How to get value from a QSlider [duplicate] - python

This question already has answers here:
PySide (or PyQt) signals and slots basics
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
In this code i want to make a GUI of QSlider with PyQt5. What all I want is to print changing value as i move the slider. But here, it only prints 90 which is the primary value of the slider.
N.B: I know that continuously changing value can be printed from valuechange function. But I need to print the value only from init function.
The code:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QCheckBox, QGridLayout,
QGroupBox,QMenu, QPushButton,
QRadioButton, QVBoxLayout,
QWidget, QSlider,QLabel)
class sliderdemo(QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(sliderdemo, self).__init__(parent)
layout = QVBoxLayout()
self.sl = QSlider(Qt.Horizontal)
self.sl.setMinimum(0)
self.sl.setMaximum(180)
self.sl.setValue(90)
self.sl.setTickPosition(QSlider.TicksBelow)
self.sl.setTickInterval(10)
layout.addWidget(self.sl)
self.sl.valueChanged.connect(self.valuechange)
self.setLayout(layout)
self.setWindowTitle("slider")
print(self.valuechange())
def valuechange(self):
self.size = self.sl.value()
return self.size
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = sliderdemo()
ex.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

If you really want, you can :-)
import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QCheckBox, QGridLayout,
QGroupBox,QMenu, QPushButton,
QRadioButton, QVBoxLayout,
QWidget, QSlider,QLabel)
class sliderdemo(QWidget):
def __init__(self, vSl=90, parent=None):
super(sliderdemo, self).__init__(parent)
layout = QVBoxLayout()
self.sl = QSlider(Qt.Horizontal)
self.sl.setMinimum(0)
self.sl.setMaximum(180)
self.sl.setValue(vSl)
self.sl.setTickPosition(QSlider.TicksBelow)
self.sl.setTickInterval(10)
layout.addWidget(self.sl)
self.sl.valueChanged[int].connect(self.valuechange)
self.setLayout(layout)
self.setWindowTitle("slider")
#print(self.valuechange())
print("__init__vSl -> ", vSl)
def valuechange(self, value):
#self.size = self.sl.value()
self.__init__(value)
#return self.size
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = sliderdemo(90)
ex.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

PyQt5 resize widgets automatically when changing window size

I'm dealing with my first Pyqt5 app and I'm having an hard time understanding how to make my widgets change size according to the change of the window size (like when the window is Maximized). This is my code:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (
QApplication,
QHBoxLayout,
QVBoxLayout,
QFrame,
QListWidget,
QPlainTextEdit,
QWidget,
)
# from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui,
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowTitle("Title")
self.centralwidget = QWidget(self)
self.centralwidgetHorizontalLayout = QHBoxLayout(self.centralwidget)
self.citationsFrame = QFrame(self.centralwidget)
self.citationsFrameVerticalLayout = QVBoxLayout(self.citationsFrame)
self.citationPlainTextWidget = QPlainTextEdit(self.citationsFrame)
self.citationsFrameVerticalLayout.addWidget(self.citationPlainTextWidget)
self.citationListWidget = QListWidget(self.citationsFrame)
self.citationsFrameVerticalLayout.addWidget(self.citationListWidget)
self.centralwidgetHorizontalLayout.addWidget(self.citationsFrame)
self.centralwidgetHorizontalLayout.addWidget(self.citationsFrame)
self.referencesFrame = QFrame(self.centralwidget)
self.referencesFrameHorizontalLayout = QHBoxLayout(self.referencesFrame)
self.referencesListWidget = QListWidget(self.referencesFrame)
self.referencesListWidget.setDragEnabled(True)
self.referencesFrameHorizontalLayout.addWidget(self.referencesListWidget)
self.centralwidgetHorizontalLayout.addWidget(self.referencesFrame)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
What am I doing wrong?

PYQT5 GIF freezes on GUI initialization

Keep gif running while GUI starts. Is that possible? I have read many reporitys but none with the true and understandable answer.
I have prepared a code example that shows the problem.
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QLabel, QGridLayout, QWidget
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtGui import QMovie
from PyQt5.QtCore import QSize, QThread
class Main_Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
QMainWindow.__init__(self)
self.setMinimumSize(QSize(500, 500))
self.setWindowTitle("Main Window")
centralWidget = QWidget(self)
self.setCentralWidget(centralWidget)
gridLayout = QGridLayout(self)
centralWidget.setLayout(gridLayout)
gif = QLabel(self)
gif.setGeometry(0,0,500,500)
self.movie = QMovie(r"C:\Users\...\Pictures\Icon_LOAD.gif")
gif.setMovie(self.movie)
self.movie.start()
# #Call event handler to process the queue, but it is shocking, dirty and unsuitable
#app.processEvents()
self.show()
for i in range(0,1000000):
print(i)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
MainWin = Main_Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Now it works smooth
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QLabel, QGridLayout, QWidget
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtGui import QMovie
from PyQt5.QtCore import QSize
from threading import Thread
class Main_Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
QMainWindow.__init__(self)
self.setMinimumSize(QSize(500, 500))
self.setWindowTitle("Main Window")
centralWidget = QWidget(self)
self.setCentralWidget(centralWidget)
gridLayout = QGridLayout(self)
centralWidget.setLayout(gridLayout)
gif = QLabel(self)
gif.setGeometry(0,0,500,500)
self.movie = QMovie(r"gif.gif")
gif.setMovie(self.movie)
self.movie.start()
self.show()
Thread(target=self.function_on_thread).start()
def function_on_thread(self):
for i in range(0,1000000):
print(i)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
MainWin = Main_Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

PyQt5, I need not to print continuously but instead it only changes the QLabel

I need it to be not continuously printing but instead it only change the QLabel,
I dont need to add more, just whenever you write in Line edit it should replace the existing text. I need it like a stocks
This is the code:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QHBoxLayout, QPushButton, QLabel, QLineEdit
from PyQt5.QtCore import pyqtSlot
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.hbox = QHBoxLayout()
self.game_name = QLabel("Stocks:", self)
self.game_line_edit = QLineEdit(self)
self.search_button = QPushButton("Print", self)
self.search_button.clicked.connect(self.on_click)
self.hbox.addWidget(self.game_name)
self.hbox.addWidget(self.game_line_edit)
self.hbox.addWidget(self.search_button)
self.setLayout(self.hbox)
self.show()
#pyqtSlot()
def on_click(self):
game = QLabel(self.game_line_edit.text(), self)
self.hbox.addWidget(game)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
win = Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
You have to create a QLabel, set it in the layout and only update the text with setText():
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QHBoxLayout, QPushButton, QLabel, QLineEdit
from PyQt5.QtCore import pyqtSlot
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.game_name = QLabel("Stocks:")
self.game_line_edit = QLineEdit()
self.search_button = QPushButton("Print")
self.search_button.clicked.connect(self.on_click)
self.game = QLabel()
hbox = QHBoxLayout(self)
hbox.addWidget(self.game_name)
hbox.addWidget(self.game_line_edit)
hbox.addWidget(self.search_button)
hbox.addWidget(self.game)
self.show()
#pyqtSlot()
def on_click(self):
self.game.setText(self.game_line_edit.text())
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
win = Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

PyQt5: how to inherit a widget with its layout or geometry?

I put a QLineEdit in form.ui, and I want to use CustomLabel to inheriance it. But there are both 2 QLineEdit(lines in form.ui and CustomLabel) in my mainwindow.
How should I deal with this situation?
Here is the image of my programme
Here is my code:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QPushButton, QLineEdit, QLabel
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
from PyQt5.QtCore import pyqtSlot
import PyQt5.uic as uic
form_ui,_ =uic.loadUiType('form.ui')
print(type(form_ui))
class Mainwindow(QWidget,form_ui):
"""docstring for App"""
def __init__(self):
super(Mainwindow, self).__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
path_lineEdit = CustomLabel(self.lines)
class CustomLabel(QLineEdit):
def __init__(self,parent=None):
super(CustomLabel,self).__init__(parent)
# self.resize(parent.size())
def dragEnterEvent(self, e):
if e.mimeData().hasFormat('text/plain'):
e.accept()
else:
e.ignore()
def dropEvent(self, e):
self.setText('212'+e.mimeData().text())
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = Mainwindow()
ex.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

PyQt5: Want to start a specific subprocess with a button click

One day old in terms of experience with PyQT, I followed sample code HERE to do this, but I am clueless as to how I could separate the start download part from the start GUI part, so that I can instead start that when I press the OK (startBtn)button. Also, know the command I do doesn't do anything but give you an error, but I know that works.
Any help appreciated!
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QMainWindow, QAction, qApp, QDesktopWidget, QPushButton, QHBoxLayout, QVBoxLayout, QTextEdit
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread, QProcess
import sys
class GUI(QProcess):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
# Create an instance variable here (of type QTextEdit)
startBtn = QPushButton('OK')
stopBtn = QPushButton('Cancel')
#startBtn.clicked.connect()
stopBtn.clicked.connect(qApp.exit)
self.hbox = QHBoxLayout()
self.hbox.addStretch(1)
self.hbox.addWidget(startBtn)
self.hbox.addWidget(stopBtn)
self.edit = QTextEdit()
self.edit.setWindowTitle("QTextEdit Standard Output Redirection")
self.vbox = QVBoxLayout()
self.vbox.addStretch(1)
self.vbox.addWidget(self.edit)
self.vbox.addLayout(self.hbox)
#setLayout(self.vbox)
self.central=QWidget()
#self.vbox.addWidget(self.edit)
self.central.setLayout(self.vbox)
self.central.show()
def readStdOutput(self):
self.edit.append(str(self.readAllStandardOutput()))
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
qProcess = GUI()
qProcess.setProcessChannelMode(QProcess.MergedChannels);
qProcess.start("youtube-dl")
qProcess.readyReadStandardOutput.connect(qProcess.readStdOutput);
return app.exec_()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
2 notes:
If you also know how to disable the OK button when you press it, until the process is finished, then I'd love to know.
Not all imports are used, but I can clean that later. PyCharm show which is used and not. Cleanup is for later.
To do what you ask you have to have some considerations:
youtube-dl requires parameters, like the url, for this I have placed a QLineEdit.
To know when the process starts and ends, we use the signal: stateChanged(newState)
Complete code:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import QProcess
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QPushButton, QHBoxLayout, QVBoxLayout, QTextEdit, QLabel, QLineEdit
class GUI(QProcess):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(GUI, self).__init__(parent=parent)
# Create an instance variable here (of type QTextEdit)
self.startBtn = QPushButton('OK')
self.stopBtn = QPushButton('Cancel')
self.hbox = QHBoxLayout()
self.hbox.addStretch(1)
self.hbox.addWidget(self.startBtn)
self.hbox.addWidget(self.stopBtn)
self.label = QLabel("Url: ")
self.lineEdit = QLineEdit()
self.lineEdit.textChanged.connect(self.EnableStart)
self.hbox2 = QHBoxLayout()
self.hbox2.addWidget(self.label)
self.hbox2.addWidget(self.lineEdit)
self.edit = QTextEdit()
self.edit.setWindowTitle("QTextEdit Standard Output Redirection")
self.vbox = QVBoxLayout()
self.vbox.addStretch(1)
self.vbox.addLayout(self.hbox2)
self.vbox.addWidget(self.edit)
self.vbox.addLayout(self.hbox)
self.central = QWidget()
self.central.setLayout(self.vbox)
self.central.show()
self.startBtn.clicked.connect(self.startDownload)
self.stopBtn.clicked.connect(self.kill)
self.stateChanged.connect(self.slotChanged)
self.EnableStart()
def slotChanged(self, newState):
if newState == QProcess.NotRunning:
self.startBtn.setDisabled(False)
elif newState == QProcess.Running:
self.startBtn.setDisabled(True)
def startDownload(self):
self.start("youtube-dl", [self.lineEdit.text()])
def readStdOutput(self):
self.edit.append(str(self.readAllStandardOutput()))
def EnableStart(self):
self.startBtn.setDisabled(self.lineEdit.text() == "")
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
qProcess = GUI()
qProcess.setProcessChannelMode(QProcess.MergedChannels)
qProcess.readyReadStandardOutput.connect(qProcess.readStdOutput)
return app.exec_()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
