Add custom attribute to QCheckBox widget
You can just subclass the QCheckBox class. For example: class MyCheckBox(QtGui.QCheckBox): def __init__(self, my_param, *args, **kwargs): QtGui.QCheckBox.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs) self.custom_param = my_param Here we override the __init__ method which is called automatically when you instantiate the class. We add an extra parameter my_param to the signature and then collect any...
How to save a treeview as pdf in PySide/PyQt?
According to the docs, the variant of QWidget.render that has a QPainter as its first parameter expects a mandatory targetOffset of type QPoint as its second parameter. If I add an empty point it works for me (although the tree widget is printed very small). painter.begin(printer) try: self.view.render(painter, QtCore.QPoint()) finally:...

pyqt - Automatically update widget on user input
The normal way of adding widgets to a Qt application is to use layouts. They will calculate the preferred size and location of your widgets and update this when needed, e.g. when widgets are added or when the window is resized (note what happens when you make your window smaller...
How use PyQt without GUI?
If you need the Qt EventLoop without a GUI you can use QCoreApplication instead of QApplication: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qcoreapplication.html From the docs: The QCoreApplication class provides an event loop for console Qt applications. This class is used by non-GUI applications to provide their event loop. For non-GUI application that uses Qt, there...
How to put a child window inside a main window(PyQt)
I found a way. I used self.show() instead of dialog.show() and self.mdiAreainstead of window.mdiArea. Now I close the window and show it again with the widgets I want. I want to find a way to just "refresh" the window. But this is subject for another topic. Thanks a lot guys....
PyQt Not updating label
You might need to force processing of events after changing the label text. Try adding: QApplication.processEvents() after setting the label text. Please note that for a reason not known to me, PyQt and PySide both tend to have problems with processEvents, which sometimes needs to be executed multiple times to...
PyQt4 - How to shrink the layout on Mac OSX?
To reduce the space between the widgets you can use QBoxLayout.setSpacing(). About the size of the buttons, you could try to adjust it by setting the margin or padding with style sheets. Personally I would set the stretch of the bt_bookmark to 0 (hbox_layout.addWidget(bt_bookmark, stretch=0)) and the stretch factor of...
Python crashes using pyqt, setPixmap and QLabel
Strange, for me (Win7, 64-bit) the cut off size is closer to 300. I don't know why it behaves like this but in my case I can fix it by calling processEvents on the application, like this: class PixmapTest(QtGui.QWidget): def __init__(self, app): super(PixmapTest, self).__init__() self.app = app imglayout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout(self)...
How do I compile QScintilla and Eric6 on Linux?
python,linux,compilation,pyqt,qscintilla
The main problem is that you are linking against Qt4 rather than Qt5. This is why the QAbstractScrollArea and QPrinter headers are reported as missing, and why you later get the undefined symbol error. QScintilla uses a features file to control compile-time configuration, and its sources need to be patched...

PyQt5: QTimer out of sync after minimizing window (OSX)
This is probably related to a feature of OS X called "AppNap" which will aggressively reduces timer triggering, and syncs them even between apps, to conserve battery life.

How to switch between two windows in python using PyQt
The instance of the settings window is local to the MainWindow.ShowSettings method. As such, it is quickly garbage collected because nothing keeps a reference to the window. You can fix this in two ways. The first is to specify a parent of the settings window when it is instantiated. The...

python,pyqt,qgraphicsview,qgraphicsscene
Your current code has two instances of a QGraphicsScene created inside View.__init__. One is a standard QGraphicsScene and the other is your subclass Action. But your view can only be attached to one scene, so one of these is redundant and not functioning correctly. You have attached it to the...
PyQt: QDataWidgetMapper mapping for custom property
python,pyqt,pyqt5,qabstractitemmodel
The model will be updated when the radio-button option changes, but only if return or enter is pressed. The reason for this, is that the data-mapper uses an item-delegate to notify changes to the model, and this item-delegate installs an event-filter on every widget that is mapped. But the event-filter...
Inserting multiple QCheckBox into QTableWidget odd rows
python,pyqt,pyside,qtablewidget,qtablewidgetitem
This basic script creates an UI containing a 160*10 QTable and a QPushButton. Every odd row, a checkbox is added in the cell of the 10th column. Clicking on the button displays a list of the state of all checkboxes. States: 0: Unchecked 2: Checked There is a state 1...
Line edits at 0 when not used? PyQt
Your code is going to raise an exception whenever the user enters anything that's not a number—including nothing at all. The nicest way to handle this is by validating the entry (and pre-filling it with something valid, like 0), so they can't click OK with something invalid in the box....
how to get the default size of a window in pyqt4
QWidget.sizeHint holds the recommended size for the widget. It's default implementation returns the layout's preferred size if the widget has a layout. So if your dialog has a layout, just use sizeHint to get the recommended size which is the default one.

Pyqt Embedding Graphics object in Widget
Your issue is that you don't specify a parent for the QGridLayout (in the mainWindowWidget class), so it isn't attached to a widget. This results in the layout (and all widgets contained within it) not being visible. Adding a parent to the layout reveals a second problem in that you...
The event loop is already running

Start a function from a thread. (GUI thread and QThread errors)
python,multithreading,process,pyqt,qthread
Generally, it is okay to call functions from other threads. But many GUI libraries (QT is among them) have some restrictions on this behavior.

PyQT: draw a QPainterPath() in rect?
Well, answering myself for the first part of the question: it's not the path that should be changed but the painter, you can save its state then translate,scale it etc... then draw your path and restore its state afterwards. E.g.: painter.save() painter.translate(0,-self.squareSize) painter.scale(factor, -factor) painter.fillPath(glyph, Qt.black) painter.restore() ...

The GUI is not updated/drawn until control is returned to the Qt event loop. The event loop runs in the main thread, and is what handles interactions with the GUI and coordinates the signals/slot system. When you call a Qt function in a slot like clickStop1(), the Qt call runs,...
Casting a QObject subclass instance
All the methods Screenshot inherits from QPixmap will return a QPixmap, so you need to explicitly create and return an instance of Screenshot instead. The only real issue is to avoid inefficient copying. However, QPixmap provides a very fast copy-constructor for doing just that, so all you need is something...
Qt Widget with slider

How to get groups and roles of a QPalette in PyQt/PySide?
This can be done with standard python introspection techniques: for name in dir(QtGui.QPalette): if isinstance(getattr(QtGui.QPalette, name), QtGui.QPalette.ColorGroup): print(name) and the same can be done with QtGui.QPalette.ColorRole. But note that this will produce a few extra items that you might not be expecting. There are NColorGroups and NColorRoles. which give the...
QGraphicsView vector edit: update path when moving node – properly?
python,qt,pyqt,vector-graphics,qgraphicsview

PyQT Qtabwidget hide and close certain tab
You can remove the close button of the tabs that should not be closed. This is done by with the function setTabButton of QTabBar, like this: QtGui.QTabWidget.tabBar().setTabButton(0, QtGui.QTabBar.RightSide,None) Here, we set the button of the first tab to be None. With the same function, you could also create your own...
PyQt QVariant with dictionary
PyQt will try to convert to the corresponding C++ type if it can. For a dict, this means a QMap - but only if all the keys are strings. Otherwise, it just wraps a reference to the original dict (i.e. there is no implicit copying). For a list, the conversion...

How can I center a label in the center of a QWizardPage?
Add your label in between two spacer items. Your vertical layout should also be laid out in its parent widget so it takes full size of the parent. QSpacerItem* verticalSpacer1 = new QSpacerItem(20, 40, QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Expanding); label = new QLabel(Form); label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter); QSpacerItem* verticalSpacer2 = new QSpacerItem(20, 40, QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Expanding); verticalLayout->addItem(verticalSpacer1);...
pyqt gui locked when calling cython function from QThread.run
python,user-interface,pyqt,cython,qthread
Due to the GIL (global interpretter lock) only one Python instance can execute at once. How Python chooses to share time between threads depends a bit on the version of Python but it's substantially based on how many Python bytecodes have been executed (see https://docs.python.org/3.0/library/sys.html#sys.setcheckinterval). I'd guess that since Cython...
PyQt ToolTip for QTreeView
As you are using the QStandardItem and QStandardItemModel classes (which is what I would recommend!) you don't need to bother with the TreeModel class you have found. Creating your own model is rarely necessary, but for some reason tutorials often encourage you to do so. If you find something encouraging...
PyQt4: set a default font?

PyQt 3.3.6: How to align text in a table?
I understand that the characters used for the thousands separator and the decimal mark may differ between locales, but surely no locale could sensibly interpret 5.5.5 as a number? Given that, it's hardly surprising that Qt wants to treat it as ordinary text. But anyway, the docs for QTableItem suggest...

Refreshing a QWidget
To update the widget, you should repaint() it, but calling repaint() directly is not very good, so try: widget.update() From doc: This function does not cause an immediate repaint; instead it schedules a paint event for processing when Qt returns to the main event loop. This permits Qt to optimize...
PyQT4 Datetime widget
The problem is you're expecting a QtGui.Widget behaves as a QtGui.QLabel, your label_datetame class is not a QLabel, is a QWidget since its inherits from it.

How to override Pyqt combobox ItemText method so it returns default python string instead of QString?

You could just subclass QComboBox: class MyComboBox(QtGui.QComboBox): def itemText(self, index): return str(super(MyComboBox, self).itemText(index)) Note however that you may run into trouble if your combobox contains non-Ascii characters. Or you could try monkey-patching, but that is just plain ugly: def foo(combo): def wrapper(index): return str(QtGui.QComboBox.itemText(combo, index)) return wrapper _ui.ComboBox.itemText = foo(_ui.ComboBox)...

Pyqt: Graphics view next to another widget
You are forgetting to call the setLayout method after you've created the layouts. So in your mainWindowWidget.initScene method it should say: self.layout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout(self) self.setLayout(self.layout) Also add a setLayout to the sidePannel.initUI method and it should work. BTW: there is no need to define all your attributes as class attributes....
PyQt, Python 3: Lambda slot assigning signal argument to a variable?

PyQt4 setParent vs deleteLater
Probably the easiest way to see what's actually going on is to step through things in an interactive session: >>> parent = QtGui.QWidget() >>> child = QtGui.QWidget() >>> layout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout(parent) >>> layout.addWidget(child) >>> child.parent() is layout False >>> child.parent() is parent True So the layout does not become the...
PyQt SimpleHTTPServer: GUI freezes on starting server

Port C++ class to PyQt
The code defines a constructor for the DocumentWidget class, which inherits QLabel and requires a QWidget as parent.

What's the difference between @pyqtSignature() and @pyqtSlot() pyqt decorators
The pyqtSignature decorator is part of the old-style signal and slot syntax, which was replaced by the new-style signal and slot syntax in PyQt-4.5. Both decorators serve the same purpose, which is to explicitly mark a python method as a Qt slot and specify a C++ signature for it (most...
