When window is resized status bar also get resized although we can set a fix size of status bar by using setFixedSize method with object of status bar. In this article we will see how we can only fix the length of either width or height i.e other side would be variable. In order to fix length of width we use setFixedWidth with object of status bar and to fix length of height we use setFixedHeight with object of status bar.
Syntax :
self.statusBar().setFixedHeight(height) self.statusBar().setFixedWidth(width)Argument : Both methods take integer as argument. Action performed : setFixedHeight fix the height of status bar. setFixedWidth fix the width of status bar.
Code :
Python3
from PyQt5.QtCore import *from PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *import sysclass Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # set the title self.setWindowTitle("Python") # setting the geometry of window self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) # setting status bar message self.statusBar().showMessage("This is status bar") # setting border and padding with different sizes self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;") # setting fixed width self.statusBar().setFixedHeight(100) # creating a label widget self.label_1 = QLabel("status bar", self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting up the border self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :1px solid blue;") # resizing label self.label_1.adjustSize() # show all the widgets self.show()# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
