In this article we will see how we can get the text i.e content of current item selected in the combo box, in order to do this we will use the currentText method.
Syntax : combo_box.currentText()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return string
Steps for implementation – 1. Create a combo box 2. Add items to combo box 3. Create push button 4. Add action to the push button 5. Create label to show count 5. Inside the action get the content of current item selected in combo box with the help of currentText method and store it in variable 6. Show the content variable in label with the help of setText 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 a combo box widget
self .combo_box = QComboBox( self )
# setting geometry of combo box
self .combo_box.setGeometry( 200 , 150 , 120 , 30 )
# geek list
geek_list = ["Geek", "Geeky Geek", "Legend Geek", "Ultra Legend Geek"]
# adding list of items to combo box
self .combo_box.addItems(geek_list)
# creating push button
button = QPushButton("Show content ", self )
print ( self .combo_box.count())
# adding action to button
button.pressed.connect( self .find)
# creating label to
self .label = QLabel( self )
# setting geometry of the label
self .label.setGeometry( 200 , 200 , 200 , 30 )
def find( self ):
# finding the content of current item in combo box
content = self .combo_box.currentText()
# showing content on the screen through label
self .label.setText("Content : " + content)
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
