In this article we will see how we can set the movement property 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. This property determines how the user can move the items in the view. Static means that the items can’t be moved the user. Free means that the user can drag and drop the items to any position in the view. Snap means that the user can drag and drop the items, but only to the positions in a notional grid signified by the gridSize property.
In order to do this we will use setMovement method with the list widget object. Syntax : list_widget.setMovement(movement) Argument : It takes movement object 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 layout mode
list_widget.setMovement(QListView.Free)
# 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 )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
