widgets and modules

MIckH

HI,
One of the biggest challanges I seem to face while developing my QT GUI is which module contains the widget I want to work with.

Is there a graph or sheet somewhere that shows these relationships easily for QT6?

TIA

@MIckH
Not sure what your issue is. All QWidgets are in the ... widgets module. You look at the docs page to see what to include, e.g. https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qspinbox.html tells you to #include <QSpinBox>. The various widget classes are listed on Widgets Classes.

@JonB
ok, i'll be more specific. while you are right about them all being in 'widgets' its not best practice to just call that module for everything

Here is what Im talking about:

from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt6.QtGui import QStandardItemModel, QStandardItem, QFont, QBrush
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QTableView, QWidget
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt, QItemSelectionModel
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QComboBox, QPushButton, QCheckBox, QStyledItemDelegate
from PyQt6.QtGui import QGuiApplication

Im looking for a list, cheatsheet etc that details the heirachy of the widget classes so I know which module to import them from.
(I know that example is messy)

Also, does anyone know why Vscode gives the following warning when its clearly not true?

No name 'QComboBox' in module 'PyQt6.QtWidgets'PylintE0611:no-name-in-module

Aside from the documentation page of any class telling you which module it is in,

there is All Classes by Module and other views accessible from here

As for why Pylint reports that, you'd have to look at the limits of that tool and the Python wrapper provided by Riverbank.

@ChrisW67 thanks for that.
Still seems very clunky and time consuming.

I have written a short program that finds the correct module.

I'll post this separately.
