Couple questions about QTPYVCP

KCJ wrote: Leon, my bad!

When i fixed another bug I changed some logic that made it fail if there was a folder with the same name as the VCP in the current working directory. I was unable to duplicate your problem at first because I usually launch QTPyVCP from within my dev directory so don't have any folders with the same name as a VCP. Should be fixed now, sorry about that!

Awesome, thanks!

That did the trick

Thanks!

How are you able to tie the push button to a page in the stackedwidget?

I have seen examples in the dynamic property field, but when I add a button the dynamic property section wasn't there if I recall.

I use a lot of stacked widgets in my Mill Touch V6.

After selecting the qpushbutton in the Property Editor click on the green plus sign and select other, then choose int and give it a name.

Thanks, I got it working like I wanted.

Another question,

I tried to put an background image on a gridframe and it shows in the designer but in the sim it doesn't.

I tried it on a label also and as just an image. Png and jpeg format.

Does something have to be done to the main window py?

May be the resources path should be adapted?

The picture is on the resource manager in the designer and when you edit a style sheet it is available to select

i get this in the terminal after i set the image

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

recources.qrc file looks like this
<RCC>
<qresource prefix="newPrefix">
<file>Axes.png</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

Those are GTK warnings complaining about a QtDesigner dialog, they are not related to QtPyVCP. They can be ignored.

These type of warnings are what made me come to loathe GTK and switch to Qt!


The reason the image is not showing when you run your VCP is because you have not re-compiled the qrc file after you added to it. You need to use the qcompile tool to compile it to a python file each time you make changes. To use it just pass the path to the directory containing the qrc file.

Here is some documentation:
qtpyvcp.kcjengr.com/tools/qcompile.html

thanks

do i need to add refrences to the files anywhere? it compiled but im not seeing it still.
