In this article we will see how we can check if floating property is enabled 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). This property holds whether the dock widget is floating. A floating dock widget is presented to the user as an independent window “on top” of its parent QMainWindow, instead of being docked in the QMainWindow, it can be set with the help of setFloating method.
In order to do this we will use isFloating method with the dock widget object. Syntax : dock.isFloating() Argument : It takes no 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 floating property dock.setFloating(False) # 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 tot he dock widget dock.setGeometry(100, 0, 200, 30) # checking floating property value = dock.isFloating() # setting text to the label label.setText("Is Floating : " + str(value)) # create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
