In this article we will see how we can select the item with the help of its content. By default when we create a combo box it shows the first item to be selected but we can change it, in order to do this we will use setCurrentText method.
Syntax : combo_box.setCurrentText(item)
Argument : It takes string as argument
Note : item should belong to the combo box item list
Action performed : It will select the given item
Below is the implementation –
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom 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 a combo box widget self.combo_box = QComboBox(self) # setting geometry of combo box self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 120, 30) # geek list geek_list = ["Geek", "Geeky Geek", "Legend Geek", "Ultra Legend Geek"] # adding list of items to combo box self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list) # item item ="Legend Geek" # setting current item self.combo_box.setCurrentText(item) # create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window() # start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
