In this article, we will see how to set message to status bar of window. A status bar is a graphical control element which poses an information area typically found at the window’s bottom. It can be divided into sections to group information. Its job is primarily to display information about the current state of its window.
In order to do this we will use showMessage() method.
Syntax : self.statusBar().showMessage(message)
Argument : It takes string as argument.
Action performed : It sets the message to status bar.
Code :
from PyQt5.QtCore import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * import sys class 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") # 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 :5px solid blue;") # resizing label self.label_1.resize(80, 100) # show all the widgets self.show() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
