PyQt5 – Groove border of Check Box

0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how to set groove border to the check box. By default, check box has no border although we can add border but it will be plain normal border. Below is the representation of groove border check box.

In order to add groove border to the check box we have to edit the style sheet which is used with the check box object. Below is the style sheet code for groove border.

QCheckBox
{
border : 5px blue;
border-style : groove;
}

Below is the implementation.

# importing libraries 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets 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 the check-box 
        checkbox = QCheckBox('Geek ?', self) 
  
        # setting geometry of check box 
        checkbox.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 30) 
  
        # adding groove border to the check box 
        checkbox.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox"
                               "{"
                               "border : 5px solid blue;"
                               "border-style : groove;"
                               "}") 
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
