In this article we will see how we can access the tool tip of 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 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 the tool tip of the view object and store it in a variable
6. Create a label to show the tool tip
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) # accessing tool tip get_tip = view.toolTip()
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) # 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 get_tip = view.toolTip() # creating label to show the tool tip duration label = QLabel("Tool Tip : " + get_tip, self) # setting geometry of the label label.setGeometry(200, 100, 300, 30) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
