In this article we will see how we can set skin to check box when it is already in intermediate (indeterminate) state and when it get pressed. By default there is no skin associated to the check box, skin is basically background image that can adjust it self according to the size of check box.
Intermediate or indeterminate state is the third state of the check box which can be added with the help of setTristate method.
In order to do add skin to the intermediate check box when it get pressed we have to edit the style sheet code, below is the style sheet code.
QCheckBox::indeterminate:pressed
{
border-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 the check-box checkbox1 = QCheckBox('Geek ?', self) # setting geometry of check box checkbox1.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 40) # setting tri-state check box checkbox1.setTristate(True) # changing style sheet code of check box # adding skin to indeterminate check box when it get pressed checkbox1.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox::indeterminate:pressed" "{" "border-image : url(image.png);" "}") # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
