In this article we will see how to set skin to check box when mouse hover over it. 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.
In order to do add skin to the check box when mouse hover over it we have to edit the style sheet code, below is the style sheet code.
QCheckBox::hover
{
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) # changing style sheet code of check box # adding skin to indicator when mouse hover over it checkbox1.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox::hover" "{" "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 :
