PyQt5 QColorDialog – Setting Color Dialog Options

In this article we will see how we can set options of the QColorDialog widget. There are basically three dialog options available for the QColorDialog widget, below are the options
1. ShowAlphaChannel : Allow the user to select the alpha component of a color
2. NoButtons : Don’t display OK and Cancel buttons
3. DontUseNativeDialog : Use Qt’s standard color dialog instead of the operating system native color dialog

In order to do this we use setOption method with the QColorDialog object

Syntax : dialog.setOption(QColorDialog.ShowAlphaChannel)

Argument : It takes option object as argument

Return : It returns None

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries

import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()


    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a QColorDialog object
        dialog = QColorDialog(self)

        # setting option
        dialog.setOption(QColorDialog.ShowAlphaChannel)

        # executing the dialog
        dialog.exec_()


        # creating label to display the color
        label = QLabel("GfG", self)

        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(100, 100, 200, 60)

        # making label multi line
        label.setWordWrap(True)

        # setting stylesheet of the label
        label.setStyleSheet("QLabel"
                            "{"
                            "border : 5px solid black;"
                            "}")

        color = Qt.green

        # setting graphic effect to the label
        graphic = QGraphicsColorizeEffect(self)

        # setting color to the graphic
        graphic.setColor(color)

        # setting graphic to the label
        label.setGraphicsEffect(graphic)



# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
