Nathan Horne has several very useful posts about PyQt and Maya. You should
read this: http://nathanhorne.com/?p=381
Using the code in that post, here's how to achieve what you want:
import pymel.all as p
class MayaSubWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=getMayaWindow()):
super(MayaSubWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.centralwidget = QtGui.QWidget(self)
self.layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self.centralwidget)
self.box = p.channelBox('myHappyBox')
# add the standard right click menu. Doesnt work too well -
# most operations use the default channelBox no matter what
self.popup = p.popupMenu()
p.popupMenu(self.popup, e=True, postMenuCommand=lambda *x:
p.mel.generateChannelMenu(self.popup, True))
qtObj = toQtObject(self.box)
self.layout.addWidget(qtObj)
self.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
myWindow = MayaSubWindow()
myWindow.show()
