    Well normally one would use App2 as that is the
    composite widget.
    So often that makes the most sense to use as it will then init the
    widget it uses in a proper way.

      something like
      (import it )

      layout = QHBoxLayout()
      layout.addWidget(App2)
      yourwindow.setLayout(layout)
      yourwindow.show()

        Hi

        I am getting this error when I add the layout code into pyqt.py: TypeError: addWidget(self, QWidget, stretch: int = 0, alignment: Union[Qt.Alignment, Qt.AlignmentFlag] = Qt.Alignment()): argument 1 has unexpected type 'sip.wrappertype'

        import sys
        from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
        from PyQt5.QtCore import *
        from pyqt2 import *

        class App(QWidget):
        def init(self):
        QMainWindow.init(self)

            layout = QHBoxLayout()
            layout.addWidget(App2)
            yourwindow.setLayout(layout)
            yourwindow.show()
        
            pybutton = QPushButton('Click me', self)
            pybutton.resize(200,70)
            pybutton.move(400, 50)
            self.show()
        

        if name == "main":
        app = QApplication(sys.argv)
        mainWin = App()
        sys.exit(app.exec_())

            "app2" is a widget created from inside class.

              it has to inherit QWidget or be a QWidget to be used in a layout.
              Else its plain impossible and you must create the inner Widgets yourself. :)

                  Because it is a QWidget it should be able to be shown but why do I get an error and is there another way to write this code because of an error.

                        It was just a suggestion.
                        I dont know if that is the case.

                          @sdf1444 said in How to show all UI from another python file in current file when button is clicked.:

                          class App(QWidget):
                          def init(self):
                          QMainWindow.init(self)

                          Why are you declaring App to be a QWidget and then in the constructor try to do some initialisation based on QMainWindow ?

                          Note that App is not a really good name for a widget. Most people would think of a QCore/QGui/QApplication based class.
