@alexjordan_now said in Help sending data from dialog to main window: You can achieve this by emitting a signal from the login dialog and connecting it to a slot in the main window That's one way that was also already mentioned before :) Though I think if you want to return one value only, setting up a signal/slot connection is more "work" than just returning the value directly to the caller.

@Pl45m4. Err... ignore. I thought it was something that was easy for QT to supply.

I had similar challenges when I was working on a mobile payment app. For developing a dynamic app with merchant features, card attachments, and payment scheduling, it’s crucial to have a secure and reliable payment gateway integration. To solve this issue, I recommend you to read about mobile app payment gateway integration . This article provides a clear understanding of how to integrate payment gateways into your app, which will be helpful for implementing the features you're aiming for.

It is always good to have version control right from the start (Git even works locally and can push the full history later). You should start right away to use GitHub. At first, make the repository private for you to work on and once it is stable, make it public.

Any updates to this tutorial? Trying on an M4 Mac and the crosstool-ng build is crapping out when trying to build make.

Hi and welcome to devnet, Can you be more precise about the limitations you have in mind ? Qt provides the Accessibility module, did you already check what is available through it ?

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget from PyQt5.QtGui import QPainter, QColor, QBrush from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt class GreenRectangleWidget(QWidget): def init(self): super().init() self.initUI() def initUI(self): self.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 300) # Set the window's position and size self.setWindowTitle('Green Rectangle') self.show() def paintEvent(self, event): painter = QPainter(self) painter.setBrush(QBrush(QColor(0, 255, 0), Qt.SolidPattern)) # Set brush color to green painter.drawRect(50, 50, 300, 200) # Draw a rectangle (x, y, width, height) if name == 'main': app = QApplication(sys.argv) ex = GreenRectangleWidget() sys.exit(app.exec_())

If you want a RangeSlider that is more than half a circle you need to create a custom control using a mouse area... . if the control is horizontal one needs to know the y value where the user clicked. This is needed to map the visualPosition to a x,y properties of the handle. I do not know a way to get the mouse.y where the user clicked from inside RangeSlider type, I suggest creating a custom control. need to account for https://doc.qt.io/qt-6.2/qml-qtquick-controls2-control.html#event-handling If the RangeSlider is just half of a Circle then I think you can map the visualPosition to an x,y value and you can just customize the background and the handles of the RangeSlider. The price is increasing :).

@jeremy_k said in how to display items from model in varying sizes?: @mzimmers said in how to display items from model in varying sizes?: I would try using a GridLayout, but I don't know how I would "feed" model data to a Layout. Repeater Thanks

It would be nice if Qt developers used their years of GUI experience to make something cool in Rust. There is Slint - a GUI framework written in Rust, created by Qt experts: https://slint.dev

Yes, I saw that also today. Looks like the admins changed that behavior in the last hours. Thank you!

@mzimmers said in avoiding the use of hard-coded strings: I'm trying to determine how best to put all of my labels (using the term generically) into a single location that can be easily modified by a non-programmer. The goal would be to have no hard-coded strings in my code; they'd all reside in some file that could be altered by a technical writer or someone else. Even if your original labels are written down in English you can still have an English translation. (We do use English translations just for plurals. There is a command to just extract entries containing %n.) Translatable strings can also have an additional comment/description. This can help to clarify (and disambiguate) what you actually meant. Maybe use something to make it clear that a string needs still translation, e.g. instead of using the string My label use something like >>>MY LABEL<<< instead. This makes it easy to spot string not yet translated to English. Or use the variable name as the string to be translated (camelCase or snake_case would be easy to spot as well). Your English "translation" would be the single file for your technical writer.

@AnneRanch said in How to track debug process?: should this top level window be a main application object or be as another child mdiArea subwindow? With the context provided, it is not possible to answer this question, or even brainstorm about it. It's unclear, how this question relates to the headline of your post.

@GrecKo yeah, this is a weird use case. I actually do want a list, just not a list in the Qt model/view/delegate sense. Ideally, I'd like to create a list (array/vector/whatever) of the properties I want to display, and pass it into a universal component for display, but creating and using that structure seems to be a bit out of reach for JS/QML/me. It's OK; this approach is working, if a bit inelegant.

@UlyssesZhan it's hard to say for sure, but I'd speculate that the Qt apps you mention set their own cursor properties rather than use the default settings in in gnome (or gnome-tweaks). Do you have the source code for these Qt apps?
