How do i open second window and then hide it?

I need a program to open a new window from main window. After some research i found how to do it, now im able to open another window from the first one.The problem comes when i want to hide the second window and go back to the first one.I tried self.hide() , self.close() , self.terminate(), self.destroy().

All of them just close the second window aswell as the first one.How can i only close the second one but switch to the first one again.I need this for a settings screen.I click a button it opens settings window , you change some settings and click done.After that i would like it to come back to first window but it just closes both.

This is my code so far :

main.py:

    Form = QtWidgets.QWidget()
    ui = Ui_Form()
    ui.setupUi(Form)
    Form.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

As for now my program is able to do following:

  1. Show first window.
  2. By clicking a button shows second window.
  3. By clicking "done" saves options to config file.
  4. By clicking "done" closes second window but first one stays open. (missing)

You should not modify the class generated by Qt Designer since it can generate problems, for more information read 1 and 2.

If you want a window that is used to configure some parameters then you must use QDialog so I recommend that when you build "AutoBowGUI.ui" you use that template as a base. And when you want to close the window use accept() or reject() so you can use the exec_() method.

Do not use time.sleep in the main GUI thread, if you want to perform a task after a certain time then you must use QTimer.singleShot().

I recommend using layouts to position the widgets inside the window.

The complete example is in this link.
