Awesome, that helps. I'm having trouble determining if the created child is a certain type of panel. My original thought was to get the maya UI name and check it's type with cmds.getPanel, however MQtUtil.fullName() is asking for a pointer, not the QWidget that event.child() returns, and I don't know how to pass it a pointer to the widget (or if there is a better way to either get the Maya UI name, or figure out if the child is a panel of type x).
