I am writing GUI app with the help of Qt Designer. The app consists of multiple windows, so when the user clicks the push button on one window, the next window should open and the current window should hide. I achieved this feature for going from window 1 to window 2. But I am not able to do this to move from window 2 to window 3. I think this might be because the window 2 gets user arguments.



Is there any way to hide the window which gets user arguments?



The code is as follows:

  • Also are you sure you don't mean close instead of hide? To be at window 3 with two minimized windows feels pretty weird.

  • @GreenCell No. I just want to hide the current window, while opening the next window. But the close is also not working.

I am writing GUI app with the help of Qt Designer. The app consists of multiple windows, so when the user clicks the push button on one window, the next window should open and the current window should hide. I achieved this feature for going from window 1 to window 2. But I am not able to do this to move from window 2 to window 3. I think this might be because the window 2 gets user arguments.



Is there any way to hide the window which gets user arguments?



The code is as follows:



Class for main window:



import sys
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
import user_data


class MainWindow(object):

def user_data(self):
self.user_data_window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
self.next_window = user_data.Ui_UserData()
self.next_window.setupUi(self.user_data_window)
main_window.hide()
self.user_data_window.show()

def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
MainWindow.resize(640, 480)
self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow)
self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget")
self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(self.centralwidget)
self.label.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(140, 100, 361, 81))
font = QtGui.QFont()
font.setPointSize(24)
font.setBold(True)
font.setWeight(75)
self.label.setFont(font)
self.label.setObjectName("label")
self.pushButton = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralwidget)
self.pushButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(260, 260, 75, 51))
self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.user_data)
MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
self.menubar = QtWidgets.QMenuBar(MainWindow)
self.menubar.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 640, 21))
self.menubar.setObjectName("menubar")
MainWindow.setMenuBar(self.menubar)
self.statusbar = QtWidgets.QStatusBar(MainWindow)
self.statusbar.setObjectName("statusbar")
