Thanks Justin, it really helped me:
Just because all the examples were showing it like that, I was using:
asset_name, ok = QtGui.QInputDialog.getText(
self,
"Enter new asset name",
"Asset name:"
)
to create a modal dialog. But as you suggested, using this:
input_dialog = QtGui.QInputDialog(self)
asset_name, ok = input_dialog.getText(
self,
"Enter new asset name",
"Asset name:"
)
now I'm able to use the "input_dialog" to reach the input dialog. It was so
simple.
Thank you very much...
