In this article we will see how we can get widget 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). We can add widget to the dock widget with the help of setWidget method, widget can any widget or even a single widget that contains many small child widgets. Along with dock widget the widget set to it also moves with it. By default no widget is set to the dock.
In order to do this we will use widget method with the dock widget object. Syntax : dock.widget() Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns QWidget
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 widget to the dock
dock.setWidget(push)
# setting geometry to the dock widget
dock.setGeometry( 100 , 0 , 200 , 30 )
# 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 )
# getting widget of the dock
value = dock.widget()
# setting text to the label
label.setText("Widget : " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
