PyQt5 QCommandLinkButton – Setting Border for Hover states
In this article we will see how we can set border to the QCommandLinkButton according to the hover states. Command link button is a special type of button it has qualities of both push-button and the radio button. By default there is no extra border to the command link button although when it gets pressed we are able to see the border, we can set custom border to it as well. There are basically two hover states one is hovering i.e when mouse is on the command link button and second is anti hover state i.e when cursor is not on the command link button.
In order to do this we will set style sheet code to it for that we use setStyleSheet
method with the command link button object, below is the stylesheet code
QCommandLinkButton::hover { border : 4px solid green; } QCommandLinkButton::!hover { border : 2px solid red; }
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 , 500 , 400 ) # calling method self .UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self .show() # method for components def UiComponents( self ): # creating a command link button cl_button = QCommandLinkButton( "Press" , self ) cl_button.setCheckable( True ) # setting geometry cl_button.setGeometry( 250 , 100 , 200 , 50 ) # setting style sheet # setting border to it for hover and anti hover state cl_button.setStyleSheet( "QCommandLinkButton::hover" "{" "border : 4px solid green;" "}" "QCommandLinkButton::! hover" "{" "border : 2px solid red;" "}" ) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
