To parent your window you well need to get the Maya main window and pass
that in as the parent widget
> 2011
def GetMayaMainWindow():
'''
:returns: The QtWidget that pertains to the Maya Main Window
'''
import maya.OpenMayaUI as mui
import sip
ptr = mui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
if ptr:
return sip.wrapinstance(long(ptr), QtCore.QObject)
Then pass the resulting QWidget into your class
eg
a = Browser(GetMayaMainWindow())
I don't know about uic.compileUI as I pre compile all my ui files with the
pyuic4.exe from the command line.
Well, not exactly. I wrote a PyQt ui to browser and convert them on double
click using os.system
cmd = 'pyuic4 %s > %s' % (DesignFile, OutPutFile)
os.system(cmd)
To be honest, it was on of the 1st things I did so I've never looked at
another way to convert files. Does your method convert each and every time
you make an instance?
