I've linked another file to a pushButton in my main window. Every time I click it, the new window does open but the old (primary window) is still there. How do I close it or hide it without affecting the new window.
PS: I'm a newcomer here. Apologies for any idiocies or mistakes while posting this query on my part. Thank you!
Here's the relevant code:
import sys
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from create2 import Ui_MainWindow
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QWidget
from PyQt5.QtCore import QMargins
class Ui_Form(object):
def setupUi(self, Form):
Form.setObjectName("Form")
Form.resize(813, 655)
self.widget = QtWidgets.QWidget(Form)
self.widget.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(190, 50, 501, 591))
self.widget.setObjectName("widget")
.
.
.
def newusr_clk(self):
self.mainwin=QMainWindow()
self.ui=Ui_MainWindow()
self.ui.setupUi(self.mainwin)
self.mainwin.show()
So I finally figured out how to hide the current window while opening a new one. This was the code in my case (since I was working with a Form):
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
Form = QtWidgets.QWidget()
ui = Ui_Form()
ui.setupUi(Form)
Form.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
So I used this command to hide the current window:
Form.setVisible(False)
