[PyQt] How to get the event of child widget

[Jothy]

Thanks,

Here is another example which describes how to ignore the close event
of the subwindow, but the problem is it doesn't close even if the main
window closes.How to tell to the MainWindow close event to close all
the subWindows,is that by child.close().


import sys
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *

class SubWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent = None):
        super(SubWindow, self).__init__(parent)
        label = QLabel("Sub Window",  self)

    def closeEvent(self, event):
        event.ignore()

class MainWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent = None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
        openButton = QPushButton("Open Sub Window",  self)
        self.connect(openButton, SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.openSub)


    def openSub(self):
        self.sub = SubWindow()
        self.sub.show()


    def closeEvent(self,event):
        widgetList = QApplication.topLevelWidgets()
        numWindows = len(widgetList)
        if numWindows > 1:
            event.accept()
        else:
            event.ignore()

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
mainWin =MainWindow()
mainWin.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
