PyQT: QDialog and QMainWindow interacting with each other

[Fabian Steiner]

Hello!

I have got a QMainWindow with a QListView, in which the different
entries of a database are shown to the user. Moreover it has got a
QPushButton, so that another QDialog can be opened where the user is
able to add a new entry:

....

self.connect(self.btnNew, SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.openNewDialog)
....

def openNewDialog(self):
dialog = MyDialog(self)
dialog.show()
self.showListViewItems() # this line isn't recognized


MyDialog is closed by calling MyDialog.accept(). What can I do so that
self.showListViewItems() is called after MyDialog has been closed?

Thank you for any input!

Cheers,
Fabian Steiner

Hi Fabian,

override the accept() method and call self.showListViewItems() there.
But remember to call QDialog.accept() at the end.

def accept( self ):
self.showListViewItems()
QDialog.accept( self )

Thank you very much, I got it working
