I want to have a small QFormLayout that grows to fill its parent widget. I created a new .ui file using the QWidget template in Qt Designer. I put a QFormLayout inside that 'window', then put some controls inside that QFormLayout . This all works reasonably well, but the QFormLayout always stays at the size I set in Qt Designer. I would like the QFormLayout to fill its parent widget and grow/shrink with it. How can I accomplish that? Jens In Designer, activate the centralWidget and assign a layout, e.g. horizontal or vertical layout. Then your QFormLayout will automatically resize. Always make

Qt has a flexible and powerful layout mechanism to handle view of desktop application's windows. But it is so flexible, that it nearly cannot be understood, when something goes wrong and needs fine tuning. And so powerful, that it can beat anyone in their tries to overwhelm Qt's opinion of how form should look. So, can anyone explain, or provide articles, or source of Qt's positioning mechanisms? I'm trying to force the QLabel , QPushButton and QTableView , marked by trailing underscores in their names, be two times higher than QTextBrowser having verticalStretch = 1 below. How can I handle

I need to add some features to a graphics widget in a form I created using the Qt Designer. For example I would normally do something like this: class custom_gv(QGraphicsView): def __init__(self): super().__init__() def zoom(self): # custom code here But in this case the graphics view is a part of the window I made in Qt Designer. I know you can use the "promote to" feature in Qt designer but I don't know how to utilise that in code, especially considering that I use this method to use Qt Designer windows: from PyQt5.uic import loadUiType custom_window = loadUiType('ui.ui') class Window

So if I go into QtDesigner and build a UI, it'll be saved as a .ui file. How can I make this as a python file or use this in python? Maxim Popravko Another way to use .ui in your code is: from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, uic class MyWidget(QtGui.QWidget) ... #somewhere in constructor: uic.loadUi('MyWidget.ui', self) both approaches are good. Do not forget, that if you use Qt resource files (extremely useful) for icons and so on, you must compile it too: pyrcc4.exe -o ui/images_rc.py ui/images/images.qrc Note, when uic compiles interface, it adds 'import images_rc' at the end of .py file, so

My PyQt application no longer prints the error (stderr?) to the console. I use QtDesigner and import the UI like this: from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets import sys from PyQt5.uic import loadUiType Ui_MainWindow, QMainWindow = loadUiType("test.ui") class Main(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow): """Main window""" def __init__(self,parent=None): super(Main, self).__init__(parent) self.setupUi(self) self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.testfunc) def testfunc(self): print(9/0) if __name__ == '__main__': app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv) main = Main() main.show() sys.exit(app.exec_()) test.ui
