I'm a newbie how do I solve this?
My main question is I'm building a GUI application that has many widgets hence writing all those functions into a single file isn't a good practice hence while writing only I created 2 files I wrote half functionalities in one file and another half in another file (i thought we can connect files and everything will fine) so now I'm trying to make one of the main class and import other all into it but importing them alone isn't working so I'm confused how to do
my original GUI looks like this
tab 1
tab 2
each of these 2 tabs code is written in 2 separate files. and standalone code files workes file so now I want to add something in tab 1 file so tab 2 will also work fine.
A test GUI and code so someone can try to understand the problem more clearly
hence I made an example here
with 1 GUI and 2 dropdowns and 2 codes which work standalone for one dropdown
now my question is what are the changes to be done so i can run one file and import all other files info and run all functionality fully from only one file
My GUI (this is a sample made to test)
its code

I added 2 combo_boxes and accessing them from 2 different files
I want this class to be the parent/main class
File one code that I want to make as a parent class (for number dropdown)
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QPushButton, QTextEdit, QFileDialog
from PyQt5 import uic
import sys
class Mainn(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Mainn, self).__init__()
uic.loadUi("lol.ui", self)
self.show()
self.comboBox_select_number.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.updatenumber)
def updatenumber(self):
number=self.comboBox_select_number.currentText()
self.label_selected_number.setText(number)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Mainn()
app.exec_()
2nd file code for(gender dropdown)
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QPushButton, QTextEdit, QFileDialog
from PyQt5 import uic
import sys
class UI(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(UI, self).__init__()
uic.loadUi("lol.ui", self)
self.show()
self.comboBox_select_gender.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.updategender)
def updategender(self):
gender=self.comboBox_select_gender.currentText()
self.label_selected_gender.setText(gender)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = UI()
app.exec_()
I do know when I run them separately they do only their specific work now I want to combine them so if run the main file both combo box should work suggest me minimal changes of code to work on it.
i do know we can combine like this into a single file and run
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QPushButton, QTextEdit, QFileDialog
from PyQt5 import uic
import sys
class Mainn(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Mainn, self).__init__()
uic.loadUi("lol.ui", self)
self.show()
self.comboBox_select_number.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.updatenumber)
self.comboBox_select_gender.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.updategender)
def updatenumber(self):
number=self.comboBox_select_number.currentText()
self.label_selected_number.setText(number)
def updategender(self):
gender=self.comboBox_select_gender.currentText()
self.label_selected_gender.setText(gender)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Mainn()
app.exec_()
and it works
so I want to get the same functionality with the 2 files by somehow linking them

Answer 1

Hi Finally found a solution
I do know this isn't a good code and it may be completely wrong but I'm getting my required output.
File 1 code
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QPushButton, QTextEdit, QFileDialog
from PyQt5 import uic
import sys
class Mainn(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Mainn, self).__init__()
uic.loadUi("lol.ui", self)
self.comboBox_select_number.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.updatenumber)
def updatenumber(self):
number=self.comboBox_select_number.currentText()
self.label_selected_number.setText(number)
file 2 code
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QPushButton, QTextEdit, QFileDialog
from PyQt5 import uic
import sys
from main import Mainn
class UI(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(UI, self).__init__(parent)
self.ui=Mainn()
self.ui.__init__()
self.ui.show()
self.ui.comboBox_select_gender.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.updategender)
def updategender(self):
gender=self.ui.comboBox_select_gender.currentText()
self.ui.label_selected_gender.setText(gender)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = UI()
app.exec_()
now if i run file 2 it works as per my requirement
If still their are any improvements please let me know thank you
