When i am trying to close the application using the Ctrl+Q shortcut the MessageBox pops up for the question and when i click on either of the choice i get
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'ignore'
Where have i been wrong?
You should not directly call the closeEvent()
method (or the methods that xxxEvent
) since this is called by internal elements of Qt through the event-loop, instead you should use the close()
method to indirectly invoke closeEvent()
:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
class Ui_MainWindow(object):
def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
MainWindow.resize(277, 244)
self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow)
self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget")
MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
self.menubar = QtWidgets.QMenuBar(MainWindow)
self.menubar.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 800, 22))
self.menubar.setObjectName("menubar")
self.menuFile = QtWidgets.QMenu(self.menubar)
self.menuFile.setObjectName("menuFile")
MainWindow.setMenuBar(self.menubar)
self.actionQuit = QtWidgets.QAction(MainWindow)
self.actionQuit.setObjectName("actionQuit")
self.actionQuit.setShortcut("Ctrl+Q")
self.actionQuit.setStatusTip("Quit the application")
self.menuFile.addAction(self.actionQuit)
self.menubar.addAction(self.menuFile.menuAction())
self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)
def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
_translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate
MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow"))
self.menuFile.setTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "File"))
self.actionQuit.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Quit"))
class MyWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MyWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.setupUi(self)
self.actionQuit.triggered.connect(self.close)
def closeEvent(self, event):
print(event)
result = QtWidgets.QMessageBox.question(self,
"Confirm Exit...",
"Are you sure you want to exit ?",
QtWidgets.QMessageBox.Yes| QtWidgets.QMessageBox.No)
event.ignore()
print(result)
if result == QtWidgets.QMessageBox.Yes:
event.accept()
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
w = MyWindow()
w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
By connecting the action to the function like that, self.actionQuit.triggered.connect(MainWindow.closeEvent)
you ensure that the triggered
signal is passed to the function, but this signal is a boolean as written in the documentation, which means event
is a boolean in your code below:
def closeEvent(self, event):
print(event)
result = QtWidgets.QMessageBox.question(self,
"Confirm Exit...",
"Are you sure you want to exit ?",
QtWidgets.QMessageBox.Yes| QtWidgets.QMessageBox.No)
event.ignore()
print(result)
if result == QtWidgets.QMessageBox.Yes:
event.accept()
A boolean does not have an ignore
or accept
attribute, hence the AttributeError. I do not have a solution but that's the source of your problem. Hopefully exiting the program with a keyboard shortcut is a question that was answered already.
