    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # set the title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python")

        # setting  the geometry of window
        self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400)

        # setting tool tip for status bar
        self.statusBar().setToolTip("Hello ! from status bar")

        # setting tool tip duration
        self.statusBar().setToolTipDuration(500)

        # accessing tool tip content
        content = self.statusBar().toolTip()

        # creating a label widget
        self.label_1 = QLabel("content = " + content, 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())
