We know by default when we resize the window, status bar also get resized. In this article we will see how to set the maximum size of the status bar i.e when we extend the window status bar should not extend beyond this size.
In order to do this we will use setMaximumSize method with status bar object.
Syntax : self.statusBar().setMaximumSize(width, height)
Argument : It takes two argument, both integer which refers width and height.
Action performed : It sets the maximum size to status bar.
Code :
from PyQt5.QtCore import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # set the title self.setWindowTitle("Python") # setting the geometry of window self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) # setting status bar message self.statusBar().showMessage("This is status bar") # setting border and padding with different sizes self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;") # setting maximum size self.statusBar().setMaximumSize(400, 100) # creating a label widget self.label_1 = QLabel("status bar", self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting up the border self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :1px solid blue;") # resizing label self.label_1.adjustSize() # show all the widgets self.show() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
