PyQt5 – Get tooltip data of label | toolTip() method

PyQt5 offers the user to create tool tip using setToolTip() method. In this article, we will see how to access the content of tool tip. In order to do this we will use toolTip() method.

Syntax : label.toolTip()

Argument : It takes no argument.

Return : It returns string.

Code :




# importing the required libraries
  
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 geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)
        # creating a label widget
        self.label_1 = QLabel("Label", self)
  
        # moving position
        self.label_1.move(0, 0)
  
        # setting up the border
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;")
  
        # setting label tool tip
        self.label_1.setToolTip("this is tool tip")
  
        # setting time duration
        self.label_1.setToolTipDuration(500)
  
        # getting tool tip content
        data = self.label_1.toolTip()
  
        # creating a label widget
        self.label_2 = QLabel("label tool tip data =" +
                                            data, self)
  
        # moving position
        self.label_2.move(0, 50)
  
        # adjust size
        self.label_2.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())
