Hi Everyone,

I have a question with the closeEvent method. If I use self.accept() in the close event I get what I am expecting. If I use event.accept() the window did not execute. Why is event.accept() not working? See below for the example.

After the second window closes I was expecting the print statement to print. Am I not understanding how exec_() works?

Qt Code: 
  1. class Tool1(QtGui.QDialog, ui_tool_1_1.Ui_tool1_1_Dialog):
  2.         """Tool1 dialog"""
  3.  
  4.         # class Initialization
  5.         def __init__(self, parent=None):
  6.  
  7.             # python super so script does not need to call the methods by name.
  8.             super(Tool1, self).__init__(parent)
  9.             self.setupUi(self)
  10.  
  11.             # Push button to open a new gui.
  12.             self.add_evt_pushButton.clicked.connect(self.addEvt)
  13.  
  14.         def addEvt(self):
  15.             test = AppField(parent=self)
  16.             if test.exec_():
  17.                 print"hello"
  18.  
  19.  
  20.     class AppField(QtGui.QDialog, ui_app_field.Ui_AppFieldDialog):
  21.          """
  22.          Tool 2. 
  23.          """
  24.          # class Initialization
  25.         def __init__(self, parent=None):
  26.             super(AppField, self).__init__(parent)
  27.             self.setupUi(self)
  28.  
  29.             # connection to okay button.
  30.             self.ok_pushButton.clicked.connect(self.okay_button)
  31.  
  32.         def okay_button(self):
  33.             """
  34.             handles the ok push button.
  35.             """
  36.             self.close()
  37.  
  38.         def closeEvent(self, event):
  39.             if QtGui.QMessageBox.question(self, "warning", "do you want to close",
  40.                                      QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes|QtGui.QMessageBox.No) == QtGui.QMessageBox.No:
  41.                 event.ignore()
  42.             else:
  43.                 event.accept()
