In this article we will see how to set text to progress bar. When we create a progress bar only progress percentage text is visible but we can also set some text on it. Below is how normal progress bar vs progress bar with text looks like. 
In order to do this we will use setFormat method, although it is used to set the format i.e percentage indicator but if we pass normal text to it it will display it in progress bar.
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 progress bar bar = QProgressBar(self) # setting geometry to progress bar bar.setGeometry(200, 150, 200, 30) # set value to progress bar bar.setValue(70) # setting text bar.setFormat('This is progress bar') # setting alignment to centre bar.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
