8.1.1 createDialog class method

The signature of the createDialog class method is the following :

def createDialog(cls, parent, instance_name, xobject, editor, xattribute):

thus if you re-implement this class method, you have to follow this signature. The attributes are:

cls : the class,
parent : the qt parent object,
instance_name : two solutions for this attribute. If the dialog is called for an object creation (in short, from menubar), the instance_name is a proposition for the instance name based on the class name and the already presents objects. If the dialog is called for the edition of an existing object (via a popup, Edit), instance_name is None
object : None for an object creation, the object for an object edition.
editor : None unless the dialog is called from the edition on an attribute in a edition dialog of another object. For instance, an object from the study is edited, this object has an attribute a which is an instance of class A, then if you are editing a for the edition dialog, the editor attribute will be the edition dialog.
xattribute : None unless the dialog edition is called on an attribute of an object in the study. It is called the attribute direct edition. For instance, if you need to modify an integer attribute in an object, you just select the attribute, and with a popup, Edit, you can modify only this attribute.

The default implementation of createDialog coded in XObject class launch a dialog box with a line by __init__xattributes__ for an object creation and a line by __init__xattributes__ plus a line for each read-write __object__xattributes__ for an object edition. The edition of an attribute in this dialog box is described in section 8.2.
