To make a GUI module accessible to the GUI infrastructure, you must register the module in the main window code. The register command takes two arguments: one for the name to be displayed in the Module combo box in CAE, and a second that specifies the name of the module to import. For more information, see “Registering modules,” Section 14.2.5. In most cases you register the module in the main window code by calling the module constructor at the end of the module GUI file.

If the example shown in “GUI module example,” Section 8.2, resides in a file named myModuleGui.py, myModuleGui must be used as the second argument to the registerModule method, as shown in the following statement:

# Register modules
#
self.registerModule(
    displayedName='My Module', moduleName='myModuleGui')
