PyQt5 – How to set background image of CheckBox indicator when mouse hover
In this article we will see how we can set background image to the indicator of check box when mouse hover over it. By default there is no background image associated with it. This background image will only appear when mouse hover over it.
In order to add background image to the indicator check box we have to change the style sheet code, below is the style sheet code to do this.
QCheckBox::indicator:hover
{
background-image : url(image.png);
}
Below is the implementation.
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom 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 checkbox1 = QCheckBox('Geek ?', self) # setting geometry of check box checkbox1.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 40) # changing style sheet code of check box # adding background image to indicator when mouse hover over it checkbox1.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox::indicator:hover" "{" "background-image : url(image.png);" "}") # create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window() # start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
