In this article we will see how we can get the selection rectangle visible 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. If this property is true then the selection rectangle is visible; otherwise it will be hidden. It can be set with the help of setSelectionRectVisible method. Note: The selection rectangle will only be visible if the selection mode is in a mode where more than one item can be selected; i.e., it will not draw a selection rectangle if the selection mode is QAbstractItemView.SingleSelection.
In order to do this we will use isSelectionRectVisible method with the list widget object. Syntax : list_widget.isSelectionRectVisible() Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns bool
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 selection mode property list_widget.setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView.MultiSelection) # making selection rectangle visible list_widget.setSelectionRectVisible(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) # checking if selection rectangle is visible value = list_widget.isSelectionRectVisible() # setting text to the label label.setText("Selection Rect Visible : " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
