PyQt5 – setChecked() method for Check Box

setChecked method is used to change the state of check box. By default it is un-checked after clicking on the check box widget its states get changed into checked, but with the help of setChecked method we can do it directly without clicking it.

Syntax : checkbox.setChecked(True)

Argument : It takes bool as argument.

Action performed : It will change the state of check box.

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
        checkbox = QCheckBox('Check Box', self)

        # setting geometry of check box
        checkbox.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 30)

        # setting check box state to checked
        checkbox.setChecked(True)


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

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

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