In order to do we will use setStyleSheet() method.

Syntax : self.statusBar().setStyleSheet(“border :3px black; border-style : dashed”)

Argument : It take string as argument.

Action performed : It set dashed border.

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 with dashed border") 
  
        # setting dashed border to status bar 
        self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px black;   
                                        border-style : dashed") 
  
  
        # 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())
