SetFocus() on QLineEdit not working (after other widget [QPushButton] is removed )
-
In the example below I invoke a QLineEdit after a QPushButton is pressed. I want an automatic focus on the QLineEdit which is working fine if I do NOT delete the QPushButton. If I delete the QPushButton, then the QLineEdit appears but has no focus. Why does removing the Button (in the way I do it) lead to a loss of focus for the QLineEdit and how can I fix this?
One way of making it work is to put the marked (self.removeItem...) line below the .setFocus() line. However, this is not an option for the real program.
Thanks,
