Hello David,
To create a popup window with a complex layout, you should create a
custom Python class which inherits from QWidget and has the QLayout and
widgets that you want. You cannot use a plain unmodified QInputDialog
because it is too simple, you need to create a custom class to represent
the popup window. In the code below, class MainWindow is the main window
and class PopupWindow is the popup, and both inherit from QDialog.
This is a full working example:

import sys
import os
from PySide.QtCore import *
from PySide.QtGui import *
class MainWindow(QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.setWindowTitle("Main Window")
self.top_label = QLabel("Middle of main window")
self.bottom_button = QPushButton("Add Name")
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(self.top_label)
layout.addWidget(self.bottom_button)
self.setLayout(layout)
self.connect(self.bottom_button, SIGNAL("clicked()"),
self.button_clicked)
def button_clicked(self):
self.popup_window = PopupWindow(self)
self.popup_window.show()
class PopupWindow(QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(PopupWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.setWindowTitle("Popup Window")
layout = QGridLayout()
line1 = QLabel("What is your first name?")
layout.addWidget(line1, 0, 0)
self.line1_edit = QLineEdit()
layout.addWidget(self.line1_edit, 0, 1)
line2 = QLabel("What is your occupation?")
layout.addWidget(line2, 1, 0)
self.line2_edit = QLineEdit()
layout.addWidget(self.line2_edit, 1, 1)
line3 = QLabel("How many years have you had this job?")
layout.addWidget(line3, 2, 0)
self.line3_edit = QLineEdit()
layout.addWidget(self.line3_edit, 2, 1)
line4 = QLabel("Do you want email?")
layout.addWidget(line4, 3, 0)
self.line4_checkbox = QCheckBox()
layout.addWidget(self.line4_checkbox, 3, 1)
self.setLayout(layout)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
main_window = MainWindow()
main_window.resize(400, 400)
main_window.show()
# The .raise_() brings the window to the foreground, in front of other
windows
main_window.raise_()
app.exec_()
sys.exit()
Good luck,

Sorry in advance, this is all very new to me.
I'm working with Windows 7, Python 2.6, PySide 1.1.0 and QT Creator 2.4.1.
I acquired a project where the GUI was written in QT Creator, it is a
glorified NotePad/Editor.
It has a text menu and an icon menu.
So here is the question:
How do I click on an icon and get a window to pop up with
multiple questions, asked of the user?
I have been able to click an icon and use QInputDialog to get a popup
and give a single question or multiple popup's one after the other
with a single question, but I can't figure out how to get a single
window to popup with multiple questions.
i.e. Click Add Name
What is you first name: *input text*
What is you occupation?: *input text*
How many years have you been at this job?: *input text*
Check box if you want email: *check box*
