Unable to click Maya while my UI is open

[Daniel Sidi]

Hi all,

I'm new to this group and I can see there is a lot of knowledge here.

I have a UI which is using PySide2

The UI is loaded like this:

import sys
sys.path.append("V:/projects/coding/teamShirts")

from maya import OpenMayaUI as omui
from shiboken2 import wrapInstance
import teamSelector_main
from PySide2 import QtWidgets

reload(teamSelector_main)

ptr = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
widget = wrapInstance(long(ptr), QtWidgets.QWidget)

d = teamSelector_main.TeamSelectorDialog(widget)
d.exec_()

The UI runs fine and does what I need, but it takes complete control of Maya. I cannot click anything in Maya until I have closed my UI.

My question is: How can I have my UI open and still be able to tumble in the viewport, select objects, etc.

I guess it's something to do with the 'parent' window, but I don't know.

Many thanks!

hello, 

try to use d.show() instead of d.exec_()

Furthermore, make sure you don't have a self.setModal(True) in your UI, or you don't use a widget that is modal by default.

Thanks Vince,

Works perfectly!
