Bringing IDA PRO plugin writing into 2014

[Storm Shadow]

I have some days playing with ida pro and PYQT.
only to find out that hexrays way off implimenting QT / PySide it is old and buggy.
Thing is that ida itself is a QT app, and Qt app + Qt app = CRASH!!

So i set the task off doing it right. Making it how it should be from start.tricking IDA PRO and make real QT apps
its a little long, but would definitely change plugin writing, so hope you 12 minuts.

We can also call the app via hotkey so you know.

Just zoom ctrl + to get better view

Got QAplications to work in Windows and Ida at the same time.
you have to edit at the end off the file and insert this

app = QtGui.QApplication.instance()
	if not app:
		app = QtGui.QApplication([])

before we had to change QAplication to Qwidget, the fix above should work on both apps.

before

if __name__ == "__main__":
	import sys
	app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
	Frame = QtGui.QFrame()
	ui = Ui_Frame()
	ui.setupUi(Frame)
	Frame.show()
	sys.exit(app.exec_())

after

if __name__ == "__main__":
	import sys
	app = QtGui.QApplication.instance()
	if not app:
		app = QtGui.QApplication([])
	Frame = QtGui.QFrame()
	ui = Ui_Frame()
	ui.setupUi(Frame)
	Frame.show()
	app.exec_()
