there we go

#

the cfg json file is needed for the script to work

thin sierra
#

I would guess the about button isn't working too?

#

in fact I think all the buttons are not working for different reasons

#

what I would try is:
MainApp.SettingsButton.clicked.connect(lambda: self.SettingsMenu())
but I'm not sure about the documentation for the .clicked.connect function

#

Likewise
GlobalVars.buttonA.clicked.connect(lambda: ButtonClicked("A"))

quick linden
#

@hollow dagger did you figure it out?

hollow dagger
quick linden
#

thats running a function upon click

thin sierra
#

you need to pass in a function

hollow dagger
#

i never had to do that

quick linden
#

what were you using before?

hollow dagger
hollow dagger
hollow dagger
#

the buttons inside the settings menu dont

quick linden
#

gimme a second, looking up an old project

hollow dagger
#

that set the current day

#

yall wanna vc?

quick linden
# 
        self.ui.nav_home_button.clicked.connect(self.nav_button_click)
#

this is the format i used

hollow dagger
#

yes

quick linden
#

let me take al ook at your code again

hollow dagger
#

i just use class definitions

#

nvm cant talk in the python vcs yet]

cobalt solar
#

i also need some help btw👍

thin sierra
quick linden
# 
        GlobalVars.buttonA.clicked.connect(ButtonClicked("A"))
        GlobalVars.buttonC.clicked.connect(ButtonClicked("C"))
        GlobalVars.buttonB.clicked.connect(ButtonClicked("B"))

these are wrong

hollow dagger
#

how come

#

im calling button clicked

thin sierra
#

have you tried the lambda trick

hollow dagger
#

lemme try it

thin sierra
#

put it in a function, so that there's something to call

quick linden
#

ok i changed them to lambdas

hollow dagger
#

WHAT KIND OF BLACK MAGIC SORCERY WAS THAT

quick linden
#

then the settings button worked the first time

hollow dagger
#

IT WOKRD

quick linden
#

but iti snt for the second because ....

# 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\Bilal\python discord\cordless\main.py", line 171, in SettingsMenu
    Settings.__init__(self)
  File "c:\Users\Bilal\python discord\cordless\main.py", line 231, in __init__
    Settings.Layout.addWidget(GlobalVars.buttonA)
RuntimeError: Internal C++ object (PySide6.QtWidgets.QPushButton) already deleted.

key error 7

quick linden
#

so lets take al ook at this

thin sierra
#

yeah that's probably a different problem

hollow dagger
#

that might me a you issue

#

bc im not getting it

#

i am getting it

thin sierra
#

if you just run the function now, you aren't getting the behaviour later

hollow dagger
#

my brain doesnt understand lol

cobalt solar
hollow dagger
#

is it like a order issue

#

like i need to put the func farther down the script or

thin sierra
#

It's the difference between

x = print("hello world")
# and
y = lambda: print("hello world")

In the first case x is None and it prints instantly.
In the second case y is a lambda and it prints when you call y()

#

you want the "it prints later" behaviour so you gotta put it in a lambda

hollow dagger
#

ok

#

so i cant open the settings menu a second time bc it just deltes a c++ object

#

i never had this issue

quick linden
#

yeah let me see what you're doing here

#

have you used pyside before?

hollow dagger
#

this is my first project with ti

quick linden
#

well yeah there you go

hollow dagger
#

but i had it running perfectly before i switched the config file to json

quick linden
#

its a much more mature library than tkinter imo so you have to change how your program

hollow dagger
#

ah

quick linden
#

Settings.Layout.addWidget(GlobalVars.buttonA)

#

so you need to make another button

#

not use ones that youve used elsewhere

#

i think thats the main issue

hollow dagger
#

maybe i need to define the button in settings .init

quick linden
#

mmm

hollow dagger
#

bc when i close the window it destorys evrey thing inside the window

quick linden
#

yeah so you need separate objects

#

how much time do you have for this project?

hollow dagger
#

i was only using thoes buttons for the settings menu

hollow dagger
quick linden
#

i can share you a youtube video i used a while ago to try to teach myself pyside

#

oh ok great

#

one sec

hollow dagger
#

im in high school

#

so i got plenty

quick linden
#

make a new project and run through this separately

hollow dagger
#

does it use pyside 6 or 5

#

bc i run kde 6 and would prefer pyside 6

quick linden
#

its like 75% designer 25% code

#

i did it in 6

hollow dagger
#

i dont wanna use a designer

quick linden
#

oh okay

hollow dagger
#

bc then i cant have dynamicly created elements

#

such as the labels for classes

quick linden
#

i mean you can add that functionality later

hollow dagger
#

true

quick linden
#

im just saying, look through this, follow it, there may be some slight differences between 5 and 6

#

but it should still work

hollow dagger
#

ye

#

and i need to find how to get qt designer 6

quick linden
hollow dagger
#

it shoulve updated when i switched to plasma 6

quick linden
#

oh wait thats just addons

hollow dagger
#

ye

quick linden
#

should be there with just pyside6

hollow dagger
#

i have the pyside 6 library bc KDE my Desktop Enviroment depends on QT6

quick linden
#

heres where mine lives in vscode

#

its in the venv

#

this is on windows

hollow dagger
#

neat

#

now there is ligit only one issue left

#

key error 7

#

in the json

#

its saying there is no key "7" but there is

hollow dagger
quick linden
#

sure i can help when i have time

hollow dagger
#

ye but also to have someone to show off my code to

quick linden
#

also im not getting that key error after putting in those lambdas

hollow dagger
#

as many people in my life tune out when i start talking about the app i made

quick linden
#

they dont know the work it takes 😉

But they also have other things on their mind im sure
