Closing a window

标签：

The obvious way to how to close a window is to click on the x mark on the titlebar. In the next example, we will show how we can programatically close our window. We will briefly touch signals and slots.

The following is the constructor of a QtGui.QPushButton that we will use in our example.

QPushButton(string text, QWidget parent = None)

The text parameter is a text that will be displayed on the button. The parent is a widget on which we place our button. In our case it will be a QtGui.QWidget.

the application terminates.

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore


class Example(QtGui.QWidget):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super(Example, self).__init__()
        
        self.initUI()
        
    def initUI(self):               
        
        qbtn = QtGui.QPushButton(‘Quit‘, self)
        qbtn.clicked.connect(QtCore.QCoreApplication.instance().quit)
        qbtn.resize(qbtn.sizeHint())
        qbtn.move(50, 50)       
        
        self.setGeometry(300, 300, 250, 150)
        self.setWindowTitle(‘Quit button‘)    
        self.show()
        
def main():
    
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Example()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())


if __name__ == ‘__main__‘:
    main()

In this example, we create a quit button. Upon clicking on the button, the application terminates.

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore

An object from the QtCore module will be needed. Therefore, we import the module.

qbtn = QtGui.QPushButton(‘Quit‘, self)

We create a push button. The button is an instance of the QtGui.QPushButton class. The first parameter of the constructor is the label of the button. The second parameter is the parent widget. The parent widget is the Example widget, which is a QtGui.QWidget by inheritance.

qbtn.clicked.connect(QtCore.QCoreApplication.instance().quit)

The event processing system in PyQt4 is built with the signal & slot mechanism. If we click on the button, the signal clicked is emitted. The slot can be a Qt slot or any Python callable. TheQtCore.QCoreApplication contains the main event loop. It processes and dispatches all events. Theinstance() method gives us its current instance. Note that QtCore.QCoreApplication is created with theQtGui.QApplication. The clicked signal is connected to the quit() method which terminates the application. The communication is done between two objects: the sender and the receiver. The sender is the push button, the receiver is the application object.
