@Panupat Actually, no I don't go into this specifically in my PyQt chapter. You do however see the example of how to use sip and MQtUtil to get the reference to the Maya MainWindow. I was trying really hard not to cross a certain threshold of difficulty in my examples for that video, not to mention that the PyQt section was considered a bonus chapter. I would love to make another video completely dedicated to PyQt at some point and spend much more time on the finer details.
@Kurian Thats pretty strange. Its complaining that a QDialog doesn't want to accept a 'parent' argument in its init. Out of curiosity, what version of PyQt are you using? from PyQt4 import QtCore; print QtCore.PYQT_VERSION_STR And this is for Maya 2012? I updated the example to not pass in the parent by keyword, but rather by just the 1st argument: Line 14: super(MyDialog, self).__init__(parent, **kwargs) See if that makes a difference for you? It still seems strange to me. Even Qt 4.5.x (which is the version maya 2011 uses) accepts that form of an __init__ signature. Interested to know if that small change fixes your problem. -- justin On Nov 20, 2011, at 9:20 PM, Kurian O.S wrote: > Hi Justin, > > thanks for the example man , this is so cool and when I try to run , I got > this > > # Error: 'parent' is not a Qt property or a signal > # Traceback (most recent call last): > # File "<maya console>", line 9, in <module> > # File "<maya console>", line 14, in __init__ > # AttributeError: 'parent' is not a Qt property or a signal # > > any idea ? > > On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 9:45 AM, Panupat Chongstitwattana > <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow Justin.
