How to parent Qt widget with maya – Windows

Hello All,

This a very small issue mostly windows people come across while using Qt.

Basically If you have created a widget in designer(assuming person knows how to use Qt Designer),

converted with command line or from inside of maya to python (ui to py) – output_2.py

PySide2: ui to py(from inside of maya and not black terminal or blue or any color)

to inherit the output_2.py class in another class.

Please check the below approach and this should come in handy.

Non-Parented version of ui

import sys
sys.path.append("D:\\All_Projs\\Qt_Designer_Proj\\ui_to_maya_testing")
from output_2 import Ui_Form
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
from PySide2 import QtGui

class Trial(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Trial, self).__init__()
        self.ui = Ui_Form()
        self.ui.setupUi(self)

window = Trial()
window.show()

2 tabs for non parented ui (in the bottom)

Parented version of ui

from PySide2 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
import sys
sys.path.append("D:\\All_Projs\\Qt_Designer_Proj\\ui_to_maya_testing\\")
from output_2 import Ui_Form
import maya.OpenMayaUI as omui
from shiboken2 import wrapInstance


ptr = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
ptr_instance = wrapInstance(long(ptr), QtWidgets.QWidget)


class Widget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Widget, self).__init__(parent)
        
        self.setParent(ptr_instance)
        self.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.Window)
        
        self.ui = Ui_Form()
        self.ui.setupUi(self)
        
        

def main():
    app = Widget()
    app.show()

main()

no tabs for non parented ui (in the bottom)

This is one of the approach that i am aware of, i had read it on a site, but I lost the site. If you have any other approach do let me know.

Have a Qt day.
