PyQt5 – Accessing tool tip of the Combo Box
In this article we will see how we can access the tool tip of the combo box, tool tip is basically a tip occur when mouse hover over the combo box widget. In order to set the tool tip to the combo box we use setToolTip method.
Note : Tool tip get only visible when mouse hover over the combo box not on the drop down view
In order to access the tool tip we use toolTip method
Syntax : combo_box.setToolTip()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns string
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for widgets def UiComponents(self): # creating a combo box widget self.combo_box = QComboBox(self) # setting geometry of combo box self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 150, 30) # geek list geek_list = ["Sayian", "Super Sayian"] # making it editable self.combo_box.setEditable(True) # adding list of items to combo box self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list) # tool tip tip = "Sayian Tip" # setting tool tip to the combo box self.combo_box.setToolTip(tip) # getting the tool tip get_tip = self.combo_box.toolTip() # creating label to show the tool tip label = QLabel("Tool tip : " + get_tip, self) # setting geometry of the label label.setGeometry(200, 100, 200, 30) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
