I'm trying to make a tool window for Maya, in which I can right-click anywhere, and if I click 'add', a rectangle widget shows up at my cursor position.
Now my right-click functionality works. I can also get my cursor position in addPicker() function. But I am having problem with placing newly-created widgets. If I add a layout and add the newly-created widgets to it, they actually show up. However, if I didn't create a layout for those widgets, no matter what position I tested, nothing shows up in my window.
Hopefully someone has some ideas. Thank you all in advance.
A right-click screenshot:
class RightClickMenu(QtGui.QMenu):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(RightClickMenu, self).__init__(*args)
self.parentWidget().setContextMenuPolicy(QtCore.Qt.CustomContextMenu)
self.parentWidget().customContextMenuRequested.connect(self.menuPos)
def menuPos(self, *args):
self.exec_(QtGui.QCursor.pos())
class Ui_window(object):
def setupUi(self, window):
window.setObjectName("window")
window.resize(555, 900)
self.widget_base = QtGui.QWidget()
self.verticalLayout_window = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(window)
self.verticalLayout_window.addWidget(self.widget_base)
self.menu_popup = RightClickMenu(self.widget_base)
self.menu_popup.setObjectName("popupMenu")
self.verticalLayout_widget = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self.widget_base)
# Action - add picker
addAction = QtGui.QAction('Add Picker', self.widget_base)
addAction.setShortcut('Ctrl+A')
addAction.setStatusTip('Add Picker')
addAction.triggered.connect(self.addPicker)
self.menu_popup.addAction(addAction)
# Action - delete picker
deleteAction = QtGui.QAction('Delete Picker', self.widget_base)
deleteAction.setShortcut('Ctrl+D')
deleteAction.setStatusTip('Delete Picker')
deleteAction.triggered.connect(self.deletePicker)
self.menu_popup.addAction(deleteAction)
def addPicker(self):
cursorPos = QtGui.QCursor.pos()
localPos = self.widget_base.mapFromGlobal(cursorPos)

# how??? below doesn't work.
self.pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton(self.widget_base)
self.pushButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(220, 50, 75, 23))
self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
def deletePicker(self):
print 'delete'
def run():
import sys
try:
Ui_window.close()
except:
pass
pickerWindow = QtGui.QDialog()
ui = Ui_window()
ui.setupUi(pickerWindow)
pickerWindow.show()
pickerWindow.exec_()
