PyQt5 QScrollBar – Slider Pressed Signal

In this article we will see how we can get the slider pressed signal of QScrollBar. QScrollBar is a control that enables the user to access parts of a document that is larger than the widget used to display it. Slider is the scroll-able object inside the bar. This signal is emitted when the user presses the slider with the mouse, or programmatically when setSliderDown(True) is called.

In order to do this we will use sliderPressed method with the scroll bar object.
Syntax : scroll.sliderPressed.connect(method)
Argument : It takes method as argument
Return : It returns None 

Below is the implementation 

Python3

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets 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):

        scroll = QScrollBar(self)

        # setting geometry of the scroll bar
        scroll.setGeometry(100, 50, 30, 200)

        # making its background color to green
        scroll.setStyleSheet("background : lightgrey;")

        # creating a label
        label = QLabel("GeeksforGeeks", self)

        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(200, 100, 300, 80)

        # making label multi line
        label.setWordWrap(True)

        # getting slider pressed signal
        scroll.sliderPressed.connect(lambda: do_action())

        # method called when signal is emitted
        def do_action():

            # setting text to the label
            label.setText("Slider Pressed Signal Emitted")




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

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

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

Output :
