PyQt5 - Retrieving caption of Check Box

PyQt5 - Retrieving caption of Check Box

In PyQt5, to retrieve the caption (or text) of a QCheckBox widget, you can use the text() method. This method returns the label text associated with the check box.

Here's a simple example to demonstrate how to retrieve the caption of a QCheckBox:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QCheckBox, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton class Example(QWidget): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # Create a QVBoxLayout instance layout = QVBoxLayout(self) # Create a QCheckBox self.checkbox = QCheckBox('Check me', self) # Add the checkbox to the layout layout.addWidget(self.checkbox) # Create a QPushButton and connect its clicked signal to the slot button = QPushButton('Get Caption', self) button.clicked.connect(self.on_click) layout.addWidget(button) # Set the layout on the application's window self.setLayout(layout) def on_click(self): # Retrieve and print the caption of the checkbox caption = self.checkbox.text() print("Caption of CheckBox:", caption) def main(): app = QApplication(sys.argv) ex = Example() ex.show() sys.exit(app.exec_()) if __name__ == '__main__': main()

In this example:

  • A QCheckBox widget is created with the label "Check me".
  • A QPushButton is also created, and its clicked signal is connected to the on_click method.
  • Inside the on_click method, the text() method of the QCheckBox instance (self.checkbox) is called to retrieve its caption.
  • When you click the button, it prints the caption of the checkbox to the console.

This example demonstrates how you can easily interact with QCheckBox widgets in PyQt5, allowing you to retrieve and use their labels in your application logic.
