0 0 1 minute read

We know that we can resize the window of PyQt5 application but when we resize the window, status bar also get resized according to the size of window. While shrinking the window size we can set minimum size so that status bar can’t be shrank any more. In this article, we will see how to do this, in order to do this we will use setMinimumSize() method.

Syntax : self.statusBar().setMinimumSize(width, height)

Argument : It takes two integer as argument i.e width and height.

Action performed : It sets minimum size of status bar.

Code :

from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
import sys 
  
  
class Window(QMainWindow): 
    def __init__(self): 
        super().__init__() 
  
        # set the title 
        self.setWindowTitle("Python") 
  
        # setting  the geometry of window 
        self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) 
  
        # setting status bar message 
        self.statusBar().showMessage("This is status bar") 
  
        # setting  border 
        self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;") 
  
        # setting minimum size of status bar 
        self.statusBar().setMinimumSize(300, 40) 
  
        # creating a label widget 
        self.label_1 = QLabel("status bar", self) 
  
        # moving position 
        self.label_1.move(100, 100) 
  
        # setting up the border 
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :1px solid blue;") 
  
        # resizing label 
        self.label_1.adjustSize() 
  
        # show all the widgets 
        self.show() 
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
