In this article we will see how to set the background color to the non editable combo box which is currently in the OFF state and when mouse hover over it. OFF state of the combo box is when the list menu is not opened. This background color will only appear if the combo box is non editable and in OFF state and mouse hover over combo box. In order to do so we have to change the style sheet code, below is the style sheet code –
QComboBox::!editable:!on:hover { background-color : lightgreen; }
Below is the implementation
Python3
# 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 a combo box widget
self .combo_box = QComboBox( self )
# setting geometry of combo box
self .combo_box.setGeometry( 200 , 150 , 150 , 30 )
# geek list
geek_list = ["Sayian", " Super Sayian", " Super Sayian 2 ", " Super Sayian B"]
# adding list of items to combo box
self .combo_box.addItems(geek_list)
# adding background color to the combo box when it is non editable
# and when it is in OFF state and mouse hover over it
self .combo_box.setStyleSheet("QComboBox::! editable:! on:hover"
"{"
"background - color: lightgreen;"
"}")
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
