In this article we will see how we can enable the accept of drops in spin box, we know we can make drag enabled using setDragEnabled method with line edit object of spin box, but what is the use of dragging the text we can’t drop it anywhere. Allowing accept drop means that spin box has a property now to accept the drop text.
In order to do this we use setAcceptDrops method with the spin box.
Syntax : line_edit.setAcceptDrops(True)
Argument : It takes bool as argument
Return: It returns None
Note : This method only make the accept drop property true in order to accept and display the text we have to add dragEnterEvent and dropEvent to spin box object.
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 spin box self.spin = QSpinBox(self) # setting geometry to spin box self.spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 250, 40) # setting prefix to spin self.spin.setPrefix("Prefix ") # setting suffix to spin self.spin.setSuffix(" Suffix") # allowing accept drops self.spin.setAcceptDrops(True) # creating another spin box another_spin = QSpinBox(self) # setting drag enabled another_spin.lineEdit().setDragEnabled(True) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
