QuickStart

1. Put ui_config.py in your program dir.
2. Import the class UiConfig and inherited in your class.
3. Add line 'self.set_config(your_config_dict)' after self.setupUi() if needed.
4. Add line 'self.keep_saving_config()' after self.setupUi().

That's all

Example:

In your program example.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from Ui_ui_config import Ui_Dialog
from ui_config import UiConfig
class Example(QtWidgets.QWidget, Ui_Dialog, UiConfig):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Example, self).__init__()
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.set_config({'category':['myframe',
                                     'frame3','groupBox_in_frame3','frame_in_frame3',
                                     'groupBox_2','vLayout','frame_in_groupbox2',
                                     'gridLayout',# this works,see notice
                                     'hLayout' # this doesn't work, the same as vLayout
                                     ],
                         'ignore':['lineEdit','groupBox', QtWidgets.QTextEdit]})
        self.keep_saving_config(1000)
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = Example()
ex.show()
import pprint
pprint.pprint('self.config:%s' % ex.config)
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Settings

• Items in category can be collected in a dict,it should be a name of a container widget or layout.
• Items in ignore can't be loaded to interface when program start.
• We can add varname,QObject_style,category_name in ignore dict.

As the example

Start the program and set some value:

then restart the program.We got a dict:

self.config:{'gridLayout':{'lineEdit_in_hLayout':'dfas23f','lineEdit_in_gridLayout':'sfdwer'},
             'frame3':{'groupBox_in_frame3':{'doubleSpinBox_4':2.0},
                       'frame_in_frame3':{'lineEdit_7':'sd2'}},
             'lineEdit_6':'wesd',
             'checkBox_2':True,
             'dateTimeEdit':datetime.datetime(2002, 1, 1, 0, 0),
             'dateEdit':datetime.datetime(1997, 1, 1, 0, 0),
             'checkBox':True,
             'doubleSpinBox_3_in_myframe2':2.0,
             'comboBox':1,
             'timeEdit':time.struct_time(tm_year=1900, tm_mon=1, tm_mday=1, tm_hour=2, tm_min=0, tm_sec=0, tm_wday=0, tm_yday=1, ' tm_isdst=-1),
             'radioButton_2':True,
             'groupBox_2':{'spinBox_5_in_groupbox':4,
                           'spinBox_2_in_groupbox':1,
                           'spinBox_4_in_groupbox':2,
                           'spinBox_3_in_groupbox':3,
                           'frame_in_groupbox2':{'lineEdit_4':'sdf1',
                                                 'lineEdit_9':'sdf12',
                                                 'lineEdit_3':'sdf13',
                                                 'lineEdit_8':'3dsf'}},
             'myframe':{'spinBox_in_myframe':2,
                        'lineEdit_in_myframe':'s23',
                        'doubleSpinBox_in_myframe':2.0,
                        'lineEdit_2_in_myframe':'sdf23'}}

Parameter in function self.keep_saving_config(1000) control the frequency of updates on self.config.

Notice

If the type of category is Layout(Vertical,Horizontal,Grid,Form),only the outermost one can work.In the example,only gridLayout works.
