Dialog Windows¶

An overview over dialog windows.

Dialogs can be modal , in which case the user is required to provide necessary information before work in the main window can continue, or modeless . Modeless dialogs do not prevent the user from interacting with any of the other windows in the application.

Qt provides a set of ready-made dialogs for file, font, color-selection and more.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QColorDialog

The QColorDialog class provides a dialog widget for specifying colors.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QFileDialog

The QFileDialog class provides a dialog that allow users to select files or directories.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QFontDialog

The QFontDialog class provides a dialog widget for selecting a font.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QInputDialog

The QInputDialog class provides a simple convenience dialog to get a single value from the user.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QMessageBox

The QMessageBox class provides a modal dialog for informing the user or for asking the user a question and receiving an answer.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QProgressDialog

The QProgressDialog class provides feedback on the progress of a slow operation.

PySide2.QtPrintSupport.QPrintDialog

The QPrintDialog class provides a dialog for specifying the printer’s configuration.

PySide2.QtPrintSupport.QPageSetupDialog

The QPageSetupDialog class provides a configuration dialog for the page-related options on a printer.

PySide2.QtPrintSupport.QPrintPreviewDialog

The QPrintPreviewDialog class provides a dialog for previewing and configuring page layouts for printer output.

Custom dialogs can be easily created by composing regular widgets into a QDialog . These classes are specifically designed for building custom dialogs:
