Running a code posted below brings a Dialog_01 QMainWindow with one button on it. Clicking the button should close this window (Dialog_01) and replace it with another: Dialog_02 which is practically a copy of the first. Clicking Dialog_02 button closes it and reopens Dialog_01. There are no errors while the code runs. But it is definitely missing something since Dialog_02 is not showing up even while it is being declared. What am I missing?
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
class Dialog_02(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Dialog_02, self).__init__()
myQWidget = QtGui.QWidget()
myBoxLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
Button_02 = QtGui.QPushButton("Press to close this dialog 02 and re-open Dialog 01")
Button_02.clicked.connect(self.callAnotherQMainWindow)
myBoxLayout.addWidget(Button_02)
myQWidget.setLayout(myBoxLayout)
self.setCentralWidget(myQWidget)
def callAnotherQMainWindow(self):
print "This is supposed to call Dialog_01"
class Dialog_01(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Dialog_01, self).__init__()
myQWidget = QtGui.QWidget()
myBoxLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
Button_01 = QtGui.QPushButton("Press to close this dialog and open Dialog 02")
Button_01.clicked.connect(self.callAnotherQMainWindow)
myBoxLayout.addWidget(Button_01)
myQWidget.setLayout(myBoxLayout)
self.setCentralWidget(myQWidget)
def callAnotherQMainWindow(self):
dialog_1.hide()
dialog_2 = Dialog_02()
dialog_2.resize(480,320)
dialog_2.show()
dialog_2.raise_()
dialog_1 = Dialog_01()
dialog_1.show()
dialog_1.resize(480,320)
sys.exit(app.exec_())
The mistake was in using dialog.hide() instead of dialog.close(). A calling dialog needs to be closed (instead of hidden) before a second dialog can be displayed.
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
class Dialog_02(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Dialog_02, self).__init__()
myQWidget = QtGui.QWidget()
myBoxLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
Button_02 = QtGui.QPushButton("Press to close this dialog 02 and re-open Dialog 01")
Button_02.clicked.connect(self.callAnotherQMainWindow)
myBoxLayout.addWidget(Button_02)
myQWidget.setLayout(myBoxLayout)
self.setCentralWidget(myQWidget)
self.setWindowTitle('Dialog 02')
def callAnotherQMainWindow(self):
self.close()
self.dialog_01 = Dialog_01()
self.dialog_01.show()
self.dialog_01.raise_()
class Dialog_01(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Dialog_01, self).__init__()
myQWidget = QtGui.QWidget()
myBoxLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
Button_01 = QtGui.QPushButton("Press to close this dialog and open Dialog 02")
Button_01.clicked.connect(self.callAnotherQMainWindow)
myBoxLayout.addWidget(Button_01)
myQWidget.setLayout(myBoxLayout)
self.setCentralWidget(myQWidget)
self.setWindowTitle('Dialog 01')
def callAnotherQMainWindow(self):
self.close()
self.dialog_02 = Dialog_02()
self.dialog_02.show()
self.dialog_02.raise_()
dialog_1 = Dialog_01()
dialog_1.show()
dialog_1.resize(480,320)
sys.exit(app.exec_())
in Dialog_02
class modify the following method:
def callAnotherQMainWindow(self)
self.close()
self.dialog_01 = Dialog_01()
self.dialog_01.show()
self.dialog_01.raise_()
And in Dialog_01
class modify the following method:
def callAnotherQMainWindow(self)
self.close()
self.dialog_02 = Dialog_02()
self.dialog_02.show()
self.dialog_02.raise_()
