PyQt5 – How to hide the items from drop down box in Combo Box

In this article we will see how we can hide the items of the combo box from the drop down box i.e from view box. In order to do so we have to get the view object of combo box and had to hide it.

In order to hide the items we have to do the following steps –

1. Create Combo box
2. Add items to the combo box
3. Get the view object of combo box
4. Hide the view object

Syntax :

# getting view part of combo box
view = self.combo_box.view()

# hiding the view part
view.setHidden(True)

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 a combo box widget
        self.combo_box = QComboBox(self)
  
        # setting geometry of combo box
        self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 150, 30)
  
        # geek list
        geek_list = ["Sayian", "Super Sayian", "Super Sayian 2", "Super Sayian B"]
  
        # making it editable
        self.combo_box.setEditable(True)
  
        # adding list of items to combo box
        self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list)
  
        # getting view part of combo box
        view = self.combo_box.view()
  
        # making view box hidden
        view.setHidden(True)
  
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
  
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
  
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
