using qt with classes basic window - iFunKtion - Feb-06-2017
Hi there,
really struggling here, so I am going back to basics to try and work out why none of this is working. So I can create a complete application and it will work, but at the expense of readable reusable code.
How can I get a simple window to work please:
#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class Window(QtGui.QDialog):
'''top level window'''
def __init__(self, parent=None):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)
self.setGeometry(0, 0, 1920, 1080)
self.home()
def home(self):
'''Defines the main application view for data input'''
self.lbl = QtGui.QLabel("Hello World", self)
self.lbl.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(80, 30, 1161, 101))
self.show
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
main_window = Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())What am I doing wrong, Nothing shows up when run, and the only way to get out of it is to close the Terminal window as even ctrl-C won't stop the script.Ok after going through my original code that worked and commenting out over 500 lines one by one, it appears that I missed off the parentheses after self.show it should be:
self.show()Solved.
