multiple subwindow with same widget QMdiSubwindow


i want to change object in all my subwindows this is my code

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    count = 0
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
        self.mdi = QMdiArea()
        self.setCentralWidget(self.mdi)
        bar = self.menuBar()

        file = bar.addMenu("Subwindow")
        file.addAction("New")
        file.addAction("Change Text")
        file.triggered[QAction].connect(self.click)
        self.setWindowTitle("Multiple window using MDI")

    def click(self,action):
        print("New sub window")
        if action.text() == "New":
            MainWindow.count = MainWindow.count + 1
            sub = QMdiSubWindow()
            sub.setWidget(QTextEdit())
            sub.setWindowTitle("subwindow" + str(MainWindow.count))
            self.subwindow = self.mdi.addSubWindow(sub)
            self.subwindow.show()
            self.label3 = QtWidgets.QLabel(sub)
            self.label3.setGeometry(10, 80, 500, 10)
            self.label3.setText('Default')
            self.label3.show()
        if action.text() == "Change Text":
            for i in self.mdi.subWindowList():
                label1 = QtWidgets.QLabel(i)
                label1.setGeometry(10,50,500,10)
                label1.setText(str(i))
                label1.show()
                self.label3.setText('TRUE')
                print(i)

def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = MainWindow()
    ex.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

but it's always the last creating order subwindow that changes https://i.sstatic.net/DjZtf.png

how to change item in every subwindow? how to change text table in subwindow i want with over 10 subwindow?


Solution

  • Right now your label3 is stored in MainWindow, so when you cycle through your subwindows you just change the latest label. You can store it in each subwindow like this:

    import sys
    from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
    from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
    
    
    class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
        count = 0
    
        def __init__(self, parent=None):
            super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
            self.mdi = QMdiArea()
            self.setCentralWidget(self.mdi)
            bar = self.menuBar()
    
            file = bar.addMenu("Subwindow")
            file.addAction("New")
            file.addAction("Change Text")
            file.triggered[QAction].connect(self.click)
            self.setWindowTitle("Multiple window using MDI")
    
        def click(self, action):
            print("New sub window")
            if action.text() == "New":
                MainWindow.count = MainWindow.count + 1
                sub = QMdiSubWindow()
                sub.setWidget(QTextEdit())
                sub.setWindowTitle("subwindow" + str(MainWindow.count))
                self.subwindow = self.mdi.addSubWindow(sub)
                self.subwindow.show()
                # change current subwindow label text
                button = QPushButton("Click to change", sub)
                button.clicked.connect(lambda: sub.label3.setText('TRUE'))
    
                sub.label3 = QtWidgets.QLabel(sub)
                sub.label3.setGeometry(10, 80, 500, 10)
                sub.label3.setText('Default')
    
                sub_layout = self.subwindow.layout()
                sub_layout.addWidget(sub.label3)
                sub_layout.addWidget(button)
    
            if action.text() == "Change Text":
                for i in self.mdi.subWindowList():
                    label1 = QtWidgets.QLabel(i)
                    label1.setGeometry(10, 50, 500, 10)
                    label1.setText(str(i))
                    label1.show()
                    i.label3.setText('TRUE')
                    print(i)
    
    
    def main():
        app = QApplication(sys.argv)
        ex = MainWindow()
        ex.show()
        sys.exit(app.exec_())
    
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        main()
