In this article we will see how we can set skin to the check box when it is in indeterminate (intermediate) state, skin i.e image only appear when check box comes to indeterminate state. Skin is basically a background image which adjust it self according to the size of the check box.
Indeterminate (intermediate) state is the third state of the check box which is in-between checked and unchecked state, it can be created with the help of setTristate method.
In order to add skin to the indeterminate check box we have to change the style sheet code it, below is the style sheet code.
QCheckBox::indeterminate
{
border-image : url(image.png);
}
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 checkbox1 = QCheckBox('Geek ?', self) # setting geometry of check box checkbox1.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 40) # setting tri-state check box checkbox1.setTristate(True) # changing style sheet code of check box # adding skin to indeterminate check box checkbox1.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox::indeterminate" "{" "border-image : url(image.png);" "}") # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
