How to make a modal dialog?

[robinsiebler]

I am trying to make a modal dialog. I have the below code. If I use ldlg.show(), the dialog never appears. If I use ldlg.exec_(), the dialog is not modal. What am I doing wrong? I have the dialog properties set to ApplicationModal.

@
self.action_Legend.triggered.connect(self.show_legend)

def show_legend(self):
    """Display the Legend dialog."""

    class LegendDialog(QDialog, legendDlg.Ui_dlgLegend):
      def __init__(self, parent=None):

        super(LegendDialog, self).__init__(parent)
        self.setupUi(self)

    ldlg = LegendDialog()
    ldlg.exec_()

Please check out how to use "code wrappings.":http://qt-project.org/wiki/ForumHelp#e3f82045ad0f480d3fb9e0ac2d58fb01 They make your code section readable. I introduced them for you this time.

Thankfully, I found the answer "somewhere else":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5874025/pyqt4-how-to-show-a-modeless-dialog...

@ ldlg = LegendDialog(self)
ldlg.show()@
