What I'm trying to do is create 1 window with 8 check boxes. The user will click the ones that are relevant and press "Calculate Job". That button should then open a new window that contains buttons/sections/whatever for only the options that were selected in window 1. Sounds ok... I have window 1 set up in class First. When I click the button it shows up the new window, great! But now I need to find a way to say "If any of these sections are selected then do something in window 2".
code:
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
import sys
import qdarkstyle
class First(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(First, self).__init__(parent)
self.title = 'Job Price Calculator'
self.left = 100
self.top = 100
self.width = 320
self.height = 350
self.initUI()
self.dialog = Second()
def initUI(self):
self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
self.data_processing = QtWidgets.QCheckBox('Data Processing', self)
self.data_processing.move(50, 50)
self.digital_print = QtWidgets.QCheckBox('Digital Print', self)
self.digital_print.move(50, 100)
self.calculate = QtWidgets.QPushButton('Calculate Job', self)
self.calculate.move(100, 250)
self.calculate.clicked.connect(self.on_button_click)
def on_button_click(self):
self.dialog.show()
class Second(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Second, self).__init__(parent)
self.title = 'Job Specification'
self.left = 500
self.top = 100
self.width = 1080
self.height = 920
self.initUI_specification()
def initUI_specification(self):
self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
self.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet_pyqt5())
if self.data_processing.isChecked():
self.data_processing_info()
if self.digital_print.isChecked():
self.digital_print_info()
def data_processing_info(self):
self.temp_button = QtWidgets.QPushButton('Temp Button', self)
self.temp_button.move(100, 250)
def digital_print_info(self):
self.temp_button2 = QtWidgets.QPushButton('Temp Button 2', self)
self.temp_button2.move(100, 450)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
main = First()
main.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
So what I want to do in class 'Second' is use the checkbox variable of self.data_processing to check if it has been enabled, if it has then I want to pull up a button in the Second gui window.
Is what I'm trying to do possible? Should I be thinking of a different way to do this? I'd like someones opinion on this if possible, and a little bit of guidance. I'd really appreciate the help, I've spent my whole weekend messing around with this and I'm just getting nowhere.
