In the example below, I would like to fill my QListWidget with files opening a Qdialog. I don't understand how I can add the files selected in the list. Should I do a new class? How can I connect the two methods setupList and addFiles?
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
from datapath import *
class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(MainWindow,self).__init__()
self.sources =[]
self.setupActions()
self.setupList()
self.setupUi()
self.setupStatusBars()
def addFiles(self):
files = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(
self,"Open File", dirpath, "txt Files (*.txt)")
for string in files:
self.sources.append(str(string))
return self.sources
def setupActions(self):
self.exitAct = QtGui.QAction(
QtGui.QIcon(':/images/exit.png'),
"E&xit", self, shortcut="Ctrl+Q",
statusTip="Exit the application", triggered=self.close
)
self.addFilesAct = QtGui.QAction(
QtGui.QIcon(':/images/open.png'),
"Add &Files", self, shortcut=QtGui.QKeySequence.Open,
statusTip="Open an existing file", triggered=self.addFiles
)
def setupList(self):
#FileList
self.FileList = QtGui.QListWidget(self)
self.FileList.addItems(self.sources)
def setupUi(self):
#Window size
horiz = 300
vert = 300
self.setGeometry(self.width()/2, self.height()/2,horiz,vert)
self.setWindowTitle("test")
#MenuBar
self.FileMenu = self.menuBar().addMenu("&File")
self.FileMenu.addAction(self.addFilesAct)
self.FileMenu.addSeparator();
self.FileMenu.addAction(self.exitAct)
#ToolBar
self.fileToolBar = self.addToolBar("Open")
self.fileToolBar.addAction(self.addFilesAct)
self.fileToolBar.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(64,64))
#Build Layout
mainLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
mainLayout.addWidget(self.FileList)
widget = QtGui.QWidget()
widget.setLayout(mainLayout)
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
def setupStatusBars(self):
self.statusBar().showMessage("Ready")
def main():
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
mw = MainWindow()
mw.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
When self.sources
is changed, the elements of the QListWidget will not change. So self.FileList.addItems(self.sources)
in setupList()
should be removed and instead put in addFiles()
so that every time the files are selected in the dialog, the QListWidget's addItems method is called. Then return self.sources
in addFiles()
would be unnecessary.
