PyQt5 QDoubleSpinBox – Making it Non Editable

In this article we will see how we can make the QDoubleSpinBox non editable. By default when we create a double spin box it is editable i.e its value can be changed by user any time, although by making it non editable its value can’t be changed, user can only view the value.

In order to do this we will use setReadOnly method with the double spin box object.

Syntax : dd_spin.setReadOnly(True)

Argument : It takes bool as argument

Return : It returns None

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries

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 double spin box
        d_spin = QDoubleSpinBox(self)

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

        # setting decimal precision
        d_spin.setDecimals(4)

        # step type
        step_type = QAbstractSpinBox.AdaptiveDecimalStepType

        # adaptive step type
        d_spin.setStepType(step_type)

        # making it non editable
        d_spin.setReadOnly(True)

        # 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)




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

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

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