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 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
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 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
