Figured out the "_" thing, guess I should grab working code online. Appears uic.compileUI does use pyuic4
No, it doesnt run everytime an instance is made. Well, plan on making compile Ui files when a py is not found.
Now, the window (partically displayed) is literaly embeded in the top left corner of Maya making it unuseable.
Thanks,

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?

I edited the class below to reference the class for my browser using the following lines of code to show the window:a = Browser()a.show()Two things happen.. first the window does not stay "parented" to the main Maya window and will disappear under Maya.Second... using the compiled version of calculatorform that comes with Qt works fine. However, when I used uic.compileUi to complile the calculatorform.ui. I get the following error:# Error: ... global name '_' is not defined #The compiler added a '_' that doesn't belong. For example:CalculatorForm.setWindowTitle(_( u"Calculator Form"))If I removed the '_', it will open.Also, on a ui that I created I had to comment out the following lines because:test.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)test.setMenuBar(self.menubar)test.setStatusBar(self.statusbar)They cause a Attribute Error such as:# Error: AttributeError ... 'Browser' object has no attribute 'setCentralWidget' #Is there a way to get a compiled version of a Ui to open without having to edit the file?Thanks,-brian---------- Original Message --------

I use multiple inheritance...
import ui_Browser
class Browser(QtGui.QWidget, ui_Browser.Ui_Form):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Browser, self).__init__(parent)
self.setupUi(self)
self.setObjectName('Browser')
self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose)

Trying to get QT Ui file to work in Maya I could use the loadUI
command for example:
import maya.cmds as cmds
dialog = cmds.loadUI(f=r'C:/Python26/Lib/site-packages/PyQt4/examples/
designer/calculatorform/calculatorform.ui')
cmds.showWindow(dialog)
Don't expect the calculator to actually work but the UI opens in Maya.
But, I want to be able to edit UI elements so I used uic.compileUi to
convert the file into a Python file in hopes to make method calls to
add and remove UI elements while the window is open.
The first four lines are:
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
class Ui_CalculatorForm(object):
def setupUi(self, CalculatorForm):
...
At this point I don't know how to call the Ui_CalculatorForm class
method setupUi since it needs a different class called CalculatorForm.
Thanks in advance.
