PyQt5 QSpinBox – How to get the elided text through font
In this article we will see how we can get the elided text of the spin box. If the string text is wider than width, an elided version of the string would be a string with “…” in it. Otherwise, original string will be displayed.
There are three mode parameters to get the elided text. The mode parameter specifies whether the text is elided on the left (e.g., “…tech”), in the middle (e.g., “Tr…ch”), or on the right (e.g., “Trol…”).
In order to do this we use elidedText
method with the spin box’s QFontMetrics object.
Syntax : font_metrics.elidedText(text, Qt.ElideRight, 80)
Argument : It takes 3 argument, first is the spin box text, second is the elide mode and third is the width in pixel.
Return : It returns None
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 spin box self .spin = QSpinBox( self ) # setting geometry to spin box self .spin.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 250 , 40 ) # setting range to the spin box self .spin.setRange( 0 , 999999 ) # setting prefix to spin self .spin.setPrefix( "PREFIX " ) # setting suffix to spin self .spin.setSuffix( " SUFFIX" ) # creating a label label = QLabel( self ) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap( True ) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry( 100 , 200 , 300 , 60 ) # getting font metrics f_metrics = self .spin.fontMetrics() # text text = self .spin.text() # getting elided text elided_text = f_metrics.elidedText(text, Qt.ElideRight, 80 ) # setting text to the label label.setText( "Elided Text : " + str (elided_text)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
