0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how we can hide the items of the combo box from the drop down box i.e from view box. In order to do so we have to get the view object of combo box and had to hide it.

In order to hide the items we have to do the following steps –

1. Create Combo box
2. Add items to the combo box
3. Get the view object of combo box
4. Hide the view object

Syntax :

# getting view part of combo box
view = self.combo_box.view()

# hiding the view part
view.setHidden(True)

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", "Super Sayian 2", "Super Sayian B"] 
  
        # making it editable 
        self.combo_box.setEditable(True) 
  
        # adding list of items to combo box 
        self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list) 
  
        # getting view part of combo box 
        view = self.combo_box.view() 
  
        # making view box hidden 
        view.setHidden(True) 
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
