closeEvent doesn't seem to fire properly

usage:

def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    main_window = RemingtonUI()
    styles.dark(app)
    styled_window = windows.ModernWindow(main_window)
    styled_window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

RemingtonUI usage:

class RemingtonUI(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(QMainWindow,self).__init__()
        # other setup here 
        self.ui = uic.loadUi('remington/resources/mainwindow.ui')
        self.setCentralWidget(self.ui)

The closeEvent call doesn’t happen after clicking the red close button once windows.ModernWindows(main_window) is called. It doesn’t happen if I set self.ui.closeEvent = self.closeEvent either.

Hi,

One solution would be to subclass ModernWindow and link there all the slots from the enclosed window. I have implemented the close event link on ModernWindow.

Ok, I dug around, and I found where the problem is. class ModernWindow(QWidget) is subclassing QWidget and thus taking the closeEvent method.

I added closeEvent() to ModernWindow and the closeEvent responded correctly with “It worked”
