In this article we will see how we can get the elided text of the spin box. If the string text is wider than width, an elided version of the string would be a string with “…” in it. Otherwise, original string will be displayed.
There are three mode parameters to get the elided text. The mode parameter specifies whether the text is elided on the left (e.g., “…tech”), in the middle (e.g., “Tr…ch”), or on the right (e.g., “Trol…”).
In order to do this we use elidedText
method with the spin box’s QFontMetrics object.
Syntax : font_metrics.elidedText(text, Qt.ElideRight, 80)
Argument : It takes 3 argument, first is the spin box text, second is the elide mode and third is the width in pixel.
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 , 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" )
# creating a label
label = QLabel( self )
# making label multi line
label.setWordWrap( True )
# setting geometry to the label
label.setGeometry( 100 , 200 , 300 , 60 )
# getting font metrics
f_metrics = self .spin.fontMetrics()
# text
text = self .spin.text()
# getting elided text
elided_text = f_metrics.elidedText(text, Qt.ElideRight, 80 )
# setting text to the label
label.setText( "Elided Text : " + str (elided_text))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
