PyQt5 QSpinBox – Checking if text Strike Out or not

In this article we will see how we can check if the text of the spin box is strike out or not. Strike out/through is a typographical presentation of words with a horizontal line through their center, resulting in text like this. Contrary to censored or sanitized texts, the words remain readable. This presentation signifies one of two meanings. We can make the text of spin box strike out with the help of setStrikeOut method.

In order to do this we use strikeOut method with the QFont object of the spin box.

Syntax : font.strikeOut()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns bool

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui

import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

        # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):
        # creating spin box
        self.spin = QSpinBox(self)

        # setting geometry to spin box
        self.spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 250, 40)

        # setting range to the spin box
        self.spin.setRange(0, 999999)

        # setting prefix to spin
        self.spin.setPrefix("PREFIX ")

        # setting suffix to spin
        self.spin.setSuffix(" SUFFIX")

        # getting font of the spin box
        font = self.spin.font()

        # setting strike out
        font.setStrikeOut(True)

        # reassigning this font to the spin box
        self.spin.setFont(font)

        # creating a label
        label = QLabel(self)

        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 60)

        # checking if text is strike out
        check = font.strikeOut()

        # setting text to the label
        label.setText("Strike Out ? : " + str(check))


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

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

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