Override the closeEvent
method of QWidget
in your main window.
For example:
class MainWindow(QWidget): # or QMainWindow
...
def closeEvent(self, event):
# do stuff
if can_exit:
event.accept() # let the window close
else:
event.ignore()
Another possibility is to use the QApplication
‘s aboutToQuit
signal like this:
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
app.aboutToQuit.connect(myExitHandler) # myExitHandler is a callable
