In this article we will see how we can get the selection mode property to 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. This property holds which selection mode the view operates in. This property controls whether the user can select one or many items and, in many-item selections, whether the selection must be a continuous range of items. It can be set with the help of setSelectionMode method.
In order to do this we will use selectionMode method with the list widget object. Syntax : list_widget.selectionMode() Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns selection mode object but when printed it shows the associated value with it
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 selection mode property
list_widget.setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView.MultiSelection)
# 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 selection mode property
value = list_widget.selectionMode()
# setting text to the label
label.setText("Selection Mode : " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
