1. P1 send message to RabbitMQ
2. C1 is an pyqt4 desktop tray application,which will show the above message once received.
The code is as following:

        QtGui.QMessageBox.critical(None, "Systray",

    window = Window()
    window.show()   
    from threading import Thread
    thread = Thread(target = subsribeRabbit)
    thread.start()
    #thread.join()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())  

The question is that how could i call window.showMessage in the callback() function?Thanks in advance, i’m new to both Python and RabbitMQ.

    The trick is to define window for global variable as following:

    import sip
    sip.setapi('QVariant', 2)
    
    from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
    
    import systray_rc
    
    window = Window()
    window.show()

            self.createMessageGroupBox()
    
            self.iconLabel.setMinimumWidth(self.durationLabel.sizeHint().width())
    
            self.createActions()
            self.createTrayIcon()
    
            self.showMessageButton.clicked.connect(self.showMessage)
            self.showIconCheckBox.toggled.connect(self.trayIcon.setVisible)
            self.iconComboBox.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.setIcon)
            self.trayIcon.messageClicked.connect(self.messageClicked)
            self.trayIcon.activated.connect(self.iconActivated)
    
            mainLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
            mainLayout.addWidget(self.iconGroupBox)
            mainLayout.addWidget(self.messageGroupBox)
