Event fired twice using button box in Pyqt

Event fired twice using button box in Pyqt - python

This app is a basic Drag'n'Drop program and should handle dropped .html files.
So far I have written this code:
main.py
from PyQt4 import QtGui
import sys
import design, os
class MyTextEdit(QtGui.QTextEdit):
def __init__(self, parent):
super(MyTextEdit, self).__init__(parent)
self.setAcceptDrops(True)
self.list_of_dropped_files = []
def dragEnterEvent(self, event):
if event.mimeData().hasUrls():
event.accept()
else:
event.ignore()
def dragMoveEvent(self, event):
event.accept()
def dropEvent(self, event):
self.clear()
self.list_of_dropped_files = event.mimeData().urls()
for single_file in self.list_of_dropped_files:
self.append(single_file.toLocalFile())
class DialogInit(QtGui.QDialog, design.Ui_Dialog):
def __init__(self):
super(self.__class__, self).__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
self.buttonBox.accepted.connect(self.accept) # handle the ok button click
self.textEditHandler = MyTextEdit(self.textEdit)
def accept(self):
print self.textEditHandler.list_of_dropped_files
def main():
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
form = DialogInit()
form.show()
app.exec_()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
and I created also a design.py code using the QtDesigner that looks like as follows:

def retranslateUi(self, Dialog):
Dialog.setWindowTitle(_translate("Dialog", "Dialog", None))
self.label.setText(_translate("Dialog", "Drop .html file(s):", None))
However, after the Ok button from the button box has been pressed, the event and therefore the function accept(), is fired twice.
Furthermore I found that after dropping several files into the QTextEdit, the widget doesn't change its height or at least a scroll pane is added automatically.
Any ideas how to fix the both issues?
I think also that my code is pretty messed up, it works, but it is not really well programmed.
Can someone please give an advice how to refactor the code? What could I have been better?
Thanks!

I've found myself a solution for closing the QDialog issue after the ok button has been clicked. I had to remove the accept() slot in the design.py.
However, I still can't see a scrollbar added when several files have been droppped.

show arrows in QStackedWidget [duplicate]

I have two buttons (wgtbtnA & wgtbtnB) placed on two different pages (page1 and page2, respectively) inside a parent object (objectName: stackedWidget). My dilemma is this: when I run the code, the arrows don't display in PyQt. Why? How do I alternate from page1 to page2 and vice-versa?
Here is an image of runtime, which conveys what I am asking for:

the two arrows you see in the designer ( in your message below) don't carry over to your application, its a function in the designer so you can switch between them easily

To implement your arrows from one screen to the next you just need to propagate those arrows making sure that they appear in each view -- now this can easily be done via code cannot say how difficult it might be in the designer. Here is a example that does something like what you might be wanting.

If you really need arrows in your stacked widget, another solution is to implement your own "Promoted Widget": it allows you to create your design with custom widgets, that might extend the basic widgets provided by Qt. You won't be able to interact with your own implementation in Designer, but you'll get the result once you run your program.
This is the procedure: create your own subclass of the widget you want to extend, define your custom methods or override existing ones (remember that some private methods require a specific return value type, check the documentation).
It's usually better to save the subclass(es) you created in a separate files.
Then, in Designer add the widget you need (in this case, StackedWidget), right click on it and select "Promote to..."; in the dialog that will be shown, type the subclass name you created in the "Promoted class name" field (in the example below, it will be "StackedWidgetWithArrowButtons") and the file that contains it in the "header file" field: it will be treated as a python import, so do not add the trailing ".py" and remember that if you saved it in a subdirectory you'll need the full "module" path, for example "mysubclasses.customstackwidget", if the file is "customstackwidget" in the "mysubclasses" directory.
Save the ui, compile it and run the program.
class StackedWidgetWithArrowButtons(QtWidgets.QStackedWidget):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.backwardButton = QtWidgets.QToolButton(self)
self.backwardButton.setIcon(self.style().standardIcon(QtWidgets.QStyle.SP_ArrowLeft))
self.backwardButton.setMaximumSize(24, 24)
self.backwardButton.setFocusPolicy(QtCore.Qt.NoFocus)
self.forwardButton = QtWidgets.QToolButton(self)
self.forwardButton.setIcon(self.style().standardIcon(QtWidgets.QStyle.SP_ArrowRight))
self.forwardButton.setMaximumSize(24, 24)
self.forwardButton.setFocusPolicy(QtCore.Qt.NoFocus)
self.currentChanged.connect(self.checkSwitchButtons)
def checkSwitchButtons(self):
self.forwardButton.setEnabled(self.currentIndex() < self.count() - 1)
self.backwardButton.setEnabled(self.currentIndex() > 0)
def addWidget(self, widget):
# this is a private method of QStackedWidget that is called when
# the ui is being built by the program, we just implement it
# to ensure that the buttons are correctly enabled;
# the index *has* to be returned
index = QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.addWidget(self, widget)
self.checkSwitchButtons()
return index
def removeWidget(self, widget):
# not necessary, but in case you want to remove widgets in the
# future, it will check buttons again
index = QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.removeWidget(self, widget)
self.checkSwitchButtons()
return index
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
# due to the way QStackedWidget is implemented, children widgets
# that are not in its layout might not receive mouse events,
# but we just need to track clicks so this is enough
if event.button() == QtCore.Qt.LeftButton:
if event.pos() in self.backwardButton.geometry():
self.setCurrentIndex(self.currentIndex() - 1)
elif event.pos() in self.forwardButton.geometry():
self.setCurrentIndex(self.currentIndex() + 1)
def resizeEvent(self, event):
# the base class resizeEvent *has* to be called, otherwise
# you could encounter problems with children widgets
QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.resizeEvent(self, event)
# now ensure that the buttons are always placed on the top
# right corner; this positioning is completely manual and you
# have to take button sizes in consideration to avoid
# overlapping buttons; obviously you can place them wherever
# you want.
self.forwardButton.move(self.rect().right() - self.forwardButton.width(), 0)
self.backwardButton.move(self.forwardButton.x() - self.backwardButton.width(), 0)
If you don't want buttons (or you don't like the way they appear) you could implement your own paintEvent. In this case I created small triangles using QPolygons.
class StackedWidgetWithTriangles(QtWidgets.QStackedWidget):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.backwardRect = QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 16, 16)
self.forwardRect = QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 16, 16)
self.forwardArrow = QtGui.QPolygon([QtCore.QPoint(-6, -6), QtCore.QPoint(6, 0), QtCore.QPoint(-6, 6)])
self.backwardArrow = QtGui.QPolygon([QtCore.QPoint(6, -6), QtCore.QPoint(-6, 0), QtCore.QPoint(6, 6)])
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
if event.button() == QtCore.Qt.LeftButton:
if event.pos() in self.backwardRect:
self.setCurrentIndex(self.currentIndex() - 1)
elif event.pos() in self.forwardRect:
self.setCurrentIndex(self.currentIndex() + 1)
def resizeEvent(self, event):
QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.resizeEvent(self, event)
self.forwardRect.moveLeft(self.rect().right() - self.forwardRect.width())
self.backwardRect.moveLeft(self.forwardRect.x() - self.forwardRect.width())
def paintEvent(self, event):
qp = QtGui.QPainter(self)
qp.setRenderHints(qp.Antialiasing)
# set colors according to the possibility of going back or forward,
# showing a "disabled" arrow whenever it's not possible
if self.currentIndex() > 0:
qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.darkGray)
qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.black)
else:
qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.lightGray)
qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.transparent)
qp.drawPolygon(self.backwardArrow.translated(self.backwardRect.center()))
if self.currentIndex() < self.count() - 1:
qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.darkGray)
qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.black)
else:
qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.lightGray)
qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.transparent)
qp.drawPolygon(self.forwardArrow.translated(self.forwardRect.center()))

you have no logic in your ControlMainWindow class to switch between your widgets. (also i don't see any arrow widgets for switching) you'll need to add a listener to your QTbuttons in your main class like below to execute your logic:
yourQTbutton.itemClicked.connect(self.functioWithUIchangingLogic)

the two arrows you see in the designer ( in your message below) don't carry over to your application, its a function in the designer so you can switch between them easily

To implement your arrows from one screen to the next you just need to propagate those arrows making sure that they appear in each view -- now this can easily be done via code cannot say how difficult it might be in the designer. Here is a example that does something like what you might be wanting.

If you really need arrows in your stacked widget, another solution is to implement your own "Promoted Widget": it allows you to create your design with custom widgets, that might extend the basic widgets provided by Qt. You won't be able to interact with your own implementation in Designer, but you'll get the result once you run your program.
This is the procedure: create your own subclass of the widget you want to extend, define your custom methods or override existing ones (remember that some private methods require a specific return value type, check the documentation).
It's usually better to save the subclass(es) you created in a separate files.
Then, in Designer add the widget you need (in this case, StackedWidget), right click on it and select "Promote to..."; in the dialog that will be shown, type the subclass name you created in the "Promoted class name" field (in the example below, it will be "StackedWidgetWithArrowButtons") and the file that contains it in the "header file" field: it will be treated as a python import, so do not add the trailing ".py" and remember that if you saved it in a subdirectory you'll need the full "module" path, for example "mysubclasses.customstackwidget", if the file is "customstackwidget" in the "mysubclasses" directory.
Save the ui, compile it and run the program.
class StackedWidgetWithArrowButtons(QtWidgets.QStackedWidget):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.backwardButton = QtWidgets.QToolButton(self)
self.backwardButton.setIcon(self.style().standardIcon(QtWidgets.QStyle.SP_ArrowLeft))
self.backwardButton.setMaximumSize(24, 24)
self.backwardButton.setFocusPolicy(QtCore.Qt.NoFocus)
self.forwardButton = QtWidgets.QToolButton(self)
self.forwardButton.setIcon(self.style().standardIcon(QtWidgets.QStyle.SP_ArrowRight))
self.forwardButton.setMaximumSize(24, 24)
self.forwardButton.setFocusPolicy(QtCore.Qt.NoFocus)
self.currentChanged.connect(self.checkSwitchButtons)
def checkSwitchButtons(self):
self.forwardButton.setEnabled(self.currentIndex() < self.count() - 1)
self.backwardButton.setEnabled(self.currentIndex() > 0)
def addWidget(self, widget):
# this is a private method of QStackedWidget that is called when
# the ui is being built by the program, we just implement it
# to ensure that the buttons are correctly enabled;
# the index *has* to be returned
index = QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.addWidget(self, widget)
self.checkSwitchButtons()
return index
def removeWidget(self, widget):
# not necessary, but in case you want to remove widgets in the
# future, it will check buttons again
index = QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.removeWidget(self, widget)
self.checkSwitchButtons()
return index
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
# due to the way QStackedWidget is implemented, children widgets
# that are not in its layout might not receive mouse events,
# but we just need to track clicks so this is enough
if event.button() == QtCore.Qt.LeftButton:
if event.pos() in self.backwardButton.geometry():
self.setCurrentIndex(self.currentIndex() - 1)
elif event.pos() in self.forwardButton.geometry():
self.setCurrentIndex(self.currentIndex() + 1)
def resizeEvent(self, event):
# the base class resizeEvent *has* to be called, otherwise
# you could encounter problems with children widgets
QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.resizeEvent(self, event)
# now ensure that the buttons are always placed on the top
# right corner; this positioning is completely manual and you
# have to take button sizes in consideration to avoid
# overlapping buttons; obviously you can place them wherever
# you want.
self.forwardButton.move(self.rect().right() - self.forwardButton.width(), 0)
self.backwardButton.move(self.forwardButton.x() - self.backwardButton.width(), 0)
If you don't want buttons (or you don't like the way they appear) you could implement your own paintEvent. In this case I created small triangles using QPolygons.
class StackedWidgetWithTriangles(QtWidgets.QStackedWidget):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.backwardRect = QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 16, 16)
self.forwardRect = QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 16, 16)
self.forwardArrow = QtGui.QPolygon([QtCore.QPoint(-6, -6), QtCore.QPoint(6, 0), QtCore.QPoint(-6, 6)])
self.backwardArrow = QtGui.QPolygon([QtCore.QPoint(6, -6), QtCore.QPoint(-6, 0), QtCore.QPoint(6, 6)])
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
if event.button() == QtCore.Qt.LeftButton:
if event.pos() in self.backwardRect:
self.setCurrentIndex(self.currentIndex() - 1)
elif event.pos() in self.forwardRect:
self.setCurrentIndex(self.currentIndex() + 1)
def resizeEvent(self, event):
QtWidgets.QStackedWidget.resizeEvent(self, event)
self.forwardRect.moveLeft(self.rect().right() - self.forwardRect.width())
self.backwardRect.moveLeft(self.forwardRect.x() - self.forwardRect.width())
def paintEvent(self, event):
qp = QtGui.QPainter(self)
qp.setRenderHints(qp.Antialiasing)
# set colors according to the possibility of going back or forward,
# showing a "disabled" arrow whenever it's not possible
if self.currentIndex() > 0:
qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.darkGray)
qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.black)
else:
qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.lightGray)
qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.transparent)
qp.drawPolygon(self.backwardArrow.translated(self.backwardRect.center()))
if self.currentIndex() < self.count() - 1:
qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.darkGray)
qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.black)
else:
qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.lightGray)
qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.transparent)
qp.drawPolygon(self.forwardArrow.translated(self.forwardRect.center()))

you have no logic in your ControlMainWindow class to switch between your widgets. (also i don't see any arrow widgets for switching) you'll need to add a listener to your QTbuttons in your main class like below to execute your logic:
yourQTbutton.itemClicked.connect(self.functioWithUIchangingLogic)

Python & PyQt: Catch Minimize Event

Uhhh... Can somebody please help me with this? I can't seem to catch the minimize event of a widget I created. I tried solutions from every post I could find but it just doesn't seem to work with my code. In one of the solutions I tried, the window minimized and the system tray icon shows up but the app icon is still visible on the taskbar. I can't seem to figure out what I should be doing or what I'm missing here. I'm using Python 2.7 and PyQt 4.11. My OS is Windows 7 so I'm pretty sure its not an os issue. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me here.
Here is the code.
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

This code should work
def changeEvent(self, event):
if event.type() == QEvent.WindowStateChange:
if event.oldState() and Qt.WindowMinimized:
print("WindowMinimized")
elif event.oldState() == Qt.WindowNoState or self.windowState() == Qt.WindowMaximized:
print("WindowMaximized")

You could use the changeEvent provided by QWidget:
def changeEvent(self, event):
if event.type() == QEvent.WindowStateChange:
if self.windowState() & Qt.WindowMinimized:
pass

In the code the combobox items are intialized when the gui intializes and when i hit the button should open the software version which was selected in the combobox currently. this function it's doing pretty good.
But now i want to save the selection made by the user so that every time he invokes the gui he shouldn't select again the version previously he used in the combobox.
so if he selects hm_11.0 for the first time it should be everytime "hm_11.0" until he changes it. How can i do this??

This is the class you want to be reading: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qsettings.html
There is like a small tutorial inside (ctrl+f Restoring the State of a GUI Application).
You will use setValue to store information with par keyToSetting/valueOfSetting and reading with value keyToSetting.
Example:
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class Example(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(Example, self).__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.readSettings()
self.setWindowTitle('Simple')
self.show()
def readSettings(self):
settings = QtCore.QSettings("AyaanTech", "SoftwareTest")
self.setGeometry(settings.value("geometry", QtCore.QRect(300, 300, 250, 150)).toRect());
def writeSettings(self):
settings = QtCore.QSettings("AyaanTech", "SoftwareTest")
settings.setValue("geometry", self.geometry());
def closeEvent(self, event):
quit_msg = "Do you want to save position and size?"
reply = QtGui.QMessageBox.question(self, 'Message',
quit_msg, QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes, QtGui.QMessageBox.No, QtGui.QMessageBox.Cancel)
if reply == QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes:
self.writeSettings()
event.accept()
elif reply == QtGui.QMessageBox.No:

else:
event.ignore()
