In this article we will see how to set border to a check box. By default there is no border available to the check box like it is present in push button although the indicator of check box has its own border.
Below is how normal check box looks like vs the bordered check box looks like.
In order to add border to the whole check box we have to change the CSS style sheet of it, below is the style sheet code.
QCheckBox { border : 2px solid black; }
This style sheet is used with setStyleSheet
method, 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 the check-box
checkbox = QCheckBox( 'Geek ?' , self )
# setting geometry of check box
checkbox.setGeometry( 200 , 150 , 100 , 30 )
# adding border to checkbox
checkbox.setStyleSheet( "QCheckBox"
"{"
"border : 2px solid black;"
"}" )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
