PyQt5 QCommandLinkButton – Setting Auto Exclusive Property

In this article we will see how we can set the auto exclusive property of the QCommandLinkButton. If auto-exclusivity is enabled, checkable command link buttons that belong to the same parent widget behave as if they were part of the same exclusive button group. In an exclusive command link button group, only one button can be checked at any time; checking another button automatically unchecks the previously checked one. The property has no effect on buttons that belong to a button group.

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

Syntax : button.setAutoExclusive(True)

Argument : It takes bool as argument

Return : It return 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(200, 100, 150, 60)

        # making button checkable
        cl_button.setCheckable(True)

        # making it auto exclusive
        cl_button.setAutoExclusive(True)



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

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

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

Output :
