I'm newbie. I want to click a pushButton to open a new window and take text from main window lineEdit and copy to new pop-up window lineEdit.
So far I an create new window but can't access lineEdit. No errors, app is not responding.
This is what I have:
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5 import uic
app = QApplication([]) #Main Window
ui = uic.loadUi(r"D:\UI_test\gui\main_gui_TT.ui")
appedit = QApplication([]) #Pop-up
uiedit = uic.loadUi(r"D:\UI_test\gui\input_TT.ui")
def edit1():
uiedit.show()
appedit.exec_()
uiedit.lineEdit_CC.setText('text') <-this line is a problem
ui.pushButton_1edit.pressed.connect(edit1)
ui.show()
app.exec_()
Please help what is wrong here?
You should only have a single QApplication even if you have many windows, considering the above the solution is:
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5 import uic
app = QApplication([]) # Main Window
ui = uic.loadUi(r"D:\UI_test\gui\main_gui_TT.ui")
uiedit = uic.loadUi(r"D:\UI_test\gui\input_TT.ui")
def edit1():
uiedit.show()
uiedit.lineEdit_CC.setText("text")
ui.pushButton_1edit.pressed.connect(edit1)
ui.show()
app.exec_()
