In this article we will see how we can get tooltip text of the scroll label, when know we can make scrollable label with the help of inheriting a scroll class and making label in it. Scroll Label is basically two widgets combined together scroll area act as a base widget and label act as a component of this class.
Steps for implementations –
1. Create a new class which inherits QScrollArea
2. Inside the class create vertical layout
3. Create a label and make it multi-line and add it to the layout
4. Create object of this class inside the main window class and setting text to it
5. Add tool tip to the object with the help ofsetToolTip
method
6. Retrieve the tool tip text with the help oftoolTip
method
7. Create another label to show the tool tip text
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 for scrollable label class ScrollLabel(QScrollArea):
# constructor
def __init__( self , * args, * * kwargs):
QScrollArea.__init__( self , * args, * * kwargs)
# making widget resizable
self .setWidgetResizable( True )
# making qwidget object
content = QWidget( self )
self .setWidget(content)
# vertical box layout
lay = QVBoxLayout(content)
# creating label
self .label = QLabel(content)
# making label multi-line
self .label.setWordWrap( True )
# adding label to the layout
lay.addWidget( self .label)
# the setText method
def setText( self , text):
# setting text to the label
self .label.setText(text)
# getting text method
def text( self ):
# getting text of the label
get_text = self .label.text()
# return the text
return get_text
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 ):
# text to show in label
text = "There are so many options provided by Python to develop GUI " \
" There are so many options provided by Python to develop GUI" \
" There are so many options provided by Python to develop GUI"
# creating scroll label
label = ScrollLabel( self )
# setting text to the label
label.setText(text)
# setting geometry
label.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 150 , 80 )
# setting tool tip
label.setToolTip( "It is tool tip" )
# getting the tool tip
tip = label.toolTip()
# creating another label to show the tool tip
result = QLabel( "Tool tip : " + tip, self )
# setting geometry to the label
result.setGeometry( 150 , 200 , 200 , 30 )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
