PyQt5 QDockWidget – Setting Layout
In this article we will see how we can set the layout to the QDockWidget. QDockWidget provides the concept of dock widgets, also known as tool palettes or utility windows. Dock windows are secondary windows placed in the dock widget area around the central widget in a QMainWindow(original window). Layout specifies how the internal component will be arranged.
In order to do this we will use setLayout method with the dock widget object.
Syntax : dock.setLayout(layout)
Argument : It takes QLayout object as argument
Return : It returns None
Below is the implementation
Python3
# 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 dock widget dock = QDockWidget( self ) # setting title to the dock widget dock.setWindowTitle("GfG Dock") # push button push = QPushButton("Press", self ) # setting widget to the dock dock.setWidget(push) # creating a label label = QLabel("w3wiki", self ) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry( 100 , 200 , 300 , 80 ) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap( True ) # setting geometry tot he dock widget dock.setGeometry( 100 , 0 , 200 , 30 ) # creating a vertical layout layout = QVBoxLayout( self ) # setting layout to the dock dock.setLayout(layout) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
