hi
I an trying to get a global variable(string) to display in a textbox using PyQt4 it works in a script but not in an object orientened fashion

This is the problem line of code
This is the error
Thank you for your help

Well, let's start with an easy question. Which of the two lines is the error message referring to? You should be able to tell from the rest of the error message. That information should be in the lines that you mistakenly thought were not important enough to share.

This line
textbox = QtGui.QLineEdit(self, glogal_variable)

Well, you can see from the official Qt 4 documentation that QLineEdit has two overloaded constructors:

1. where you pass in the QLineEdit's parent widget
2. where you pass in the text value, followed by the parent widget

Source:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qlineedit.html

Now, I assume that "glogal_variable" is the value and "self" is the parent. If so, then you need to reverse their order.

If I recall correctly, the list of overloads would have been in the information that you didn't post

Hi
I have tried reversing them as you suggest, Didn't work!

Is this the info you require

QLineEdit(QWidget parent=None): too many arguments
QLineEdit(QString, QWidget parent=None): argument 1 has unexpected type "window"

"Didn't work!" does not help others to understand what is happening on your system.

Please see the site FAQ, especially here and What makes a good issue description for guidance on posting your question.

Dugan's suggestion was based on a clearly stated assumption about the information not supplied in your original question. Did you read and understand the QT QLineEdit documentation in the link he provided? Do you know the types of the arguments that you are passing to it?

That is clearly telling you that the type of the first argument being passed is not of type QString.

But it is also not clear from your sparse information whether this message was produced before or after you reversed the order of the arguments which didn't work, and which are still of types unknown to anyone here...

So please restate your problem description and provide the complete picture, including the intended overload prototype, the type definitions of each of the arguments being passed, and the complete error messages that result.

No, that's not enough. And with the way communications with you are going, nothing but the following will be:

You need to post a full program that demonstrates the problem you're having. If your program is long, reduce it to just something that both a) is runnable and b) demonstrates the problem. Then post both that, and the full output from running it. I need to be able to see the line numbers in the error output and match them to what I see in the source code.

You have been redacting a lot of information from your error output. Stop doing that.

All i would like to know is it possible to display the content of a global variable in "QtGui.QLineEdit()"
function. Alternatively, a label.

Yes, it is. Both.

For debugging output, though, you have to post more than two lines of code without context.

The answer is yes.

Is that really all you wanted to know? If yes, marked the thread as Solved.

If you also want to know why it wasn't working for you, then post the information asked for.
