PyQt5 QCommandLinkButton – Assigning Cursor

In this article we will see how we can set i.e assign cursor to the QCommandLinkButton. Assigning cursor means the mouse cursor will assume the new shape when it’s over the command link button. Cursor shape is basically cursor icons these are used to classify the actions.

In order to do this we use setCursor method with the command link button object

Syntax : button.setCursor(cursor)

Argument : It takes QCursor object as argument

Return : It returns None

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, 500, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a command link button
        cl_button = QCommandLinkButton("Press", self)

        # setting geometry
        cl_button.setGeometry(250, 100, 200, 50)

        # cursor
        cursor = Qt.OpenHandCursor

        # setting cursor
        cl_button.setCursor(cursor)




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

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

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

Output :
