PyQt5 QSpinBox – Setting Style Strategy

In this article we will see how we can set the style strategy to the spin box’s text. The style strategy tells the font matching algorithm what type of fonts should be used to find an appropriate default family. There are many strategy offered by the spin box for example PreferDefault, PreferBitmap, NoAntialias etc.

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

Syntax : font.setStyleStrategy(QFont.PreferBitmap)

Argument : It takes strategy as argument

Return : It returns None

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries

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 style strategy
        font.setStyleStrategy(QFont.PreferBitmap)

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



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

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

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

Output :
