In this article we will see how we can check if floating property is enabled of the QDockWidget. QDockWidget provides the concept of dock widgets, also known as tool palettes or utility windows. Dock windows are secondary windows placed in the dock widget area around the central widget in a QMainWindow(original window). This property holds whether the dock widget is floating. A floating dock widget is presented to the user as an independent window “on top” of its parent QMainWindow, instead of being docked in the QMainWindow, it can be set with the help of setFloating method.
In order to do this we will use isFloating method with the dock widget object. Syntax : dock.isFloating() Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns bool
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 dock widget
dock = QDockWidget("GeeksforGeeks", self )
# push button
push = QPushButton("Press", self )
# setting floating property
dock.setFloating( False )
# setting widget to the dock
dock.setWidget(push)
# creating a label
label = QLabel("GeeksforGeeks", self )
# setting geometry to the label
label.setGeometry( 100 , 200 , 300 , 80 )
# making label multi line
label.setWordWrap( True )
# setting geometry tot he dock widget
dock.setGeometry( 100 , 0 , 200 , 30 )
# checking floating property
value = dock.isFloating()
# setting text to the label
label.setText("Is Floating : " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
