Parenting Deadline panels to PyQt5 QtWidgets.QDialog

Deadline

Hi,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to parent a panel to a custom PyQt5 widget? Specifically, I’ve been trying to get an instance of the Task panel into my widget. I can’t find anything in the docs or on the forums here. Anything relating to this would be very helpful

What I am trying to do is to filter the Task panel inside my custom widget to show only Rendering tasks. I might just end up creating a QListWidget to replicate the task panel using what I can get from Deadline.Scripting.RepositoryUtils

Below I have some dummy code that i’ve been using to test.

from Deadline.Scripting import MonitorUtils, RepositoryUtils
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtCore, QtGui

class CustomWindow(QtWidgets.QDialog):
    _instance = None

    @classmethod
    def show_window(cls):
        if not cls._instance:
            cls._instance = cls()
        cls._instance.show()
        cls._instance.raise_()
        return cls._instance

    def __init__(self):
        super(CustomWindow, self).__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle('Custom Window')
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 800, 600)

        self.hi = QtWidgets.QLabel("HI")

        self.layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.hi)

ui = CustomWindow.show_window()

Thanks in advanced :slight_smile: !

We tried running the script code you shared and it seems to work fine. Unfortunately, we do not have an documentation on creating a custom panel.

You can use our Deadline Monitor python script under “%Deadline_Path%\UI\DeadlineMonitor” for creating your custom UI panel. Do let us know if need any help.
