PyQt5 – Set skin to non-editable combobox when pressed

In this article we will see how we can set skin to the non-editable combo box when it get pressed. Skin is basically the background image but skin adjust its size according to the size of combo box. Non-editable combo box is in which user can’t insert data, setEditable method is used to make combo box editable. Skin will only appear the combo box is non-editable and combo box get pressed.

In order to do this we have to change the style sheet code of the combo box, below is the style sheet code

QComboBox::!editable: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 a check-able combo box object
        self.combo_box = QComboBox(self)

        # setting geometry of combo box
        self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 200, 80)

        # making combo box editable
        # self.combo_box.setEditable(True)

        # 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)

        # setting style sheet of combo box
        # adding skin to the combo box when it is non-editable
        # and when it get pressed
        self.combo_box.setStyleSheet("QComboBox::! editable:pressed"
                                     "{"
                                     "border-image : url(image.png);"
                                     "border : 1px solid black;"
                                     "}")



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

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

window.show()

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

Output :
