In this article, we will see how we can set floating property 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). 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.
In order to do this we will use setFloating method with the dock widget object. Syntax : dock.setFloating(True) Argument : It takes bool 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("Lazyroar", self) # push button push = QPushButton("Press", self) # setting widget to the dock dock.setWidget(push) # creating a label label = QLabel("Lazyroar", 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) # setting floating property dock.setFloating(True)# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
