In this article we will see how we can set widget to 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 windows can be moved inside their current area, moved into new areas and floated (e.g., undocked) by the end-user. We can add widget to the dock widget, widget can any widget or even a single widget which contains many small child widgets. Along with dock widget the widget set to it also moves with it.
In order to do this we will use setWidget method with the dock widget object. Syntax : dock.setWidget(widget) Argument : It takes QWidget as argument Return : It returns None
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) # setting geometry tot he dock widget dock.setGeometry(100, 0, 200, 30) # 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) # adding action to the push button push.clicked.connect(lambda: label.setText("Dock Widget's Push button pressed"))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
