PyQt5 QSpinBox – Checking if the arrow buttons are removed or not

In this article we will see how we can check if the spin box arrow buttons are removed or not, basically there are two buttons in the spin box one for incrementing the value and second for decrementing the value. In order to remove the buttons we use setButtonSymbols method. In order to check we will use buttonSymbols method.

Syntax : spin_box.buttonSymbols() 

Argument : It takes no argument 

Return : It returns QAbstractSpinBox object but its corresponding value is 2 if buttons are removed

Below is the implementation 

Python3

# 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, 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, 150, 40)

        # removing the buttons
        self.spin.setButtonSymbols(QAbstractSpinBox.NoButtons)

        # creating label
        label = QLabel(self)

        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(100, 160, 200, 30)

        # getting the button symbol
        symbol = self.spin.buttonSymbols()

        # checking if arrow button is removed
        if symbol == 2:
            text ="No Arrow buttons"

        else:
            text =" Arrow buttons"

        # setting text to the label
        label.setText(text)

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

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

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

Output :
