Using enaml in an existing PyQt app

[Till Stensitzki]

Hi,

I am little bit stumped: is there a way to embed enaml-containers in an existing pyqt app?

If I try `ContainerBasedView.show()` nothing is shown until i put it into a Window.

greetings

Ok, it seems I can get the necessary Qt-widget:

myview = EnamlView(model=model)
myview.initialize()
myview.activate_proxy()
myview.proxy.widget # this is now a QWidget 

But this still looks more complicated then necessary. Is there a better way? And is this robust?

greetings Till

Hi Till

This should indeed always work. It looks more complicated than you can expect since this not the main use case for enaml. Enaml is designed to build full applications and not only widgets that are to be included in a Qt app. 

Note that you can also do the reverse and integrate a Qt widget in an enaml app using RawWidget.

Best regards

Matthieu

Just for completeness since I stumbled over it:

This approach only works after creating a enaml QtApplication. Since QtApplication reuses an existing QApplication, it can be easily added to the code.
