getting all QT/PySide Windows

[Todd Widup]

looking thru MQtUtil and the python, pymel commands, I am not finding anything like lsUI that will actually work with Qt or PySide windows. 

is there anything?

MQtUtil has the findWindow() function. Once you have an actual Qt object, you have access to all the QObject methods like findChild(), findChildren(). What exact query would you like to be able to perform?

I saw findWindow, but it only works, from what I can see, if you know a windows objectName  I was looking for something, where say I have 5 PySide windows open and don't know there names, it would return their names or something like lsUI(windows=True)

There are a number of ways to do this, actually. The lsUI thing from a MEL/Python (non-qt) standpoint is kind of necessary because otherwise you have no real hook into any of the UI system outside of what they expose to you. But once you have access to any of the Qt objects or the Qt framework itself, you can do a lot of different types of introspection directly.

For instance:

from PySide import QtGui

# Print out the title of all non-hidden top-level windows
tops = QtGui.qApp.topLevelWidgets()
for top in tops:
    if top.isWindow() and not top.isHidden():
        print top.windowTitle()

​

You could also get the maya QMainWindow and inspect its children, if you are only concerned with widgets actually parented to the MainWindow.
