PyQT5 How do I change windows across files? [duplicate] - python-3.x

Question

I'm using Qt Designer for design GUI to use in python, after designing my desired UI in Qt Designer, convert it to python code and then I changed generated code to do some action in my python code, but if I changed the UI with Qt Designer and convert it to python code again, I lost my previous changes on my code.
how can I solve the problem?
can we Spreading a Class Over Multiple Files in python to write code in other files?

Answer 1

To avoid having these problems it is advisable not to modify this file but to create a new file where we implement a class that uses that design.
For example, suppose you have used the MainWindow template in the design.ui file, then convert it to Ui_Design.py like to the following structure:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
class Ui_MainWindow(object):
def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
[...]
def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
[...]
Then we will create a new file that we will call logic.py where we will create the file that handles the logic and that uses the previous design:
class Logic(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QMainWindow.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.setupUi(self)
So even if you modify the design and generate the file again .py you will not have to modify the file of the logic.
To generalize the idea we must have the following rules but for this the logic class must have the following structure:
class Logic(PyQtClass, DesignClass):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
PyQtClass.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.setupUi(self)
PyQtClass: This class depends on the design chosen.
Template PyQtClass
─────────────────────────────────────────────
Main Window QMainWindow
Widget QWidget
Dialog with Buttons Bottom QDialog
Dialog with Buttons Right QDialog
Dialog with Without Buttons QDialog
DesignClass: The name of the class that appears in your design.
The advantage of this implementation is that you can implement all the logic since it is a widget, for example we will implement the solution closing pyqt messageBox with closeevent of the parent window :
class Logic(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QMainWindow.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.setupUi(self)
def closeEvent(self, event):
answer = QtWidgets.QMessageBox.question(
self,
'Are you sure you want to quit ?',
'Task is in progress !',
QtWidgets.QMessageBox.Yes,
QtWidgets.QMessageBox.No)
if answer == QtWidgets.QMessageBox.Yes:
event.accept()
else:
event.ignore()

The easiest way is to use the *.ui file directly in the python code, you don't need convert to *.py file every time you change the ui.
you can use this pseudo code in your project.
# imports
from PyQt5 import uic
# load ui file
baseUIClass, baseUIWidget = uic.loadUiType("MainGui.ui")
# use loaded ui file in the logic class
class Logic(baseUIWidget, baseUIClass):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Logic, self).__init__(parent)
self.setupUi(self)
.
.
.
.
def main():
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
ui = Logic(None)
ui.showMaximized()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
