Entry Dialog

Does the style editor load stylesheets properly for you in python3? (press f12 in most screens)
My tests show it displays the styles sheet properly initially but any loaded after are shown as bytes rather the strings. - I think i got a fix...

I have a different issue, but still related to Entry Dialog:
Adding Entry Dialog widget in designer, doesn't show when I run my user interface.
To check if my ui has some sort of issue, I have added Entry Dialog widget to the standard qtdragon.ui, just for testing.
Same thing happens, the Entry Dialog shows in designer but not when running the ui.
Entry Dialog doesn't show, am I missing something?
I have added the screen shots and the edited qtdragon.ui

Dialogs are separate windows that pop up (even if you add it directly to the screen - which is a depreciated way to do it now)

If you want an entry that is always displayed on the main screen you must use a regular entry widget.

We currently don't have a prebuilt entry widget that responds to dialog entry requests.
What are you using this entry for?

I'd like to have an entry field or dialog for an external offset.
Entering value for external offset and pressing a button to confirm the input.
I could use QLineEdit, but I don't know if QLineEdit can have feedback that the value entered should be excepted.
Like an OK button or something like that.

Well if you want a pop up dialog entry or calculator are the ones to use.

But you certainly can have an entry widget and use another button to accept it.
but it requires some programming.

A popup dialog entry would be great.
I haven't found a programming snippet on how to do this.

Could you please point me to something I could have a look at as example?
Thanks.

Sure - here is a start:
