For a built-in dialog like QInputDialog, I've read that I can do this:
text, ok = QtGui.QInputDialog.getText(self, 'Input Dialog', 'Enter your name:')
How can I emulate this behavior using a dialog that I design myself in Qt Designer? For instance, I would like to do:
my_date, my_time, ok = MyCustomDateTimeDialog.get_date_time(self)
Here is simple class you can use to prompt for date:
class DateDialog(QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(DateDialog, self).__init__(parent)
layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
# nice widget for editing the date
self.datetime = QDateTimeEdit(self)
self.datetime.setCalendarPopup(True)
self.datetime.setDateTime(QDateTime.currentDateTime())
layout.addWidget(self.datetime)
# OK and Cancel buttons
buttons = QDialogButtonBox(
QDialogButtonBox.Ok | QDialogButtonBox.Cancel,
Qt.Horizontal, self)
buttons.accepted.connect(self.accept)
buttons.rejected.connect(self.reject)
layout.addWidget(buttons)
# get current date and time from the dialog
def dateTime(self):
return self.datetime.dateTime()
# static method to create the dialog and return (date, time, accepted)
@staticmethod
def getDateTime(parent = None):
dialog = DateDialog(parent)
result = dialog.exec_()
date = dialog.dateTime()
return (date.date(), date.time(), result == QDialog.Accepted)
and to use it:
date, time, ok = DateDialog.getDateTime()
