How to create a modal window in pyqt?
modal-dialog, pyqt, pyqt4, python, python-2.7
Solution
`QDialog` has `setModal()` as found here.
As the docs state:
By default, this property is `False` and `show()` pops up the dialog as modeless. Setting this property to true is equivalent to setting `QWidget.windowModality` to `Qt.ApplicationModal`.
As @sebastian noted you could use `exec()`. However it is better to use `exec_()` as the one sebastian mentioned is also a python call.
Example:
my_dialog = QDialog(self)
my_dialog.exec_() # blocks all other windows until this window is closed.
If this doesn't help please post your code and I will have a look.
Problem
I looked into the documentation and i found 'self.setWindowModality(QtCore.Qt.WindowModal)'. I added this function to my 'init' function, but however still was not able to create a modal dialog box. Any help will be appreciated, Thank You.
