If you are using your own custom status bar in a widget, then you have to
connect focus or hover events to something that sets the message on the
status bar. You can set the setStatusTip("") on each widget and then just
read that.
When you use a QMainWindow, the status bar is already wired up for you so
that any time you hover a widget, the statusBar will automatically read the
widgets statusTip():
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
w = QtGui.QMainWindow()
button = QtGui.QPushButton("clicky", w)
button.setStatusTip("I am a clicky")
w.setCentralWidget(button)
status = w.statusBar()
w.show()
w.raise_()
status.showMessage("Welcome to the app!", 5000)
app.exec_()
For the file dialog, the way you are using it, there is a convenience
static method you can call:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qfiledialog.html#getExistingDirectory
It will return an empty string if they cancel:
directory=os.path.expanduser('~')
selectedDir = QtGui.QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(w,
"Select Render Directory", directory)
if selectedDir.isEmpty():
print "No directory selected"
else:
print selectedDir
