from PySide2.QtWidgets import *
from PySide2.QtCore import *
if cmds.window(main_window, ex = True):
cmds.deleteUI(main_window)
main_window = cmds.loadUI(uiFile = "C:/Users/thornydre/Desktop/attreditorui.ui")
cmds.showWindow(main_window)
def displayCommand(e):
print(attr_name_textfield.text())
print(attr_value_textfield.text())
def submitCommand(e):
attr_name = attr_name_textfield.text()
attr_value = attr_value_textfield.text()
is_string = False
try:
new_attr_value = float(attr_value)
if float(attr_value) % 1 == 0:
new_attr_value = int(attr_value)
except:
is_string = True
new_attr_value = attr_value
print(new_attr_value)
for name in cmds.ls(sl = True):
if is_string:
cmds.setAttr(name + "." + attr_name, new_attr_value, type = "string")
else:
cmds.setAttr(name + "." + attr_name, new_attr_value)
def cancelCommand(e):
cmds.deleteUI(main_window, window = True)
And if I click on my display_button, I have an error :
# Result: dockWidgetContents|display_button #
# Error: AttributeError: file <maya console> line 12: 'bool' object has no attribute 'attr_name_textfield' #
I tried to do it with a subclass of QtWidgets.QWidget as I found somewhere on the internet, but I don't really found any tutorial on how to build it properly:
from PySide2 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets, QtUiTools
class Interface(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(Interface, self).__init__(parent)
ui_filename = "C:/Users/thornydre/Desktop/attreditorui.ui"
ui_file = QtCore.QFile(ui_filename)
ui_file.open(QtCore.QFile.ReadOnly)
self.ui = QtUiTools.QUiLoader().load(ui_file, parentWidget=self)
ui_file.close()
def connectInterface(self):
QtCore.QtObject.connect(self.displayCommand, QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.displayCommandWin)
def displayCommand(self):
print(self.attr_name_textfield.text())
print(self.attr_value_textfield.text())
def main():
global ui
ui = Interface()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Same thing here, the UI shows up, but really nothing happens with clicking on the display_button

Your second try with the class seems good but it's completely normal that you can't execute displayCommand, your button is not connected to your method.
Juste delete your connectInterface method, and right after ui_file.close() copy this:
self.ui.display_button.clicked.connect(self.displayCommand)
It should work better :) (and you have to use the eyllanesc solution too to access to the widgets values)

how to copy frame from tab to new tab in tabwidget pyqt5?

How to copy tab1 frame to new tab which is dynamically added using QPushButton and addTab function.
Trying to create gui with "Insert Tab" button that will add new tab with predefined frame and settings,
but its replacing frame from tab1 to new tab if I go back to tab one its missing the frame which i used in new tab.
How can I copy the widgets instead of moving it while adding new tab?

Output:
this Tab1 have a frame with "Hello Saq" label under frame widget.
If I insert new tab (using the above code addTab(self.widget, "New Tab") function its adding the frame to new tab but now its missing in the Tab1
Is there any way to copy widget instead of moving it?

How to call function when space key is pressed inside the lineEdit

I want to call a function that checks words count in a lineEdit whenever I press space key inside the lineEdit. But how can I do that. After executing the python file press 'Start Game' to go to the lineEdit. Thanks!
Here's my code:

class UI(QMainWindow):

uic.loadUi("Typing_test_UI.ui", self)
# Define our widgets
self.textBrowser = self.findChild(QTextBrowser, "textBrowser")
self.lineEdit = self.findChild(QLineEdit, "lineEdit")
self.counter = self.findChild(QLCDNumber, "counter")
self.startBtn = self.findChild(QPushButton, "startBtn")
self.timeCombo = self.findChild(QComboBox, "timeCombo")

self.gamePage = self.findChild(QWidget, "gamePage")
self.scorePage = self.findChild(QWidget, "scorePage")
self.highScoreLabel = self.findChild(QLabel, "highScoreLabel")
self.scoreLabel = self.findChild(QLabel, "scoreLabel")
self.retryBtn = self.findChild(QPushButton, "retryBtn")
self.space_count = 0
self.startBtn.clicked.connect(self.start_game)
self.retryBtn.clicked.connect(self.goto_home_page)
# Show the app
self.show()
def start_game(self):
self.stackedWidget.setCurrentWidget(self.gamePage)
self.textBrowser.clear()
with open("Typing_sentences.txt", "r") as f:
all_texts = f.readlines()
lines_of_text = len(all_texts)
self.textBrowser.append(all_texts[random.randint(0, lines_of_text-1)])
def goto_home_page(self):
self.stackedWidget.setCurrentWidget(self.startPage)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
UIWindow = UI()
app.exec_()
The sentences for a function in my code:
He found himself sitting at his computer, typing whatever came to mind. He was on a website entitled 10 fast fingers. This site tested how fast you were at typing. So he typed. He was currently typing about himself typing, which is odd in a way. He was now describing about how he was typing about himself typing.
The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite to communicate between networks and devices. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing.

How to access a button from Tab Widget in PyQt5

I have made a Tab Widget Window in my Main Window using Qt-Designer and I am trying to access a button in my 1st Tab.
This is my code.
import sys
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui,uic,QtWidgets
class AddWindow(QtWidgets.QDialog):
def __init__(self):
super(AddWindow,self).__init__()
uic.loadUi('AddWindow.ui',self)
class MyApp(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(MyApp,self).__init__()
uic.loadUi('MainWindow.ui',self)
self.AddButton.clicked.connect(self.Addwindow)
def printW(self):
print("hello")
def Addwindow(self):
addwindow=AddWindow()
addwindow.exec_()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MyApp()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
I just want to have my button on 1st tab (named print) connected with function printW So I can display something on screen.
here is my MainWindow.ui file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">

I have tried creating a class and accessing button but could not do it.

Pyside2 QAction triggers once automatically but not when user clicks the menu

I've created a simple GUI using qt designer and imported it into my python project. The main window comes up, and the menus/buttons are responsive, but I cannot manage to connect my QActions to custom functions (I did it for buttons though, and it works). The weird thing is that my custom function (on_action_clicked) is called once when I run the application, but not when I click on the menu items or icons of the toolbar (I tried connecting both). Below are the test codes. Am I missing something?

You have 2 errors:
on_btn_clicked is a method of the class so it must have as the first parameter the instance, that is, self.
the connection is with the name of the function without evaluating, in your case the slot on_action_clicked you are evaluating it, so you are getting it printed at the beginning, for it there are 2 possible solutions: use partial or use a lambda function.
self.btn = self.window.findChild(QPushButton, 'pushButton')
self.btn.clicked.connect(self.on_btn_clicked)
self.action_save = self.window.findChild(QAction, 'action_save_state')
self.action_save.triggered.connect(partial(self.on_action_clicked, 'action clicked'))
# self.action_save.triggered.connect(lambda: self.on_action_clicked('action clicked')) # use lambda function
self.window.show()
def on_action_clicked(self, txt):
print(txt)
def on_btn_clicked(self):
print('button clicked')

PyQt5 close immediately when changing the status of QLineEdit

I decided to implement a simple version of GA algorithm. I firstly use Qt designer to create a .ui document which contains the component and layout of my GUI. Then try to connect it with the python, however, when comes to the self.dis_speed.insert(a), the window closes immediately. This is the whole code:

self.show()
self.but_start.clicked.connect(self.start)

self.dis_fit=s.dis_fit
self.dis_speed.setReadOnly(True)
self.dis_fit.setReadOnly(True)
