I am new to python and I am trying to rewrite a GUI with PyQt5. The GUI I made was writen with Tkinter. I am using frames in order to bring up different pages. With Tkinter I succeeded to get pages to the front with tkraise() function. But with PyQt5 it seems as if the function gets ignored.
The file is a test file where I try different things befor adding it to my main file. In the Dothing function I added a print("yes") function to see if it enters the function and it does, but it's not using the raise_() function somehow.
Could anybody explain me what I did wrong or maybe send me a link adress for more information so I search myself. I have already looked on the website of QT and other forums but I couldn't find a answer.
My file looks like this:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QWidget, QGridLayout, QPushButton, QApplication, QFrame, QLabel, QColorDialog)
from PyQt5.QtGui import (QColor)
Lijst = ["Ferri", "Yvonne", "Ineke"] # , "Sidneger", "Deniel", "Tobie", "Nicol"
class Test(QWidget):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__()
self.List = [(255,0,0), (0,255,0), (0,0,255)]
# self.List = Lijst
# container = QFrame(self)
self.setGeometry(300,300,300,300)
self.Frames = {}
for F in (self.List):
selected_color = QColor(F[0],F[1],F[2])
self.frame = QFrame(self)
self.frame.setStyleSheet("QWidget { background-color: %s}" % selected_color.name())
self.frame.setGeometry(100, 0, 300, 300)
Framas = Pages(self.frame, self, selected_color)
self.Frames[F] = Framas
def DoThing(self):
self.Frames[(255, 0, 0)].raise_()
print("yes")
pass
def DoThing2(self):
self.Frames[(0, 255, 0)].raise_()
pass
def DoThing3(self):
self.Frames[(0, 0, 255)].raise_()
pass
class Pages(QFrame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller, selected_color, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__()
self.controller = controller
self.frame = parent
self.button = QPushButton("Change", self.frame) # adding frame as parent
self.button.move(10, 10)
self.button.clicked.connect(self.controller.DoThing)
self.button2 = QPushButton("Change2", self.frame)
self.button2.move(10, 50)
self.button2.clicked.connect(self.controller.DoThing2)
self.button3 = QPushButton("Change3", self.frame)
self.button3.move(10, 90)
self.button3.clicked.connect(self.controller.DoThing3)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
Test_window = Test()
Test_window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Having the source of the original code is difficult to know exactly what you require. So I'll try to help you with what I can.
First you must use only one QFrame, you for each iteration are creating 2: the QFrame that you set the color and the other the Page.
Secondly you are using raise_() on the Page since you add the page to the dictionary, but the Page does not have the color, but the other QFrame.
