Hi
I wanna say thanks to maxon, for recent enhancements for python bridge.
Alternative ide for ui - qtdesigner, transferring of data to python by _pyside-uic
_
a few recent tests with pyside 1.2.4 _
in c4d
or kraken by Hybride Technologies for FE
upd.
i remove pic from dead image hoster

I've been using PySide ( and also C++ Qt gui code ) in my plugins for this same kind of thing in R13 for a while now.
I'm even launching Qt based dialogs from C4D plugins that can interact with the scene objects.
Of course they can't be docked like a GeDialog.
What new enhancements have they added for Qt since R13?

Scott, i tried before, got different glitches and crashes - probably i had a few amount of experience or wrong python/pyside*
. I'm studying qt/pyside
* - even today, i post issue at kraken's git, about wrong display of node body(rounded rectangle)... resolved by new pyside v.1.2.4... before was same as for houdini or maya - 1.2.2
-----
so even, i create such topic

yes, 
but can be to create more complex qt dialog.

Ok.
I just wanted to make sure Maxon didn't actually do anything new to make Qt stuff integrate with C4D.
I've asked for this many times over the years. And the replies from the Maxon devs has always been negative about Qt. So it surprised me to see you saying "new stuff" for handling Qt.
I've had to figure out how to integrate Qt with C4D on my own. The same way I had to figure out how to use Win32 code and Win32 dialogs with C4D.
PySide is dead simple to use in C4D due to python itself (nothing Maxon did). Even in R13.
But C++ is a bit harder because you need to create a Custom Build Tool for moc'ing it to generate the signals & slots code in VS.
I had considered doing Qt<-->C4D YouTube tutorials for both PySide & C++.
But since I'm using R13. I have to use VS2010 with it.
And I figured those programs were too outdated to use for tutorials.

argh, sorry, that bring false info what maxon done. i only point that moving to vfx platform concept(2015 - http://www.vfxplatform.com ) - change to pyhon 2.7 > make a few pluses for maxon
yes, this also stopped me to learn pyside or pyQT

oh yes, i made qtport of Fabric Engine(it's canvas is qt app gui) to one cad tool. Sdk of this cad is tiny(early bird), so it was easy

Yes. Although I just remembered that I used PyQt. Not PySide.
Here's one of the examples I wrote.
This code creates floating windowless Qt widgets that can interact with things in C4D.
#This code creates various gizmos without a visible dialog window (a SplashScreen)
#Then closes it after 5 seconds
import c4d,sys,time
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore, uic
from os import path
QtCore.QCoreApplication.addLibraryPath(path.join(path.dirname(QtCore.__file__), "plugins"))
def handleButton() :
print "Button Clicked"
def handleSlider(value) :
for i in xrange(0,101) :
if value == i: print i
def handleCHKBOX(state) :
if state == QtCore.Qt.Checked: print "on"
else: print "off"
def main() :
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
curTime = QtCore.QTime.currentTime()
print curTime
#Creates a gizmo with no dialog and forces it to be the topmost window
#Also puts an icon on the button
button = QtGui.QPushButton('Test')
button.move(700, 400) #Screen X,Y position
icon = QtGui.QIcon("C:/Users/user/Desktop/myimage.jpg")
button.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(64,64))
button.setIcon(icon)
button.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.SplashScreen | QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
button.show()
button.clicked.connect(handleButton)
#Creates a gizmo with no dialog and forces it to be the topmost window
labelText = "Hello"
myLabel = QtGui.QLabel("<font color=red size=72>" + labelText + "</font>")
myLabel.move(700, 350) #Screen X,Y position
myLabel.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.SplashScreen | QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
myLabel.show()
#Creates a label gizmo that is used to display an image
image = QtGui.QPixmap( "C:/Users/user/Desktop/myimage.jpg" )
myLabel = QtGui.QLabel()
myLabel.setPixmap(image)
myLabel.move(700, 350) #Screen X,Y position
myLabel.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.SplashScreen | QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
myLabel.show()
#Creates a slider gizmo
sld = QtGui.QSlider(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal)
sld.setFocusPolicy(QtCore.Qt.NoFocus)
sld.setMinimum(0)
sld.setMaximum(101)
sld.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.SplashScreen | QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
sld.setGeometry( 700, 300, 100, 20) #Screen X,Y position, width&height
sld.valueChanged[int].connect(handleSlider)
sld.show()
#Creates a checkbox gizmo
cb = QtGui.QCheckBox('My checkbox')
cb.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.SplashScreen | QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
cb.toggle()
cb.stateChanged.connect(handleCHKBOX)
cb.setGeometry(700, 250, 85, 15) #Screen X,Y position, width&height
cb.show()
#Close the gizmos after 5 seconds
QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(5000, app.quit)
app.exec_()
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
To be honest I toyed around for this for like one day. Said to myself...heck this is simple...Made some examples and some notes...And then never used it again.
I don't use Python very much other than for quickly testing things in C4D. And I never install custom python modules like this.
I stay mostly in C++.

Interesting sample, for example i spent a week or more to understand how assembly their widget python-module-of-fabricui 
still no luck - i feel that it not finished. I use "hybrid" - c/c++ extensions and scripting
your example, i moved from such declaration of QtGui.QApplication, make like in maya or hou
import c4d
import sys
from PySide import QtCore, QtGui, shiboken
from PySide.QtCore import *
from PySide.QtGui import *
class Window(QtGui.QMainWindow) :
def __init__(self) :
super(Window,self).__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self) :
self.setGeometry(200,500,400,400)
self.setWindowTitle("Test")
centralWidget = QtGui.QWidget()
self.setCentralWidget(centralWidget)
def main() :
app = QtGui.QApplication.instance() # checks if QApplication already exists
if not app: # create QApplication if it doesnt exist
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
print "qt app"
app.aboutToQuit.connect(app.deleteLater)
print "qt app ins"
win = Window()
win.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
win.setProperty("saveWindowPref", True )
if win.isVisible() == False:
win.show()
app.exec_()
while (win.isVisible()) :
app.processEvents()
if win.isVisible() == False:
print "exit"
win.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
