In this article we will see how we can set background image to the view part of the combo box when mouse hover over it. View part of combo box is the drop-down menu in which all the items are shown. In order to add or retrieve view object to combo box we use setView
and view
method.
In order to do this we have to change the style sheet code associated with it, below is the style sheet code
QListView::hover { background-image : url(image.png); }
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 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 view part of combo box
# when mouse hover over it
print ( type ( self .combo_box.view()))
self .combo_box.setStyleSheet( "QListView::hover"
"{"
"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 :
When cursor hover over the list view
