Prompt User with a Dialog Box

wolf123 · 06-13-2022, 05:55 PM

Hi!

I am writing a plug-in and I would like to prompt the user with a little dialogue box to set some preferences.

Is there a helper function (similar to question_dialog() in `https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/blob/master/src/calibre/gui2/__init__.py`) which would allow me to create a dialog and add widgets as needed?

Many thanks!

There's no helper function that lets you create arbitrary dialogs. If you want to create a dialog use QDialog.
