I am quite new to Python and Qt and need very urgently advice on how
to update Qt progressBar while executing a process. I have went thrugh
number of 'google' stuff and saw different solution, hence none worked
for me. The best idea I have seen is the usage of QThread and emiting
signal from thread to MainWindow. I do not know however why the code I
have written is not working. Most likely a stupid 'beginner related'
error but as far as I am beginner I can't get it. There is a code
below:
#!/opt/local/bin/python2.6
import os
import sys
import time
from PyQt4 import QtCore
from PyQt4 import QtGui
from uiTest import Ui_MainWindow
class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
self.ui=Ui_MainWindow()
self.ui.setupUi(self)
self.connect(self.ui.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked()"),
self.runWorker)
def runWorker(self):
self.worker = Worker()
self.connect(self.worker, QtCore.SIGNAL("progressUpdated"),
self.updateWorkerProgress)
self.worker.start()
def updateWorkerProgress(self, min, max, progress):
self.ui.progressBar.setMinimum = min
self.ui.progressBar.setMaximum = max
self.ui.progressBar.setValue = progress
self.ui.progressBar.repaint()
#print min, progress, max
class Worker(QtCore.QThread):
__pyqtSignals__ = ("progressUpdated")
def __init__(self):
QtCore.QThread.__init__(self)
self.min = 0
self.max = 1000
self.progress = 0
def run(self):
for self.progress in range(self.min, self.max):
self.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL("progressUpdated"), self.min,
self.max, self.progress)
time.sleep(0.005)
def main():
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
the uiTest is generated by pyuic4 and for reference can be found
