I want to write something like a taskbar/dock/panel(like tint2,...) with pyQt5.
I know how to write regular GUI applications with it, but my tiling window manager(herbstluftwm) maximizes my panels and openbox makes them resizable etc.
My question : How can I make pyQt show my application as a panel instead of a window? I haven't found anything about that in the documentation.
Thank you.
Thanks to musicamente's help, i could find that the function setWindowFlags() is what I need. It allows to change the behavior of a window.
A website explaining this function is https://pythonprogramminglanguage.com/pyqt5-window-flags/

I want to create a application in python using wxpython library with multiple windows which will be inter-related to each other using buttons, i.e. we can go from one window to other and again come back to the previous window using buttons just like an app.
There should be one window on the screen at any time if possible. Is this possible using wxpython library. If so then can you suggest me how.
It is really simple. Normally you create one window (usually a frame or a dialog). If you want more windows, you will just create more frames or dialogs.
Sorry if my query's a bit noobish, a uwp beginner here.
I'm trying to morph the hamburger template from template10 and an existing project of mine. Basically, I'd like to have a certain page with the hamburger menu being invisible, and display my own navigation buttons on the page (an intro page). Upon navigation away to any other page the menu will be visible again.
I tried changing Hamburger's visibility state as an experiment, but it seems to be affecting the content as well. Is what I'm talking about possible with this control and I'm missing something obvious? Or I'd have to manage shell usage in app.xaml and load my intro page without the shell?
Many thanks for the creation of the t10 btw (Jerry, Daren and everyone else), me being confused in this thing doesn't at all diminish my appreciation
There are a few options for you here. IsPaneOpen will only work for you depending on the DisplayMode you choose. But if I were to guess, it's HamburgerMenu,.IsFullScreen that you are really wanting to use here.
You can change the SplitView mode to Inline and set IsPaneOpen to false. That will hide the Pane.
The goal of the program i'm trying to write is a bot that can click and play flash games and press keys inside a window webpage even when I do not have the window selected. My question is very similar to this. What I want to know is how to use win32, selenium, and PIL to take screenshots, analyze the screenshots, and click and press buttons accordingly from the bot. I've looked through the win32api documentation and found little about how to click inside a window in the background.
If someone could give a link to someone who has done this before or just a little nudge in the right direction would be amazing!
pywinauto is even simpler, but it may not recognize Flash controls. The code should just look a bit shorter:
import pywinauto
app = pywinauto.Application().connect(path='process_name.exe')
app.MainDialog.click_input(coords=(953, 656))
To check which controls are visible:
app.MainDialog.print_control_identifiers()
P.S. If you work with Python 3.x, this clone is compatible with Py3.
If your goal is detecting and interacting with images on screen, you might want to take a look at Sikuli. This is exactly what it does. Sikuli automates anything you see on the screen. It uses image recognition to identify and control GUI components. It is especially useful when there is no easy access to a GUI's internal or source code. More info here.
I am looking to achieve the following :
when an application stars up, I want it to slide in from the left of the screen
Is this possible to do in linux ? How do I go about achieving it ? I could not find any resources online, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
I am open to programming a solution for this too. It would be great if i can get an answer on how to program something like this.
Presumably you have control over the placement of the window. Place the window off screen, then set up a loop that moves it over one pixel at a time. Exactly how to do that depends on your GUI toolkit.
couldn't find anything with google or search.
I have some QPushButtons and QLabels in a QVBoxLayout. Now I want them to scale down. Not only the text, the hole QButton and QLabel. Is that possible? If yes, can you please tell me how or post me a link to the doc. I'm pretty sure, that there must be a way. But I think I'm searching with the wrong words.
Not sure what you mean, but perhaps you're looking for QBoxLayout::addStretch? By the way, I recommend using Qt Designer to create your layout, PyQt4 comes with a tool called pyuic4 that creates the Python code for you. Qt Designer allows you to visually insert spacer items.
