In this article we will see how we can access the tool tip duration on the drop down part of the combo box. When we set tool tip to the combo box it only shows for the line edit part. Tool tip is not visible for the drop down part i.e its view part.
In order to access tool tip duration to the view part, do the following steps for implementation – 1. Create Combo box 2. Add items to the combo box 3. Get the view object of the combo box 4. Add tool tip to the view object 5. Get tool tip duration to the view object 6. Get the tool tip duration of the view object and store it in a variable 7. Create a label to show the duration
Syntax :
# getting view part of combo box view = self.combo_box.view() # setting tool tip to view object of the combo box view.setToolTip(tip) # setting tool tip duration to view object view.setToolTipDuration(2000) # accessing tool tip duration duration = view.toolTipDuration()
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sysclass 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) # tool tip tip = "Drop down tool tip" # getting view part of combo box view = self.combo_box.view() # setting tool tip to view object of the combo box view.setToolTip(tip) # setting tool tip duration to view object view.setToolTipDuration(2000) # getting the tool tip duration duration = view.toolTipDuration() # creating label to show the tool tip duration label = QLabel("Drop down tool tip duration : " + str(duration), self) # setting geometry of the label label.setGeometry(200, 100, 200, 30)# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
