In this article we will see how to set background color to a check box when it is in unchecked state and mouse hover it. In order to do so we have to change the style sheet of the indicator in the check box for unchecked state and when mouse is moving over it.
Below is the style sheet code which is used with the check box object.
QCheckBox::indicator:unchecked:hover
{
background-color : yellow;
}
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 the check-box checkbox = QCheckBox('Geek ?', self) # setting geometry of check box checkbox.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 30) # adding background color to the indicator # when mouse hover over it for unchecked state checkbox.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox::indicator:unchecked:hover" "{" "background-color : yellow;" "}") # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
