How to call QPushButton and QLineEdit from window 2

[California]

Thanks for your respond. Can you be more specific, couse Iam not an expert with python. Some example would be very appreciatted.

Regards

[SGaist]

There are lots of examples in the Qt for Python documentation like this one.

[California]

Well, I know it must be defined in this part of the code below, I just don't know how. Would you be so kind to writte few lines for Button, for example?

class Ui_SCADA(object):
    def open_Login_Window(self):    
        self.window = QtWidgets.QDialog()
        self.ui = Ui_Dialog()
        self.ui.setupUi(self.window)        
        self.window.show()
        
    def setupUi(self, SCADA):
        SCADA.setObjectName("SCADA")
        SCADA.resize(888, 665)

@California There is really not much to it:

class Ui_Dialog(object):
...
    def userName(self):
        return self.lineEdit_user_name.text()
# Same for all other text edits you need

[California]

Thanks for help.
Ok, for my knowledge is quite big chalenge. It works now in second window (code below), but how to pass variable un into main?

@California said in How to call QPushButton and QLineEdit from window 2:

but how to pass variable un into main?

Please explain better.
What variable and what is "main"?

[SGaist]

Dialog.exec_()
print(Dialog.user_Name()

Please use proper casing for your method, variable and class names. Although it doesn't matter for your machine, the humans reading your code will have a very hard time.

Follow the PEP8 document

• Variable names in lower case
• function name in snake_case, no uppercase mixed in there

Qt uses camelCase for its functions because they come from the C++ style guide lines they are using although you can change that with the latest version of PySide6.

Beside that, since as you said you are a beginner, you should take the time to read the documentation and tutorials provided by Qt's documentation. You'll learn quite a lot there to get the basics going properly.

I couldnt imagine, ading extra window for log in could make so big troubles for me.
I'ii post top parts of the code for modules: main.py, gui_91.py and login_window.py so you can get the picture, couse obviously I can't explain correct what I would like to do. There are some other modules involved, but they are not important for description of my problem. Thanks for all your help and please forgive me my poor knowledge, programming is my free time pleassure.

@California You simply call these methods as you would do with any other method (also @SGaist already shown how):

def open_Login_Window(self):    
        self.window = QtWidgets.QDialog()
        self.ui = Ui_Dialog()
        self.ui.setupUi(self.window)        
        self.window.show()  
        ...
        name = self.ui.user_Name()
        password = self.ui.pass_Word()

You also should use exec() instead of show() I think.

[California]

First of all, thanks to all for helping ...
Ok, I got one step closer...it works, but only at start up application. To represent the situation, I put together small example, which you can run...so, what to do in existing example to print both line edits content whenever is login window opened. Thanks in advance, Vlado

Make a proper widget of your login dialog and use it at the right place in your main window.

[California]

Thanks man for showing me the way, it works now. All "Log IN" actions were put into logwindow.py and called from there.
How can I mark this post as solved?

Regards, Vlado

[SGaist]

You can either use the "Topic Tools" button or the three dotted menu beside the answer you deem correct.
