In this article we will see how we can set skin to check box when it is already in intermediate (indeterminate) state and when it get pressed. By default there is no skin associated to the check box, skin is basically background image that can adjust it self according to the size of check box.
Intermediate or indeterminate state is the third state of the check box which can be added with the help of setTristate
method.
In order to do add skin to the intermediate check box when it get pressed we have to edit the style sheet code, below is the style sheet code.
QCheckBox::indeterminate:pressed { border-image : url(image.png); }
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 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 the check-box
checkbox1 = QCheckBox( 'Geek ?' , self )
# setting geometry of check box
checkbox1.setGeometry( 200 , 150 , 100 , 40 )
# setting tri-state check box
checkbox1.setTristate( True )
# changing style sheet code of check box
# adding skin to indeterminate check box when it get pressed
checkbox1.setStyleSheet( "QCheckBox::indeterminate:pressed"
"{"
"border-image : url(image.png);"
"}" )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
