QWidget.Show()

[Caeden]

im using async qt (this shouldnt make a difference that much for what i'm doing right here) -

https://github.com/CaedenPH/integrated-bot-gui/tree/main/bot-gui -- > this is the whole code, not that it makes that much difference i think.

@asyncSlot()
    async def send_message(self):
        window = QtWidgets.QWidget()

        ui = Sendmessage_Dialog()
        ui.setupUi(window)

        window.show()

this is called at the main.py;

def windowLauncher():
    """Launch panel"""


    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    loop = QEventLoop(app)

    asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)

    win = MainWindow()
    win.show()
    

    loop.run_forever()




if __name__ == "__main__":
    windowLauncher()    

I've noticed that when I make a function and use show in it it only shows for a split second? am I using this incorrectly?

sorry for long post

@Caeden Read about scope of variables. In your case window and ui are local variables so they will be removed after the function is executed. Change to:

@asyncSlot()
async def send_message(self):
    self.window = QtWidgets.QWidget()
    self.ui = Sendmessage_Dialog()
    self.ui.setupUi(self.window)
    self.window.show()
