In this article we will see how to add label to a status bar. We can set text to status bar by using showMessage method.
Label and StatusBar ?
A label is a graphical control element which displays text on a form. It is usually a static control; having no interactivity. A label is generally used to identify a nearby text box or other widget. A status bar is a horizontal bar, usually at the bottom of the screen or window, showing information about a document being edited or a program running.
In order to do this we will do following steps :
1. Create a label
2. Add text to label
3. Create object of status bar
4. Add label 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") # setting border and padding with different sizes self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;") # creating a label widget self.label_1 = QLabel("Label 1") # setting up the border self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :2px solid blue;") # adding label to status bar self.statusBar().addPermanentWidget(self.label_1) # 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()) |
