Some thing I have been fightig with for some time is putting maya widgets (modelEditors,outliners etc) in to a pyqt ui so thought I'd share this:
import maya.cmds as cmds
import sip
from pymel.core import *
from pymel.all import *
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore, uic
def getMayaWindow():
'Get the maya main window as a QMainWindow instance'
ptr = mui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
return sip.wrapinstance(long(ptr), QtCore.QObject)
def getControl(controlName):
ptr = mui.MQtUtil.findControl(controlName)
return sip.wrapinstance(long(ptr), QtCore.QObject)
uiFile = '/path/to/mainwindow.ui'
form_class, base_class = uic.loadUiType(uiFile)
class Window(base_class, form_class):
def __init__(self, parent=getMayaWindow()):
'''A custom window with a demo set of ui widgets'''
#init our ui using the MayaWindow as parent
super(base_class, self).__init__(parent)
#uic adds a function to our class called setupUi, calling this creates all the widgets from the .ui file
self.setupUi(self)
modeditor=modelEditor()
self.qtEditor=getControl(modeditor)
self.qtEditor.setParent(self.viewFrame)
self.viewFrame.layout().addWidget(self.qtEditor)
#works in 2012+
self.modeditor=modeditor.shortName()
mel.eval('modelEditor -e -da "smoothShaded" '+myWindow.modeditor.shortName())
self.qtEditor
def mycommand(self):
print "HAHAHAHAHA the POWER!!!!!!!!!"
def main():
global myWindow
myWindow = Window()
myWindow.show()
main()
