You have some issues with the way you are loading and using your UI.
Notice that you are loading the UI into self.ui, but then implementing
events on self. Your end up calling self.ui.show() from your init which is
showing a completely different object than your main window class.
Normally, I would recommend either precompiling your UIC via pyuic4, or,
loading it in on the fly and then inheriting from it:
class SkinWrangler(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_skinWrangler):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(SkinWrangler, self).__init__(parent)
self.setupUi(self)
There are variations of that approach, where some people will store the ui
as an object:
self.ui = Ui_skinWrangler()
self.ui.setupUi(self)
The immediate fix for how you are using loadUi is to tell it to set it up
on your main window (similar to what setupUi does):
class skinWrangler(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
# other stuff here #
uiPath = "/path/to/ui/test.ui"
uic.loadUi(uiPath, self)
def closeEvent(self, e):
print 'CLOSED'
win = skinWrangler()
win.show() # instead of win.ui.show()
Don't call show() from your init. It should be called by the entry-point
function that is launching your UI.
Now you will see your closeEvent get called when the window is closed.
The reason you were seeing it look like it was occurring during init each
time, is that what it was really doing was deleting your previous instance
with cmds.deleteUI() which triggers the closeEvent for that previous widget.
