Python / PyQt5 MDI Window focus problem

[apereira]

You are closig the "active sub window" of the mdi area.
That will always be an mdi sub window, not any dialog._

As i could understand from the docs, the next lines creates a subwindow in the mdiarea containing the dialog.

capturafm = dialgABM(self, ABM_ALTA, self.desc, self.campos, self.dialgx, self.dialgy, self.nombre)
            globvar.mdiArea.addSubWindow(capturafm)

capturafm = dialgABM(self, ABM_ALTA, self.desc, self.campos, self.dialgx, self.dialgy, self.nombre)
            globvar.mdiArea.addSubWindow(capturafm)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You are suggesting to create an mdisubwindow and then activate it?
dialgABM should return a QMdiSubWindow object and then globvar.mdiarea.setActiveSubwindow( capturafm )

Btw, in you create a widget as "central widget" but then don't use it as such.
Just create the mdi area.

Ok, noted and corrected.

Many thanks for your help.

Best regards.

I am afraid I don't understand.

If you want a QMdiArea subwindow, why derive from QDialog?
You only do that if you want a dialog.

Dear anda_skoa,

Thanks for your message.

I've changed the class from QDialog to QWidget, but still having the same behaviour.
For your guidance, find a preview.jpg file where it is shown the behaviour of the app (both windows "Clientes" and "Clientes > Nuevo" have focus at the same time).

I'm also attaching a test file (mainwindow.ui) created with QtCreator, and a p.py file created with pyuic5, with two added lines that links the QWidgets to the mdiarea.
As I can understand from this sample, the subwindows are created in the addSubWindow mehtod, and they contain a QWidget object.
I've been following the idea of this file into the app but still having the same result.

Any help will be welcome.

Regards.

Got it!!

It was a setFocus call that was causing this problem ... don't know exactly why ... but after comenting the line the window focus problem has gone.
The setFocus was used to force the focus to be on a certain QLineEdit, but it seems that something else is going on.

Thanks for your help.


Regards.
