edifice.CustomWidget

class edifice.CustomWidget

Bases: QtWidgetElement

Custom widgets that you can define.

Not all widgets are currently supported by Edifice. You can create your own base Qt Widget element by inheriting from QtWidgetElement directly, or more simply by overriding CustomWidget:

class MyWidgetElement(CustomWidget):
    def create_widget(self):
        # This function should return the new widget
        # (with parent set to None; Edifice will handle parenting)
        return QtWidgets.FooWidget()

    def paint(self, widget, newprops):
        # This function should update the widget
        for prop in newprops:
            if prop == "text":
                widget.setText(newprops[prop])
            elif prop == "value":
                widget.setValue(newprops[prop])

The two methods to override are create_widget, which should return the Qt widget, and paint, which takes the current widget and new props, and should update the widget according to the new props. The created widget inherits all the properties of Qt widgets, allowing the user to, for example, set the style.
