Stackable Windows PyQt - maemo.org

I have been looking for examples on how to do stackable windows using pyqt.. I found the following on this forum:

Code:

class StackedWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        apply(QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__, (self, ) + args)
        self.setWindowTitle("Stacked Window")
        centralwidget = QtGui.QWidget(self)
        frame = QtGui.QFrame(centralwidget)
        verticalLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(frame)
        pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton("Push Button 1", frame)
        verticalLayout.addWidget(pushButton)
        pushButton_2 = QtGui.QPushButton("Push Button 2", frame)
        verticalLayout.addWidget(pushButton_2)
        lineEdit = QtGui.QLineEdit(frame)
        verticalLayout.addWidget(lineEdit)
        lineEdit_2 = QtGui.QLineEdit(frame)
        verticalLayout.addWidget(lineEdit_2)
        self.setCentralWidget(centralwidget)

This does indeed create a new window with widgets on it, however I want the window to be stackable so it has a back button top right rather than a close button which the above produces.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

On a side note, what's the best way of showing results that you may want to click on (think witter or facebrick style), I'm using a qtextbrowser at the minute and its not exactly what i'm after.

Edit: Also is there a way of creating the secondary window in Qt Designer and including the ui somehow?

Thanks

Thanks pete.fu

It was the:

Code:

self.setAttribute(Qt.WA_Maemo5StackedWindow, True)

I needed to add in both windows, but I also needed to import

Code:

from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt

For it to work! hopefully will help someone else out!

I do have 2 more questions though, the answers seem hard to find in python (or at least to find good examples).

1) How do you do a drop down menu on the top menu bar (so like for config so I can write the configuration to a .conf file)

2) What is the widget used to show posts which you can cilck on (similar to facebrick, witter etc). Im using qtextbrowser which is quite useless.

Also this works for me:

Code:

self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_Maemo5StackedWindow, True)

The Menubar is a bit more complicated as it entirely depends on what you want to do

Healthcheck just uses the following and adds buttons to the menu using the following code

Code:

                fremantle = MainWindow.menuBar().addMenu("Update");
		act = fremantle.addAction("All")
		QtCore.QObject.connect(act, QtCore.SIGNAL("triggered()"), self.updateAll)
		actb = fremantle.addAction("System")
		QtCore.QObject.connect(actb, QtCore.SIGNAL("triggered()"), self.updateTab1)
		actc = fremantle.addAction("Comms")
		QtCore.QObject.connect(actc, QtCore.SIGNAL("triggered()"), self.updateTab2)

(Actually changed it to one button since, but you get the idea)

A few good places too look for the menu are :

Send a msg to w00t_ about the other question though or ask in the facebrick thread

- just asked him on irc - but he may be asleep or just busy

Ah, in QT Designer I remember deleting the 'MenuBar' bit thinking I didn't need it, but looking at your code it looks like I do, so i'll have to add that back in, then I can try your code above.

adding that to the code should work just fine, but i dont get along too well with QT designer, hehe
