In this article we will see how we can select all the text of the spin box, selecting text doesn’t mean printing or getting just selecting it. When we select text using mouse selected text get highlighted and with the help of right click of mouse button we can see option of copying and other option. Below is how selected text and when right click is pressed looks like.
In order to select the text we use selectAll
method.
Syntax : spin_box.selectAll()
Argument : It takes no argument
Action performed : Select the text of the spin box
Note : It selects all the text in the spin box except the prefix and suffix.
Implementation steps :
1. Create a spin box
2. Add suffix and prefix (optional)
3. Set range of the spin box (to increase the values)
4. Create a label to show info about the push button
4. Create a push button and add action to it
5. Inside the action select the text of spin box
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 prefix to spin
self .spin.setPrefix( "Prefix " )
# setting suffix to spin
self .spin.setSuffix( " Suffix" )
# setting range to spin
self .spin.setRange( 0 , 99999 )
# creating label
self .label = QLabel( self )
# setting geometry
self .label.setGeometry( 100 , 200 , 300 , 40 )
# setting text to the label
self .label.setText( "When push button get pressed value get selected" )
# creating push button
button = QPushButton( "Press" , self )
# adding action to the push button
button.clicked.connect( self .push_method)
# method called by push button
def push_method( self ):
# selecting all the text in spin box
self .spin.selectAll()
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
