Unable to call up an UI within a UI

[likage]

Hi all, sorry if my following question sounds stupid but I am pretty much in a lost, big way!

I have created 2 UIs using the Qt-Designer.

Main UI (anmgToolUI) - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JeZ9rKBC

Sub UI (publishInfoUI) -  http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LK2P8pQ0

And the following is the main code:

Main Code - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Q3Xhk1Qa

And I am using the following to run it in Maya:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/user_data/dev_test/anmg/')
import mainTool
reload(mainTool)
win = mainTool.MigrationUi()
win.show()

So basically what I am trying to achieve here is that, when the MigrationUI is booted, upon clicking on the "Edit Selected" button, it should boot up the sub UI, but sadly it is not in this case.

I did add a print statement within "PublishInfoUI" class, while it is printing and indeed reading it, it does not seems to execute within.

I had needed this sub UI as later on I will need it to display the items selected in the QTreeWidget and mapped it onto the sub UI.

Any pointers?

# anmgToolUI
def editSelected(self): 
    inputWin = PublishInfoUI() 
    inputWin.show()

You are creating that widget without a parent, so it gets garbage collected immediately and you never see it.

Try calling it with:

inputWin = PublishInfoUI(self)
inputWin.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose)
inputWin.show()

That will make sure you don’t leak the window reference when you close it. Or you can do this if you want a modal dialog:

inputWin = PublishInfoUI()
inputWin.exec_()

Hey Justin, this works great!

Just a quick question - if I am to use the solution as mentioned by you, will it be possible/any easy to map the information in my selection from the treeWidget onto the sub UI?

Please ignore my question from my previous post, as I have figure it out.

Thanks again :)

Is this

inputWin.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose)

The same as overriding close method with deleteLater ?

Ya it is effectively the same thing except Qt handles it for you in the closeEvent
