How to populate a dataframe in a QDialog using PyQT

[Piyush]

Hi,
I need to display a table in QDialog. How can I do it in Python. Here is the code I am using:
def onClick(self):
d = QDialog()
b1 = QPushButton("ok",d)
b1.move(50,50)
d.setWindowTitle("Dialog")
d.setWindowModality(Qt.ApplicationModal)
d.setWindowFlags()
d.exec_()

Hi. Sorry i dont know what is dataframe, can you explain me?

[jsulm]

@Piyush You asked same question here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/87363/pop-up-window-displaying-a-dataframe and got answers. Did you try to do what already was suggested?

[Piyush]

@Taz742 Its a table. So I am trying to display a table using QDialog but I could not find any way to do that.

@jsulm Hi,
Actually the answer you gave was not relevant.

Hi
To put a table on/in a Dialog.
You must have your own dialog. So subclass is highly relevant :)
There is no other way. Except table it self can be window. but then its not dialog like.

@Piyush Please explain why it is not relevant?
You're trying to use QDialog to show a table. The standard QDialog does not know anything about your table. That's why you need to subclass QDialog and show the table there.

@mrjj Hi,
So this is what I am trying to do. But getting an error. "My app object has no attribute set item"

self.ui.btn1.clicked.connect(self.Dialog)
def Dialog(self):
table = self.MyTable(data,5,3)
#table.setWindowFlags(table.windowFlags() | Qt.Window)
table.show()
self.table = table

def MyTable(self,data,*args):
     QTableWidget.__init__(self)
     self.data = data
     horHeaders = []
     for n, key in enumerate(sorted(self.data.keys())):
        horHeaders.append(key)
        for m, item in enumerate(self.data[key]):
            newitem = QTableWidgetItem(item)
            self.setItem(m, n, newitem)
            self.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(horHeaders)
     print horHeaders,newitem

[mrjj]

Hi
you must call setItem(m, n, newitem) on the QTableWidget not via Self since in this case Self seems to be app.

[Piyush]

@mrjj Hi,
I tried that too but getting an error: "TypeError: setItem(self, int, int, QTableWidgetItem): first argument of unbound method must have type 'QTableWidget'"

[jsulm]

@Piyush

QTableWidget.setItem(m, n, newitem)

[Piyush]

@jsulm Hi,
I have used the same line of code. But still I am getting the error: "TypeError: setItem(self, int, int, QTableWidgetItem): first argument of unbound method must have type 'QTableWidget'". Here is the snippet:

def Dialog(self):
     table = self.MyTable(data,5,3)
     table.show()
     self.table = table
     
def MyTable(self,data,*args):
     self.data = data
     horHeaders = []
     for n, key in enumerate(sorted(self.data.keys())):
        horHeaders.append(key)
        for m, item in enumerate(self.data[key]):
            newitem = QTableWidgetItem(item)
            QTableWidget.setItem(m, n, newitem)
            QTableWidget.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(horHeaders)
     print horHeaders,newitem

[jsulm]

@Piyush Maybe

super(QTableWidget, self).setItem(m, n, newitem)

@Piyush said in How to populate a dataframe in a QDialog using PyQT:

        QTableWidget.setItem(m, n, newitem)
        QTableWidget.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(horHeaders)

The left hand side for setItem()/setHorizontalHeaderLabels() must be your actual table (widget) variable. You are passing the class/type QTableWidget. Hence the error message.

Also while I'm here, your MyTable() does not return anything, and does not inherit from anything either.

@jsulm said in How to populate a dataframe in a QDialog using PyQT:

super(QTableWidget, self).setItem(m, n, newitem)

Actually no, since super will call a class object.

[Piyush]

@JonB Hi,
Could you give me the code for that? Since I am not able to get it.

[jsulm]

@JonB Somehow I was thinking MyTable is a class derived from QTableWidget :-)

[JonB]

@Piyush
Well, (as usual for me) I don't really understand what it is you are trying to do or ask about.

Are you simply wishing to create a QDialog and then put a QTableWidget on it, so it's a dialog which has a table (among possibly other widgets) on it?

[jsulm]

In your dialog you should have an instance of QTableWidget, right?
Something like:

self.tableWidget = QTableWidget()

Then it would be

self.tableWidget.setItem(m, n, newitem)

[Piyush]

@JonB Exactly, I want a QDialog and then put a table on it.
