In this article we will see how we can set background image to the view part of the combo box when mouse hover over it. View part of combo box is the drop-down menu in which all the items are shown. In order to add or retrieve view object to combo box we use setView and view method.
In order to do this we have to change the style sheet code associated with it, below is the style sheet code
QListView::hover
{
background-image : url(image.png);
}
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 check-able combo box object self.combo_box = QComboBox(self) # making combo box editable self.combo_box.setEditable(True) # setting geometry of combo box self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 200, 80) # geek list geek_list = ["Sayian", "Super Sayian", "Super Sayian 2", "Super Sayian B"] # adding list of items to combo box self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list) # setting style sheet of the combo box # adding background image to the view part of combo box # when mouse hover over it print(type(self.combo_box.view())) self.combo_box.setStyleSheet("QListView::hover" "{" "background-image : url(logo.png);" "border : 2px solid black;" "}") # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() window.show() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
When cursor hover over the list view
