I cannot seem to get the example pysidedock to dock with RV window, is there a special trick to it?

How do you make a package widget docked by default at startup?

Running linux

Thank you!

    Can you please share with me the example you are referring to? I will see if I can get it working and tell you my steps.

    Thanks,

    Ah,

    I am seeing that as well. I will dig in and see what is going on.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    It looks like PySide (unlike PyQt and MuQt) is incapable of determining the Qt inherited type from our custom widgets. This leads to an inaccessible QMainWindow which is needed to set up docking. While i continue to dig into the options with PySide could you please tell me if PyQt or MuQt would be viable alternative options for you?

    Thanks,
    Jon

    Thanks for investigating!

    We will try to get a pyqt build but it would be great having pyside support if able.

    OK,

    Here is an example PyQt package.

    Thanks,

    Very minor, doesn't seem to be possible to forcing widgets(buttons etc) less than ~50.

    in your example try button.setMaximumWidth(20)

    You'll find because RV is setting these parameters with styleSheets, the direct functions will sometimes be overridden.  In the case I've seen, the min-width is set to 3em for QPushButton.

     

    That being said, you should be able to set a stylesheet for a specific button to re-set the min-width as you see fit.

    If you want it set to pixels, you can do something like such:

    someStyleSheet =  """QPushButton { min-width: 10px; }"""
    someButton.setStyleSheet(someStyleSheet)

    Hi

    With the new pyside support in RV - is it possible to get docked windows working?
    Cannot get it to work on my side

    Thank you

    This page has been updated with an example that gets you the main window to dock.  Most notably the difference is you need to wrap the instance with shiboken since doing object searches in PySide don't return you the specifically typed objects (despite responding properly to inherits()).

    Note that PySide has it's own quirks that aren't mentioned in PyQt to PySide transition documents; so it might take a bit of working from the injection point forward if you are transitioning an existing project.

    Hi,

    With the notes from this forum page...

    https://support.shotgunsoftware.com/entries/96056447

    I was able to get docking working in the example package. I am attaching the latest here.

    Thanks,
