Now drag and drop from the "Widget Box" in Qt Designer a "List Widget" (not List View) widget and a "Push Button", drop them anywhere on the main form. The only object still left is "centralwidget" but we need it so we won't change anything about it.
Once we do that we have an (almost) empty form. You can easily remove objects by right clicking on them in that window or just by selecting them on your main form and pressing DEL key on your keyboard.įor now we'll just resize our form and delete menu and status bar. Once we got that we'll resize our main window a bit, since we don't need it that large, and we'll also remove the automatically added menu and status bar since we don't plan on using them in this tutorial.Īll the form elements that your design has, and their hierarchy, are listed (by default) on the right side of the Qt Designer window under "Object Inspector". Make yourself familiar with the interface, it's pretty simple. Open up Qt Designer and you should see a new form dialog, pick a "Main Window" and click "Create"Īfter that you should get a new form that you can resize, drop objects from widget box on etc. Now that we've got everything that we need installed let's first start with simple design.
To see how to solve that look at this SO thread Design Basics If you're on windows you most likely don't have C:\Python27\Scripts (replace 27 with your python version) in your PATH. If you get "command not found" or something along those lines try googling on how to solve it for your operating system and pyqt version. On Linux the packages required are probably in your distro repositories, if you're on Ubuntu/Debian you can run: $ apt-get install python-qt4 pyqt4-dev-tools qt4-designerĪfter you're done installing requirements on your operating system open terminal/command prompt and make sure you can run pyuic4 command it should show: $ pyuic4Įrror: one input ui-file must be specified If you're looking for a more straightforward installation of the qt Qt Designer alone then check out this privately maintained builds page If you don't have anything installed you can get PyQt for Windows here:įor OS X you can download the PyQt via homebrew: $ brew install pyqtĪnd QtCreator (which contains Qt Designer) here: I'll be using PyQt4 with python 2.7.10 but there are no major differences between PyQt and PySide or python 3 versions of those, so if you already have PyQt5 or PySide installed there is no need to downgrade/switch. You need PyQt and Qt Designer installed, and of course python. The tutorial will guide you, step by step, towards creating a very simple app that lists all files in the selected directory. This tutorial is aimed at beginners just starting out with PyQt/PySide and Qt Designer, it will cover very basic usage of PyQt in combination with Qt Designer.
