Ah, that’s interesting.

qApp  is the actively
running instance of a QApplication; you could alternatively call
QtWidgets.QApplication.instance()
. Maya is bound to
have just one, but it seems that, based on your description, userSetup.py
executes *before* Qt starts running (sometimes?).

I would pass the entire thing, e.g. by wrapping it into a function, through
cmds.evalDeferred or Qt.QtCore.QTimer.singleShot, that should give Qt
enough time to catch up.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: adding text to statusline

[Marcus Ottosson]

I’ve had a look at this just now, and it looks like they’ve gone from using
a QToolBox to simply appending arbitrary widgets to a QLayout.

I don’t blame them, think it should probably have been made that way from
the start, but what it means for us is that there is no adapting this
script to work. It’ll need a rewrite.

It’s possible the alternative approach could work on 2017 *and* lower,
which would be ideal.

I would start looking into grabbing hold of the layout, and adding your
widget (not action) to it.

Here’s a start.

import os
try:
from PySide import QtGui
QtWidgets = QtGuiexcept ImportError:
from PySide2 import QtWidgets, QtGui
# Use this to locate your widget; it will return the# widget currently
under your cursor.# parent =
QtWidgets.qApp.widgetAt(QtGui.QCursor.pos()).objectName()#
parent.objectName()
# Use this once you know the name of it, in this case "toolBar1"# We
can find it as a child of the main window.
window = {o.objectName(): o for o in
QtWidgets.qApp.topLevelWidgets()}["MayaWindow"]
toolbar = window.findChild(QtWidgets.QToolBar, "toolBar1")
if toolbar:
layout = toolbar.layout()else:
layout = window.findChild(QtWidgets.QLayout, "flowLayout1")
assert layout, "Sorry, couldn't find the toolbar."
# Create a random action# NOTE: Not including an icon
action = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Hello")
# Add to the end..# NOTE: Not adding to start
layout.addWidget(action)
# If you need to replace/update it, you can remove it like so.#
action.deleteLater()
# Enjoy!
