show(microDialog)

addChildren(children)

Add child widgets/layouts into this widget.

Widget children get layed out using a VBoxLayout.

Typically, you’ll pass the parent/children into the constructor instead of calling this function directly.

Parameters:

children (list[Widget] | Layout) –

property visible

The dialog visibility.

property position

The location within the main window.

property margin

The spacing around the sides of the microdialog.

property spacing

The spacing between items inside the microdialog.

A tuple with horizontal and vertical spacing can be provided for microdialogs that use grid layouts.
