In this article, we will see how we can set floating property to 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.
In order to do this we will use setFloating method with the dock widget object. Syntax : dock.setFloating(True) Argument : It takes bool 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 dock widget
dock = QDockWidget("GeeksforGeeks", self )
# push button
push = QPushButton("Press", self )
# 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 )
# setting floating property
dock.setFloating( True )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
