Subject: Re: Some more questions about PyQt in Softimage (addon v1.12)

Right on. Still two things that need smoothing out, although they're
strictly cosmetic:
1) the funky FileBrowser
2) the teeny tiny 'Ok' button in the 'About' dialog. I still don't know
enough about Qt to fix that. I could use a brute force method by
creating a new class for it, which would give me maximum control, but
I'd rather just learn how to manipulate the built-in QMessageBox class
better...

If Softimage is changing the look of the controls in your dialog box in an
unpleasant way, use the method SuspendWin32ControlsHook before creating the
dialog, and call  RestoreWin32ControlsHook afterwards

Now, any Qt experts who can tell me about button sizes for standard

Hey Tim,

Will take a look at some code when im home later, and see if I can help you
with making the button bigger.

Subject: Re: Some more questions about PyQt in Softimage (addon v1.12)

here is how to make a question message box with three different buttons.
For the arguments: parent, title, question, buttons, default button. this
example is not from a softimage plugin but I hope it helps though.

msgBox = QMessageBox()
msgboxReturn = msgBox.question( self, 'Title', 'Question?', QMessageBox.Yes
| QMessageBox.Cancel | QMessageBox.Retry, QMessageBox.Yes )

cheers

Hello!!

For the size of your button I think you could try with

box.setStyleSheet('QPushButton{padding: 100px;}')

or

box.setStyleSheet('QPushButton{height: 100px; width: 100px}')

I don't know if you can manage it without playing with the style sheets.

Bye

you can try this:

        sized_btn.setFixedHeight( 100 )
        mBox = QMessageBox()
        mBox.setText("BOB")
        mBox.addButton(sized_btn, QMessageBox.AcceptRole)
        mBox.setStandardButtons( QMessageBox.Discard | QMessageBox.Cancel)

         mBox.setDefaultButton(sized_btn)
         mBox.exec_()

What that does is allows you to add a QPushButton in place of a standard
button, and allows you to specify the buttons role in the QMessageBox

Button Roles:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmessagebox.html#ButtonRole-enum

hope that is more along the lines of what you were trying to achieve.

Subject: Re: Some more questions about PyQt in Softimage (addon v1.14: fixes button size and adds command to Soft menu)

Thank everyone! Just to follow up...

1. Ana, I had no idea you could set button size and width via CSS. That
worked! To be honest, although Qt classes and methods are well
documented, I've had a hard time finding /comprehensive/ descriptions of
available stylesheet attributes. I've looked at the standard Stylesheet
example page, and a few others here and there, but if there's a complete
list of attributes covered by CSS, I'd love to see it! Simon, I didn't
actually try your solution yet, but that looks like a great idea in case
we need more control.

2. In my testing, I've been launching the tool via hotkey (alt-i in my
case). It wasn't until last night that it hit me: I had not yet
registered this command in a menu anywhere in Softimage! The command now
appears under the /File > Import/ menu.

So a new version (1.14) is ready. I'm attaching the full addon, or if
you have it already installed, I'm also attaching the .py file for easy
updating. Finally, I should point out that this was tested in Soft 2012.
I have 2013 but haven't fully tested it yet. Can anyone tell me if this
works in 2011? And again, just want to say thanks to everyone for
helping me work through this stuff. It's a simple tool, but it's turned
out to be a good learning ground.

-Tim C.

Im not sure what Dev Environment you are using, but if you use eclipse and
install pyDev for it, when you develop for Qt you get auto completion, wich
can be very helpful.

As a matter of fact, Simon, that's the exact setup I use! I especially
like Eclipse's "interactive debugging", for lack of a better term, where
it instantly highlights syntax errors, unused variables, undefinied
variables, etc. Really speeds things up! So many other things to like
about Eclipse too. So far, my workflow is to create a new addon
directory from Soft, then set that as a PyDev project in Eclipse. I
still use Sublime Text 2 every now and then for one-offs, but Eclipse my
main environment.

Subject: Re: Some more questions about PyQt in Softimage (addon v1.14: fixesbutton size and adds command to Soft menu)

That's not a stupid question. I'll answer as best I can. More
experienced people can correct me and add their own voices. The PPG
options in Softimage are substantially more limited than what Qt offers.
And by 'substantially,' I mean not even in the same category. I can't
possibly cover all the differences, but I can hit some practical highlights:

/Under-the-hood stuff:/
- A great variety of signals for defining more specific callbacks (not
limited to on_clicked() or on_changed())
- Model view programming, to efficiently store and share data across
your UI! This is big!
- The full power of the Qt library, which contains over 400 classes.
- UI files created in QtDesigner can be loaded into any app that runs a
Python Qt library (as far as I know). So it's good for more than just
Softimage stuff.
/
Look-and-feel stuff:/
- Tab Widgets anywhere you want. You're not limited to placing them at
the top
- Buttons defined to look any way you like
- Intelligent 'Layouts' that resize their contents elegantly (including
Slider layouts which can be collapsed)
- Dockable widgets
- Tree views!
- Menu bars!
- Status bar!
- Toolbars!
- Extremely detailed control over the design via CSS.

I could go on, but perhaps we need some people to post more examples to
really demonstrate how useful it is.

As Tim wrote, what ever you can imagen you can achieve with Qt, and usualy
extremly rappidly due to the structure of the API. In the past I have
writen entire project tracking systems, and some really fun and interactive
tools.

The only down side to QT is that at the moment if you do develop a plugin
and a user wasnt to run it they have to install a bunch of 3rd party
plugins to get the software to run, but if your willing to do that then you
can have some really great tools.

Subject: Re: Some more questions about PyQt in Softimage (addon v1.14: fixesbutton size and adds command to Soft menu)

Also to note, if you're in a mixed pipeline but need the same tool (asset
loader for example) creating the UI in Qt will keep it consistant across
apps. Recently I ported my renamer tool to PyQt and it looks exactly the
same in Maya as it does in Softimage. Small tweaks to the code obviously
for the actual renaming.

PyQt is a pythonic way of creating UIs as well so if you're familiar with
python programming, creating UIs will feel more natural than the Softimage
PPG widgets. As Tim said above, it's infuriatingly hard to create nicely
spaced UIs in Softimage out of the box.

Also if any of the devs are reading, please can we get a built in PyQt
implementation? Pretty please? If I had a choice as to where my
subscription money went, I'd put it all towards that. :D
