Pyside UI dropping behind maya main UI

[Jakob Kousholt]

Hi,

So I am slowly getting the hang of pyside, but a thing I have postponed too long is to figure out how to make the UI sit on top of mayas main UI like every other UI inside of maya. So far my code is this: (any other unrelated tips on a better boileterplate is most welcome too)

from PySide2 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets

from shiboken2 import wrapInstance

import maya.OpenMayaUI as omui

def maya_main_window():

    main_window_ptr = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()

    return wrapInstance(long(main_window_ptr), QtWidgets.QWidget)

    

class gSubmission(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):

    

    def __init__(self, parent=maya_main_window()):

        super(gSubmission, self).__init__(parent)

        

        self.setWindowTitle("Temp")

        

    

if __name__ == "__main__":

    

    try:

        ui.close()

    except:

        pass

        

    ui = gSubmission()

    ui.show()

Which version of Maya and which operating system are you using? Setting the parent to the Maya main window, the way you are doing, should result in the window staying above Maya (tested on Linux/Maya 2018). However it won't force it to stay above every single child window in Maya.

Hey Justin,

Arh, I see. I was trying on mac, but it seems to be working as I intend on Windows 10. Maya version is 2018 in both cases. Any idea how I can make it work on mac too? Thanks
