In this article we will see how we can access the tool tip of the combo box, tool tip is basically a tip occur when mouse hover over the combo box widget. In order to set the tool tip to the combo box we use setToolTip
method.
Note : Tool tip get only visible when mouse hover over the combo box not on the drop down view
In order to access the tool tip we use toolTip
method
Syntax : combo_box.setToolTip()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns string
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 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 ):
# creating a combo box widget
self .combo_box = QComboBox( self )
# setting geometry of combo box
self .combo_box.setGeometry( 200 , 150 , 150 , 30 )
# geek list
geek_list = [ "Sayian" , "Super Sayian" ]
# making it editable
self .combo_box.setEditable( True )
# adding list of items to combo box
self .combo_box.addItems(geek_list)
# tool tip
tip = "Sayian Tip"
# setting tool tip to the combo box
self .combo_box.setToolTip(tip)
# getting the tool tip
get_tip = self .combo_box.toolTip()
# creating label to show the tool tip
label = QLabel( "Tool tip : " + get_tip, self )
# setting geometry of the label
label.setGeometry( 200 , 100 , 200 , 30 )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
