In this article we will see how we can get the selection behavior 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. Selection behavior describes how user can select the item, it can be row or it can be a column or it can be single item. It can be set with the help of setSelectionBehavior method.
In order to do this we will use selectionBehavior method with the list widget object. Syntax : list_widget.selectionBehavior() Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns behaviour object
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("PyQt5 Geeks for Geeks") 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 selection behaviour list_widget.setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView.SelectItems) # setting word wrap property list_widget.setWordWrap(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 selection behaviour value = list_widget.selectionBehavior() # setting text to the label label.setText("Selection Behaviour : " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
