Here is what I would suggest.. Create your splitter widget as a custom widget; lets call it LightItem Install the LightItem as the event filter for the QLineEdit. You would do that in your LightItem class with self.theLineEdit.installEventFilter(self) Create the eventFilter() method (see QObject), and have it watch for a KeyPress on the QLineEdit. If it is key UP or key DOWN, emit a custom signal. Lets call it moveItemRequested(int) , where int is either Qt.Key_Up or Qt.Key_Down. You can either also have that signal send the reference to the LightItem widget, or, refer to self.sender() in the receiving slot later. Now your custom LightItem emits a custom signal for a key up or down When you loop over the lights (for i in lightTransforms)... Create a new LightItem for that light connect the LightItem.moveItemRequested() to a slot that will handle any item moves. Lets call it moveLightItem(direction). moveLightItem(direction) will receive either Qt.Key_Up or Qt.Key_Down. And if you also passed the reference to the LightItem object emitting the signal, you will have that. Or you can check it with self.sender() Get the current index of the widget with QVBoxLayout.indexOf(theLightItem) If the key was UP, move the LightItem with QVBoxLayout.insertWidget(max(cur_index-1, 0), theLightItem)) If the key was DOWN, move the lightItem with QVBoxLayout.insertWidget(min(cur_index+1, layout.count()-1))
Hope that helps. Let me know if you get stuck on any of the specific code. -- justin On Oct 8, 2012, at 6:21 PM, Berg Jones wrote: > I'm looking for an easy way to move dynamically created splitter widgets > within a vertical layout in pyqt.
