PyQt5 QSpinBox – Setting display integer base

In this article we will see how we can set display integer base to the spin box, a base or radix is the number of different digits or combinations of digits and letters that a system of counting uses to represent numbers. The default integer base is 10 although we can change it.

Note : Only the base of display integer base will change value base will remain 10.

In order to do this we will use spin_box.setDisplayIntegerBase method.

Syntax : spin_box.setDisplayIntegerBase(n)

Argument : It takes integer as argument

Return : None

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries

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, 100, 40)

        # setting display integer base
        self.spin.setDisplayIntegerBase(2)

        # adding action to the spin box
        self.spin.valueChanged.connect(self.show_result)

        # creating label show result
        self.label = QLabel(self)

        # setting geometry
        self.label.setGeometry(100, 200, 200, 40)

    # method called by spin box
    def show_result(self):

        # getting current value
        value = self.spin.value()

        # setting value of spin box to the label
        self.label.setText("Value : " + str(value))


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

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

window.show()

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

Output :
