I'm trying to do this with the check-box.
Sadly is made for C++ and any adaptation of the code for Python has the result this error: 'QWidget' object is not callable
What I wanna to do is to add a check-box on each row, this is my code:
pWidget = QWidget()
pCheckbox = QCheckBox()
pLayout = QVBoxLayout()
pLayout.addWidget(pCheckbox)
pLayout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
pLayout.setContentsMargins(0, 0 ,0, 0)
pWidget.setLayout(pLayout)
for char in accounts:
for columnNumber in range(numberColumns):
chkBoxItem = QTableWidgetItem()
chkBoxItem.setFlags(Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable | Qt.ItemIsEnabled)
chkBoxItem.setCheckState(Qt.Unchecked)
self.mainAccountTable.insertRow(currentRowCount)
self.mainAccountTable.setItem(currentRowCount, 0, pWidget(chkBoxItem))
self.mainAccountTable.setItem(currentRowCount, 1, QTableWidgetItem(data[1]))
If I put pLayout = Layout()
is saying that it isn't implemented in Python.
So, how I can I add that checkbox aligned in center without the text area near for each row? Thanks in advance for any tips.
Later EDIT:
moving the code inside the loop is working , but I can't control the checks:
for char in accounts:
for columnNumber in range(numberColumns):
pWidget = QWidget()
pCheckbox = QCheckBox()
pLayout = QVBoxLayout(pWidget)
pLayout.addWidget(pCheckbox)
pLayout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
pLayout.setContentsMargins(0, 0 ,0, 0)
pWidget.setLayout(pLayout)
#chkBoxItem = QTableWidgetItem()
#chkBoxItem.setFlags(Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable | Qt.ItemIsEnabled)
#chkBoxItem.setCheckState(Qt.Unchecked)
self.mainAccountTable.insertRow(currentRowCount)
self.mainAccountTable.setCellWidget(currentRowCount, 0, pWidget)
This is a screenshoot How can I know what I checked and build set list?
Here is an example from ekhumoro to find what is checked when it s being clicked :
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class Window(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, rows, columns):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self)
self.table = QtGui.QTableWidget(rows, columns, self)
for column in range(columns):
for row in range(rows):
item = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem('Text%d' % row)
if row % 2:
item.setFlags(QtCore.Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable |
QtCore.Qt.ItemIsEnabled)
item.setCheckState(QtCore.Qt.Unchecked)
self.table.setItem(row, column, item)
self.table.itemClicked.connect(self.handleItemClicked)
layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
layout.addWidget(self.table)
self._list = []
def handleItemClicked(self, item):
if item.checkState() == QtCore.Qt.Checked:
print('"%s" Checked' % item.text())
self._list.append(item.row())
print(self._list)
else:
print('"%s" Clicked' % item.text())
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window(6, 3)
window.resize(350, 300)
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
But you can also iterate on your rows and use .findChild(type(QtGui.QCheckBox())).isChecked()
on the proper column
such as :
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt
class Window(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, rows, columns):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self)
self.table = QtGui.QTableWidget(rows, columns, self)
for row in range(rows):
qwidget = QtGui.QWidget()
checkbox = QtGui.QCheckBox()
checkbox.setCheckState(QtCore.Qt.Unchecked)
qhboxlayout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout(qwidget)
qhboxlayout.addWidget(checkbox)
qhboxlayout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
qhboxlayout.setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0)
self.table.setCellWidget(row, 0, qwidget)
self.table.setItem(row, 1, QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(str(row)))
layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
self.button = QtGui.QPushButton()
self.button.setObjectName("loadButton")
layout.addWidget(self.table)
layout.addWidget(self.button)
self.button.clicked.connect(self.ButtonClicked)
def ButtonClicked(self):
checked_list = []
for i in range(self.table.rowCount()):
if self.table.cellWidget(i, 0).findChild(type(QtGui.QCheckBox())).isChecked():
checked_list.append(self.table.item(i, 1).text())
print checked_list
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window(3, 2)
window.resize(350, 300)
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
You could consider using the Qt Designer, so that you can:
- Get your desired layout visually with immediate feedback
- Get to see the actual code generated from it and spot what you were missing
After you get your desired window (i.e. the file with a .ui
extension), you can use the pyuic5
[1] utility, which will generate a Python file from the UI file. From the man page
pyuic5 - compile Qt5 user interfaces to Python code
Steps
Simple steps with example
Create and Save the UI
You should use the Qt Designer and save the .ui file.
Generate Python code from the UI file
If your .ui file is named mainwindow.ui
then you can use the command:
pyuic5 mainwindow.ui -o mainwindow.py
Update your Python code
Get your Python code to use the generated Python-based UI file.
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow
from mainwindow import Ui_MainWindow # <<--- important
# Set up the user interface from Designer.
win = QMainWindow()
gui = Ui_MainWindow()
gui.setupUi(win)
As you can see above, you need to import the class representing the UI from the Python module that was generated, in our case being the mainwindow.py
file from the command in the prev. step.
The class is automatically prefixed with Ui_
by the utility. You then instantiate a QMainWindow
and the generated class and use Qt's built-in method setupUi
for it to incorporate all the widgets, etc.
Important: Every time you update your window in Qt Designer, you'll need to repeat step #2. Considering the amount of time saved by using the Designer directly, this shouldn't be a problem.
Note: You can use the generated mainwindow.py
file to read the code and see how the desired layout was achieved. This should be useful if you really do not want to continue using this approach.
[1] The pyuic5
command is found within the pyqt5-dev-tools
package, so a sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev-tools
should do it.
