In this article we will see how we can get tooltip text of the scroll label, when know we can make scrollable label with the help of inheriting a scroll class and making label in it. Scroll Label is basically two widgets combined together scroll area act as a base widget and label act as a component of this class.
Steps for implementations –
1. Create a new class which inherits QScrollArea
2. Inside the class create vertical layout
3. Create a label and make it multi-line and add it to the layout
4. Create object of this class inside the main window class and setting text to it
5. Add tool tip to the object with the help ofsetToolTipmethod
6. Retrieve the tool tip text with the help oftoolTipmethod
7. Create another label to show the tool tip text
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import * import sys # class for scrollable label class ScrollLabel(QScrollArea): # constructor def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): QScrollArea.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs) # making widget resizable self.setWidgetResizable(True) # making qwidget object content = QWidget(self) self.setWidget(content) # vertical box layout lay = QVBoxLayout(content) # creating label self.label = QLabel(content) # making label multi-line self.label.setWordWrap(True) # adding label to the layout lay.addWidget(self.label) # the setText method def setText(self, text): # setting text to the label self.label.setText(text) # getting text method def text(self): # getting text of the label get_text = self.label.text() # return the text return get_text class 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): # text to show in label text = "There are so many options provided by Python to develop GUI " \ " There are so many options provided by Python to develop GUI" \ " There are so many options provided by Python to develop GUI" # creating scroll label label = ScrollLabel(self) # setting text to the label label.setText(text) # setting geometry label.setGeometry(100, 100, 150, 80) # setting tool tip label.setToolTip("It is tool tip") # getting the tool tip tip = label.toolTip() # creating another label to show the tool tip result = QLabel("Tool tip : " + tip, self) # setting geometry to the label result.setGeometry(150, 200, 200, 30) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
