I have a ui which was created using "Qt Designer". Then pysideuic.compileUi() was used to convert the ".ui" file to ".py" file. It successfully loads in Maya. How to parent a new outliner to one of its widget.

I think this is an example using PyQt but I can't do the same using PySide: Maya Outliner in Pyqt doesn't charge

Please let me know if you need more detail on the question.

Thanks,

Turns out layouts are not considered widgets in Qt, but they are in Maya!

So when we want to get a panel from a window created in QtDesigner, we need to pass the name of the layout attached to a widget, not the name of the widget itself.

ptr = getCppPointer(self.ui.vl_outliner)
panel = omui.MQtUtil.fullName(long(ptr[0]))
cmds.setParent(panel)

In code above, vl_outliner is the name of the vertical layout attached to QFrame, not the name of QFrame itself.
