Hi Brain, I believe loadUiType returns a tuple where the 1st Widget is your compiled UI Widget and the second Widget is it's base class. So you need to do...
self.MainTab.addTab(tabForm (), "FooTab") not... self.MainTab.addTab(tabBase(), "FooTab") It does take a while to get used to Qt but the advantages are such that it's worth keeping at it. At the end you'll know a GUI API that is cross platform and Maya independent. - Dave On Sun, Aug 8, 2010 at 4:19 AM, <br...@meljunky.com> wrote: > Using the pastebin example I changed the AddTab method too: > > def AddTab(self, item): > if item.text() == "Foo": > # Add a QWidget to your tab.... self.TabWidget > # use any method here.. uic.loadUiType() or just define your own class's > in this file for each tab. > tabForm ,tabBase = uic.loadUiType(thisDir + "/tab.ui") > self.MainTab.addTab(tabBase(), "FooTab") > > tab.ui is a QWidget based ui.
