In this article we will see how we can get the current item changed signal of the QListWidget. QListWidget is a convenience class that provides a list view with a classic item-based interface for adding and removing items. QListWidget uses an internal model to manage each QListWidgetItem in the list. Current item can be set from the list of item. Unless the selection mode is NoSelection, the item is also selected. It can be set with the help of setCurrentItem method. This signal is emitted when current item is changed.
In order to do this we will use currentItemChanged method with the list widget object. Syntax : list_widget.currentItemChanged.connect(method) Argument : It takes method 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 a QListWidget
list_widget = QListWidget( self )
# setting geometry to it
list_widget.setGeometry( 50 , 70 , 150 , 60 )
# list widget items
item1 = QListWidgetItem("A")
item2 = QListWidgetItem("B")
item3 = QListWidgetItem("C")
# adding items to the list widget
list_widget.addItem(item1)
list_widget.addItem(item2)
list_widget.addItem(item3)
# setting current item
list_widget.setCurrentItem(item2)
# creating a label
label = QLabel("GeeksforGeeks", self )
# setting geometry to the label
label.setGeometry( 230 , 80 , 280 , 80 )
# making label multi line
label.setWordWrap( True )
# getting item changed signal
list_widget.currentItemChanged.connect( lambda : label.setText("Item Changed Signal"))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
