We know that we can resize the window of PyQt5 application but when we resize the window, status bar also get resized according to the size of window. While shrinking the window size we can set minimum size so that status bar can’t be shrank any more. In this article, we will see how to do this, in order to do this we will use setMinimumSize() method.
Syntax : self.statusBar().setMinimumSize(width, height)
Argument : It takes two integer as argument i.e width and height.
Action performed : It sets minimum size of status bar.
Code :
from PyQt5.QtCore import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * import sys
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__( self ):
super ().__init__()
# set the title
self .setWindowTitle( "Python" )
# setting the geometry of window
self .setGeometry( 60 , 60 , 600 , 400 )
# setting status bar message
self .statusBar().showMessage( "This is status bar" )
# setting border
self .statusBar().setStyleSheet( "border :3px solid black;" )
# setting minimum size of status bar
self .statusBar().setMinimumSize( 300 , 40 )
# creating a label widget
self .label_1 = QLabel( "status bar" , self )
# moving position
self .label_1.move( 100 , 100 )
# setting up the border
self .label_1.setStyleSheet( "border :1px solid blue;" )
# resizing label
self .label_1.adjustSize()
# show all the widgets
self .show()
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
