I would like when I click on a buttom from a toolbar created with PyQt get the selected items in a QListWidget created in other class (LisWorkDirectory class).
In the ToolBar.py in the compilation_ function, I would like to get all selected items. I want to get the instance of the ListWorkDirectory class to get the QListWidget that I created the first time I have launched my app.
If I instanciate ListWorkDirectory, I get a new instance, and the selectedItems return a empty list, it is a normal behaviour.
Maybe my architecture is not correct, so if you have any suggestion or remarks don't' hesitate to learn me.
Below my code so that you understand my request :
main.py
from MainWindow import MainWindow
from MenuBar import MenuBar
from ToolBar import ToolBar
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
import sys
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
#Window
windowApp = MainWindow("pyCompile")
#MenuBar
menuBar = MenuBar()
#ToolBar
toolBar = ToolBar()
windowApp.setMenuBar(menuBar)
windowApp.addToolBar(toolBar)
windowApp.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Thank you for your help.
ToolBar(windowApp.myListFolder)windowAppas parameterToolBar(windowApp)and then it will have access to all variables insideMainWindowMainWindowmay haveself.parentto accessMainWindowand they could useself.parent.myListFolderListWorkDirectoryyou createself.item = ...but this class has functionself.item(number)to get item from list - and yourself.item = ...replace original function.
