PyQt5 QSpinBox - Adding Description

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Adding Description

In PyQt5, QSpinBox doesn't natively support adding a description directly within the widget itself. However, you can achieve the effect of having a description by using other widgets alongside QSpinBox.

Here are a couple of common methods:

  1. Using a QLabel before or after the QSpinBox: You can place a QLabel next to a QSpinBox to act as a description.

  2. Using a QToolTip: You can set a tooltip for the QSpinBox, which will show a description when the user hovers over the spin box.

Here's an example demonstrating both methods:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QSpinBox, QVBoxLayout, QLabel, QWidget class SpinBoxDemo(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.central_widget = QWidget(self) self.layout = QVBoxLayout() # Method 1: Using QLabel for description self.description_label = QLabel("Enter your age:", self) self.layout.addWidget(self.description_label) # SpinBox self.spinBox = QSpinBox(self) self.spinBox.setRange(0, 100) # Method 2: Using QToolTip for description self.spinBox.setToolTip("This spin box accepts age values between 0 and 100.") self.layout.addWidget(self.spinBox) self.central_widget.setLayout(self.layout) self.setCentralWidget(self.central_widget) self.setGeometry(100, 100, 300, 200) self.setWindowTitle('QSpinBox with Description Demo') self.show() app = QApplication(sys.argv) demo = SpinBoxDemo() sys.exit(app.exec_())

In the example above:

  • QLabel provides a static visible description.
  • QToolTip provides a dynamic description that appears upon hovering over the QSpinBox.

You can choose one method or combine both based on the user experience you want to provide.
