PyQt5 QDockWidget – Getting Frame Geometry

In this article, we will see how we can get the frame geometry of the QDockWidget. QDockWidget provides the concept of dock widgets, also know as tool palettes or utility windows. Dock windows are secondary windows placed in the dock widget area around the central widget in a QMainWindow(original window). This property holds the geometry of the widget relative to its parent including any window frame.
By default, this property contains a value that depends on the user’s platform and screen geometry.

In order to do this we will use frameGeometry method with the dock widget object.

Syntax : dock.frameGeometry()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns QRect object

Below is the implementation

Python3




# 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, 500, 400)
  
        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()
  
        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()
  
    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):
  
        # creating dock widget
        dock = QDockWidget(self)
  
        # setting title to the dock widget
        dock.setWindowTitle("GfG Dock")
  
  
        # push button
        push = QPushButton("Press", self)
  
        # setting widget to the dock
        dock.setWidget(push)
  
        # creating a label
        label = QLabel("neveropen", self)
  
        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 80)
  
        # making label multi line
        label.setWordWrap(True)
  
        # setting geometry tot he dock widget
        dock.setGeometry(100, 0, 200, 30)
  
        # getting frame geometry of dock
        value = dock.frameGeometry()
  
        # setting text to the label
        label.setText("Frame Geometry : " + str(value))
  
  
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
  
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
  
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
