In this article we will see how we can center align the text of combo box and combo box should remain non-editable. By default the combo box text is left align and combo box don’t have any alignment method of its own.

In order to center align the text we have to do the following – 1. Create a combo box 2. Make line edit object from combo box 3. Center align the line edit 4. Make the line edit on editable

Note : Because of the line edit object combo box will become editable therefore there is a need to make it non editable Syntax :

# getting the line edit of combo box
line_edit = self.combo_box.lineEdit()

# setting line edit alignment to the center
line_edit.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)

# setting line edit to read only
line_edit.setReadOnly(True)

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 combo box widget
        self.combo_box = QComboBox(self)
 
        # setting geometry of combo box
        self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 150, 30)
 
        # geek list
        geek_list = ["Sayian", "Super Sayian", "Super Sayian 2", "Super Sayian B"]
 
        # making it editable
        self.combo_box.setEditable(True)
 
        # adding list of items to combo box
        self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list)
 
        # getting the line edit of combo box
        line_edit = self.combo_box.lineEdit()
 
        # setting line edit alignment to the center
        line_edit.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
 
        # setting line edit to read only
        line_edit.setReadOnly(True)
 
 
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
 
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
