In this article we will see how we can check if the given area is allowed areas of the QDockWidget. QDockWidget provides the concept of dock widgets, also known as tool palettes or utility windows. Dock windows are secondary windows placed in the dock widget area around the central widget in a QMainWindow(original window). Dock can be moved anywhere in the main window, setting allowed areas where the dock widget may be placed it can be set with the help of setAllowedAreas method.
In order to do this we will use isAreaAllowed method with the dock widget object.
Syntax : dock.isAreaAllowed(area)
Argument : It takes QDockWidgetArea object as argument
Return : It returns bool
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sysclass Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating dock widget dock = QDockWidget("neveropen", self) # push button push = QPushButton("Press", self) # setting widget to the dock dock.setWidget(push) # creating a label label = QLabel("neveropen", self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 80) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # setting geometry to the dock widget dock.setGeometry(100, 0, 200, 30) # checking if this area is allowed areas of the dock value = dock.isAreaAllowed(Qt.AllDockWidgetAreas) # setting text to the label label.setText("Is Allowed Areas : " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
