PyQt5 – Set tool tip duration to Status bar

In this article we will see how to set tool tip duration. We can tool tip using setToolTip method with the status bar object but by default, tool tip will not disappear automatically after some time. We can set this disappearing time by using setToolTipDuration method with status bar object.

Syntax : self.statusBar().setToolTipDuration(ms) Argument : It take integer as argument which represent milliseconds Action performed : It set time duration to tool tip of status bar.

Code : 

Python3




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")
 
        # setting  border
        self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;")
 
        # setting tool tip for status bar
        self.statusBar().setToolTip("Hello ! from status bar")
 
        # setting tool tip duration
        self.statusBar().setToolTipDuration(500)
 
        # 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 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
 
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())


Output : This tool tip will disappear after 500 milliseconds i.e 5 seconds
