PyQt5 QSpinBox – Setting Special Value Text

0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how we can set the special value text to the spin box. Setting special value text to spin box will display this special text instead of a numeric value whenever the current value is equal to minimum value. Typical use of this is to indicate that this choice has a special (default) meaning.

In order to do this we use setSpecialValueText method with the spin box object.

Syntax : spin_box.setSpecialValueText(text)

Argument : It takes string as argument

Return : It returns None

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 spin box 
        self.spin = QSpinBox(self) 
  
        # setting geometry to spin box 
        self.spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 250, 40) 
  
        # setting range to the spin box 
        self.spin.setRange(0, 999999) 
  
        # setting prefix to spin 
        self.spin.setPrefix("PREFIX ") 
  
        # setting suffix to spin 
        self.spin.setSuffix(" SUFFIX") 
  
        # setting special value text 
        self.spin.setSpecialValueText("Geeks for Geeks") 
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
