[Maya-Python] Pyside UI dropping behind maya main UI

[Jakob Kousholt]

Hi,

So I am slowly getting the hang of pyside, but a thing I have postponed too
long is to figure out how to make the UI sit on top of mayas main UI like
every other UI inside of maya. So far my code is this: (any other unrelated
tips on a better boileterplate is most welcome too)

from PySide2 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from shiboken2 import wrapInstance


import maya.OpenMayaUI as omui

def maya_main_window():
main_window_ptr = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
return wrapInstance(long(main_window_ptr), QtWidgets.QWidget)

class gSubmission(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):

def __init__(self, parent=maya_main_window()):
super(gSubmission, self).__init__(parent)

self.setWindowTitle("Temp")


if __name__ == "__main__":

try:
ui.close()
except:
pass

ui = gSubmission()
ui.show()

Which version of Maya and which operating system are you using? Setting the
parent to the Maya main window, the way you are doing, should result in the
window staying above Maya (tested on Linux/Maya 2018). However it won't
force it to stay above every single child window in Maya.

Hey Justin,

Arh, I see. I was trying on mac, but it seems to be working as I intend on
Windows 10. Maya version is 2018 in both cases. Any idea how I can make it
work on mac too? Thanks
