In this article we will see how we can get the drop indicator position property of the QListWidget. QListWidget is a convenience class that provides a list view with a classic item-based interface for adding and removing items. QListWidget uses an internal model to manage each QListWidgetItem in the list. This property holds the indicator position which is shown when drag and drop is enabled and when we drop the item at a place an indicator appears it can be turned off any time. It can be set with the help of setDropIndicatorShown method. Position can be on item, below item or above the item it depend upon the interface.
In order to do this we will use dropIndicatorPosition method with the list widget object.
Syntax : list_widget.dropIndicatorPosition()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns Indicator Position object but when printed it shows the associated value with it
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, 500, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a QListWidget list_widget = QListWidget(self) # setting geometry to it list_widget.setGeometry(50, 70, 150, 60) # list widget items item1 = QListWidgetItem("A") item2 = QListWidgetItem("B") item3 = QListWidgetItem("C") # adding items to the list widget list_widget.addItem(item1) list_widget.addItem(item2) list_widget.addItem(item3) # setting drag drop mode list_widget.setDragDropMode(QAbstractItemView.DragDrop) # making drop indicator enabled list_widget.setDropIndicatorShown(True) # creating a label label = QLabel("neveropen", self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(230, 80, 280, 80) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # getting drop indicator position property value = list_widget.dropIndicatorPosition() # setting text to the label label.setText("Drop Indicator Position : " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
