Lidia's post was partially based on my older post
<http://justinfx.com/2011/11/20/mixing-pyqt4-widgets-and-maya-ui-objects/>
for pre-Maya 2017. And in my post I was using sip and the API to show how
to go back from the Maya cmds UI object to Qt again. Is that not needed
anymore? This shortened example doesn't include the second part where one
might be interested in accessing the modelPanel via Qt.
Also, I vaguely remember going the route of getting the full path to the
layout and using that to set it as the parent because of how the parent
hierarchy might have been set up. i.e. If the window was already parented
to the Maya main window, then its full path might be something like
"|MainWindow|MyWindow|MyLayout". So I was ensuring that a fully qualified
UI path was passed to setParent(). Not sure if this matters anymore, or if
its actually causing Lidia the unreliable behaviour since sometimes it
would work and sometimes not depending on the parented objects.
One thing I should have mentioned in my original blog post was the
importance of giving everything object names, since the Maya UI relies on
those for the full paths. And not setting any of those in between can
result in that strange naming of "|MainWindow|Widget|||Something" which
then can't be used in commands since it won't find the control.
