Hello,
I am using the PyQT4 designer to create the MainWindow with very simple
drop-down menu items. File->Exit, Edit->Cut,Copy,Paste
After converting .ui to .py I am trying to make some manual modifications
to the Python script to set the SLOTs for cut/copy/paste actions.
Within the main window, I have a tabbed-Gui, where clicking on each tab
will display more options for the users to choose various files and
directories. I am using lineEdit and TextEdit widgets for this and would
like to have the cut/copy/paste menus from the MainWindow let the user use
them while typing text into the lineEdit and textEdit spaces.
I am setting the slots as below:
self.actionExit.triggered.connect(self.exitMenu)
self.actionCopy.triggered.connect(self.copyMenu)
self.actionCut.triggered.connect(self.cutMenu)
self.actionPaste.triggered.connect(self.pasteMenu)
I am implementing routines for the "slot" functions, where I need help.
Exit action works. But I couldn't find a way to implement the rest for this
situation where there
are multiple locations on the Gui where these actions are to be done.
def exitMenu(self):
QtCore.QCoreApplication.instance().quit()
def cutMenu(self):
print("cutting text ")
???
def copyMenu(self):
print("Copying text ")
???
def pasteMenu(self):
print("Pasting text ")
???
If I was using just one editor for all these actions, I could do something
like:
edit = QtGui
<http://qt-project.org/doc/QtGui.html>.QTextEdit<http://qt-project.org/doc/QTextEdit.html>
(self)
pasteAction.triggered.connect(edit.paste)
cutAction.triggered.connect(edit.cut)
etc.
But here I have multiple places on multiple tabs of the Gui to do
cut/copy/paste actions. Is there a way in PyQt4 that I can do it?
Thanks!
SM
