Label and StatusBar ?
A label is a graphical control element which displays text on a form. It is usually a static control; having no interactivity. A label is generally used to identify a nearby text box or other widget. A status bar is a horizontal bar, usually at the bottom of the screen or window, showing information about a document being edited or a program running.
In order to do this we will do following steps :
1. Create a label
2. Add text to label
3. Create object of status bar
4. Add label to status bar

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 and padding with different sizes self .statusBar().setStyleSheet( "border :3px solid black;" ) # creating a label widget self .label_1 = QLabel( "Label 1" ) # setting up the border self .label_1.setStyleSheet( "border :2px solid blue;" ) # adding label to status bar self .statusBar().addPermanentWidget( self .label_1) # 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 ()) |
