PyQt5 QDoubleSpinBox – Getting Step Type Property

In this article we will see how we can get the step type property of the QDoubleSpinBox. This property holds the step type. The step type can be single step or adaptive decimal step. By default when we change the value it get change by whole number not by the decimal value although we can change this with the help of step type property, it can be set with the help of setStepType method.

In order to do this we will use stepType method with the QDateTimeEdit object.

Syntax : dd_spin.stepType()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns step type object but when printed it shows the associated value with it

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries

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 double spin box
        d_spin = QDoubleSpinBox(self)

        # setting geometry to the double spin box
        d_spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 150, 40)

        # step type
        step_type = QAbstractSpinBox.AdaptiveDecimalStepType

        # adaptive step type
        d_spin.setStepType(step_type)

        # 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 step type
        value = d_spin.stepType()

        # setting text to the label
        label.setText("Step Type : " + str(value))




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

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

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

Output :
