[SOLVED] Open UI panel in standalone window

[openBrain]

When I call the show function on my object without overwriting it, I get a blank dialog

Code: Select all

    panel = BoxTaskPanel(obj)
    panel.show()

Can you share your UI file or a simplified version of it?

Yep. OK, this is what I thought. Actually your UI is already a QDialog.
In this case, you should do something like :

Code: Select all

class BoxTaskPanel:

    def __init__(self, obj, parent=Gui.getMainWindow()):
        self.form = Gui.PySideUic.loadUi(path_to_ui)
        self.form.setWindowTitle("Choose Tube")
        self.form.setWindowFlag(QtCore.Qt.Tool)
        self.form.setParent(parent)
        self.fp = obj
        ....

    def show(self):
        self.form.show()

The other solution would be that your UI is only a simple widget, and thus you could load it and place it inside a custom QDialog class.

Or maybe create Ui by hand, for simple UI (but also for complex and repetitive UI) sometimes is better and more concise than using Qt designer.
