Re: [Maya-Python] Drawing/Adding QWidgets on top of Maya's Viewport

[Justin Israel]

There was a question like this a while back, and I think the conclusion was that it is a bit more complicated:

Hello,

I am currently trying to add QWidgets on to Maya's viewport so that we can effectively divide it into regions (probably going to use QFrames for the actual QWidget) however I am running into an issue with creating them.  Whenever I create a widget on the viewport it's background is black and none of the methods that I have tried for making the widget's background transparent have done anything.  The basic test case that I have been using is:

import maya.OpenMayaUI as omui
from PySide import QtCore
from PySide import QtGui
from shiboken import wrapInstance

def maya_main_window():
    main_window_ptr = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
    return wrapInstance(long(main_window_ptr), QtGui.QWidget)

def active_view():
    view = omui.M3dView.active3dView()
    return wrapInstance(long(view.widget()), QtGui.QWidget)

def add_QFrame():
    frame = QtGui.QFrame(parent = active_view())
    frame.setStyleSheet("background-color: transparent;");
    frame.show()
    return frame

if __name__ == "__main__":
    frame = add_QFrame()

In addition to setting the style sheet I have tried:
setAutoFillBackground(false);


Thank you very much
