In this article we will see how we can set the tool tip duration to the drop down part of the combo box. When we set tool tip to the combo box it only shows for the line edit part, tool tip is not visible for the drop down part i.e its view part.
In order set tool tip duration to the view part, do the following –
1. Create Combo box
2. Add items to the combo box
3. Get the view object of the combo box
4. Add tool tip to the view object
5. set tool tip duration to the view object
Syntax :
# getting view part of combo box view = self.combo_box.view() # setting tool tip to view object of the combo box view.setToolTip(tip) # setting tool tip duration to view object view.setToolTipDuration(2000)
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 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" ]
# making it editable
self .combo_box.setEditable( True )
# adding list of items to combo box
self .combo_box.addItems(geek_list)
# tool tip
tip = "Drop down tool tip"
# getting view part of combo box
view = self .combo_box.view()
# setting tool tip to view object of the combo box
view.setToolTip(tip)
# setting tool tip duration to view object
view.setToolTipDuration( 2000 )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
