In this article we will see how we can unset the layout direction of the QDockWidget. QDockWidget provides the concept of dock widgets, also know 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). Layout specifies how the children get arranged, by setting layout direction we can specify the order of the arrangement, it can be set with the help of setLayoutDirection method. un-setting means that layout direction will revert back to the default.
In order to do this we will use unsetLayoutDirection method with the dock widget object.
Syntax : dock.unsetLayoutDirection()
Argument : It takes no 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( self )
# setting title to the dock widget
dock.setWindowTitle(" GfG ")
# push button
push = QPushButton("Press", self )
# setting widget to the dock
dock.setWidget(push)
# setting layout direction
dock.setLayoutDirection(Qt.RightToLeft)
# unsetting layout direction
dock.unsetLayoutDirection()
# creating a label
label = QLabel("GfG", 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 )
# getting layout direction of dock
value = dock.layoutDirection()
# setting text to the label
label.setText("Layout Direction : " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
