dialog box will not show

Post by mfasano »

I am trying to create a script where it opens a dialog box for user input. I used Qt creator to make a UI file and pyside2-uic to make a python file for the dialog box. When I run it, the dialog box does not show.

Thanks.

These are functions, right? So you should call them.

Code: Select all

        super(init_val_prob_dialog, self).__init__()
        self.setupUi()
        self.show()
If you don't write the parentheses, you are just treating them as variables (they return the reference to their internal object).

I tried that and I got an error that says I need an argument for setupUi(). I don't know what the argument shoud be for this method.

Did you write this code yourself, or was it created automatically from QtCreator or something like that?

The definition of the method within the class expects one argument init_val_prob_dialog

Code: Select all

class Ui_init_val_prob_dialog(object):
    def setupUi(self, init_val_prob_dialog):
        init_val_prob_dialog.setObjectName("init_val_prob_dialog")
...
The argument init_val_prob_dialog is exactly the name of the second class, so maybe in this second class you need to pass self, which is precisely a reference to itself (the init_val_prob_dialog class).

Code: Select all

class init_val_prob_dialog(QtWidgets.QDialog, Ui_init_val_prob_dialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(init_val_prob_dialog, self).__init__()
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.show()

Re: dialog box will not show

Thanks vocx for the help.

The class Ui_init_val_prob_dialog(object) is generated using pyside2-uic from a UI file. the other class init_val_prob_dialog(QtWidgets.QDialog, Ui_init_val_prob_dialog) is something I copied from somewhere.

including self as an argument in .setupUi worked. Now it has a problem with strings in the class Ui_init_val_prob_dialog(object). It is strange because this is Qt generated code. I think Qt has their prefered type for strings.

the error message i get

Code: Select all

    init_val_prob_dialog.setObjectName("init_val_prob_dialog")

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

Well, this doesn't mention anything about strings.

What I do notice is your first class doesn't have an __init__() method. Maybe define one?

Code: Select all

class Ui_init_val_prob_dialog(object):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def setupUi(self, init_val_prob_dialog):
        init_val_prob_dialog.setObjectName("init_val_prob_dialog")
        
The second class inherits from the first class. What the following instruction does is that inside its own __init__() function, first it calls the __init__() function of the parent class. Therefore, the parent's __init__() must exist.

Code: Select all

class init_val_prob_dialog(QtWidgets.QDialog, Ui_init_val_prob_dialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(init_val_prob_dialog, self).__init__()

Re: dialog box will not show

Post by mfasano »

I found that the argument for .setupUi() should be QtWidgets.QDialog as Mario does.

Code: Select all

class init_val_prob_dialog(QtWidgets.QDialog, Ui_init_val_prob_dialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(init_val_prob_dialog, self).__init__
        self.setupUi(QtWidgets.QDialog)
now I get this error

Code: Select all

    init_val_prob_dialog.setObjectName("init_val_prob_dialog")
<class 'TypeError'>: descriptor 'setObjectName' requires a 'PySide2.QtCore.QObject' object but received a 'str'

I don't understand this; the argument for .setObjectName is supposed to be unicode. I thought python strings were unicode.

Where did you find this information? Are you just trying things?

Forget about other code; in your code the setupUi() function needs an init_val_prob_dialog. This is the current class, so you need to use self.

Look, this runs in my system.

I'm using Qt 5.9.5. Maybe your version of Qt is different and thus it fails on something.

I thought I would try reinstalling FreeCad.

OS: Windows 10

It said no module named pyside2 at the line for import.

I tried to install pyside2 with pip install. I made the environment path so freecad python was used. I also used sys.path.append to include freecad directories.

I guess I am moving backwards.
