12.1.10.8.1. Dialog#

The dialog is created from a QDialog, designed in QtDesigner. The dialog already has OK and Cancel buttons whose clicked signal is connected with the accept and reject slot of the dialog. If you show the dialog in a modal way, you can then obtain the result (if OK or Cancel has been clicked). Use deleteOnClose=true such in order to close the dialog once the user pressed OK or Cancel.

from itom import ui



dialog = ui("dialog.ui", ui.TYPEDIALOG)
print("Result of the dialog:", dialog.show(1))  # show a modal dialog

Dialog created from widget. In this case, no terminating buttons are visible. The behaviour is then similar to a main window without the minimize or maximize buttons

dialog_widget = ui("widget.ui", ui.TYPEDIALOG)
dialog_widget.show()

If the dialog should be created from a widget, you can automatically let itom place buttons at the right or bottom side of the widget. Define the title and the role of each button using a dictionary. The roles are taken from Qt (QDialogButtonBox::ButtonRole)

dialog_widget_buttonbar = ui(
    "widget.ui",
    ui.TYPEDIALOG,
    ui.BUTTONBAR_VERTICAL,
    {"AcceptRole": "OK", "RejectRole": "Cancel"},
)
print("Result of the dialog:", dialog_widget_buttonbar.show(1))
