PyQt5 - Setting and accessing name of a Status Bar

In PyQt5, the QStatusBar widget provides a horizontal bar suitable for presenting status information. By default, QStatusBar itself doesn't have a direct method to set or get a "name". However, you can use the setObjectName() and objectName() methods provided by the base QObject class to set and retrieve a name for the status bar (or any other widget).

Here's how you can set and access the name of a QStatusBar:

Setting the Name:

statusBar.setObjectName("myStatusBar")

Accessing the Name:

name = statusBar.objectName() print(name) # Outputs: myStatusBar

Here's a complete example to demonstrate setting and accessing the name of a QStatusBar:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QStatusBar class Example(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.initUI() def initUI(self): # Create a status bar self.statusbar = QStatusBar() # Set a name for the status bar self.statusbar.setObjectName("myStatusBar") # Set the status bar for the QMainWindow self.setStatusBar(self.statusbar) # Set some message on the status bar self.statusbar.showMessage('Status Bar message') # Accessing the name of the status bar name = self.statusbar.objectName() print(name) # Outputs: myStatusBar self.setGeometry(300, 300, 250, 150) self.setWindowTitle('Status Bar') self.show() app = QApplication(sys.argv) ex = Example() sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this example, we've set the name of the QStatusBar to "myStatusBar" and then accessed and printed it.
