#PYQT KEEP ALL WINDOWS ON TOP INSTALL#

We have chosen to use Python's special feature of multiple inheritance, so that the methods of Ui_MainWindow becomes readily accessible without referring explicitly to Ui_MainWindow. This kind of program stub occurs in many applications. It turns out, we need nothing from the QtCore module at this stage. To run it only needs QMainWindow and QApplication from the QtGui module. The 'program' at this stage does not do anything, though it uses the ui_simple.py which is generated ('compiled') from the simple.ui file. setupUi( self) 16 17 if _name_ = ' _main_ ': 18 app = QApplication( sys. QtGui import ( QMainWindow, QApplication) 8 #from PyQt4.QtCore import * 9 10 from ui_simple import Ui_MainWindow 11 _version_ = ' 0.0.00 ' 12 class MainWindow( QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow): 13 def _init_( self, parent= None): 14 super( MainWindow, self). simple_0/simple.py 3 '''A really simple editor program in PyQt4 - simple.py''' 4 5 import sys 6 7 from PyQt4. Here is the listing:Р”РЋ #!/usr/bin/env python 2 #. The program at this stage is very minimal. This conversion can be achieved simply by using a pyuic4 script as follows: pyuic4 simple.ui > ui_simple.py The information from the Designer is saved in a file with an extension 'ui', so name it simple.ui and is placed in the same directory as the PyQt (and possibly Python) program. In live format, the form can be resized, moved around and eventually closed in the usual manner of GUI windows. A good set of tutorials and other material for learning are supplied with the Qt Designer and there is no real need to 'reinvent the wheel' - please take advantage of that material to learn a little about the Qt Designer. The layout kind of 'glues' the textEdit widget to the Main Window. If it does not, it shows that you forgot to add to the Main Window the 'Layout in a Grid'. When you resize the Main Window, the textEdit widget should also resize automatically.

Please try to resize it after you added the textEdit widget. Conveniently, whilst in Qt Designer ctrl+R shows the form in its 'live', working format. The underlining only appears when the application is displayed. Whilst typing, Designer shows the key pressed. with the result that N in New is underlined. So, for instance, for 'New' we type '&New' and for 'Save As', we type 'Save &As'. In the titles of menu items, one letter should be underlined to indicate an accelerator key. Whilst in the Qt Designer, click on it and enter the items 'New', 'Open', 'Save', 'Save As'. Main Window includes a Title Bar at the top of the form and a Status Bar at the bottom. The image of the application can be easily created and here is a result of a little more than 5 minutes work with it: Qt Designer is a graphical tool that is well explained with superior gui. We start this project in the Qt Designer in which we shall design the main form. (Many thanks to Hans-Peter Jansen for this section of the tutorial and many other valuable suggestions.) They're needed as well, if the packager has split them off.

Watch out for related -devel packages also.

#PYQT KEEP ALL WINDOWS ON TOP INSTALL#

Linux users should install the packages provided by the distribution, which are usually called python-sip, python-qt4, python-qscintilla. (Note: the Qt link is broken at the time of writing, try to use: ) To get a working PyQt development environment. Windows users can get away by installing one of the binary packages fromР”Р„fter installing the corresponding Python 2.* package from Prerequisites: In order to reproduce this tutorial, please install sip4 and PyQt4 from
