In this article we will see how we can set background image to the combo box when it is editable and it gets pressed. By default combo box has no image although we can set image to it. Background image will appear only when combobox is in editable state and combo box get pressed. Normal combo box can be made editable with the help of setEditable method.
In order to do this we have to change the style sheet associated with the combo box, below is the style sheet code 
 

QComboBox::editable:pressed
{
background-image : url(image.png);
border : 2px solid black;
}

Note : Combo box and text view is different things text views is the component of combobox
Below is the implementation – 
 

Python3




# 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 check-able combo box object
        self.combo_box = QComboBox(self)
 
        # making combo box editable
        self.combo_box.setEditable(True)
 
        # setting geometry of combo box
        self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 200, 80)
 
        # geek list
        geek_list = ["Sayian", "Super Sayian", "Super Sayian 2", "Super Sayian B"]
 
        # adding list of items to combo box
        self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list)
 
        # setting style sheet of the combo box
        # adding background image to the combo box it is in editable state
        # and when combo box get pressed
        self.combo_box.setStyleSheet("QComboBox::editable:pressed"
                                     "{"
                                     "background-image : url(logo.png);"
                                     "border : 2px solid black;"
                                     "}")
 
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
 
window.show()
 
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())


Output :
