adding QProgress bar within QLineEdit in PyQt or PySide - python

Hi I want to add the QProgressBar behind the QLIneEdit, just like it is in Safari Browser or IE, So here is my starting point how can I hook the ProgressBar and MyLineEdit together so that when user is done entering the path the progress bar should show the progress while the path is opened !!!
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
import sys
class ProgressBar(QtGui.QProgressBar):
""" docstring for ProgressBar
"""
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(ProgressBar, self).__init__(parent)
self.timer = QtCore.QBasicTimer()
self.step = 0
self.doAction()
def timerEvent(self, e):
if self.step >= 100:
self.timer.stop()
return
self.step = self.step + 15
self.setValue(self.step)
def doAction(self):
if self.timer.isActive():
self.timer.stop()
else:
self.timer.start(100, self)
class MyLineEdit(QtGui.QLineEdit):
""" docstring for MyLineEdit
"""
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MyLineEdit, self).__init__(parent)
# I want to hook this bar at the backgroind of MyLineEdit
pbar = ProgressBar()
class Example(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Example, self).__init__(parent)
self.pbar = ProgressBar(self)
self.editbx = MyLineEdit(self.pbar)
newPalette = QtGui.QPalette()
newPalette.setColor(self.editbx.backgroundRole(), QtCore.Qt.transparent)
self.editbx.setPalette(newPalette)
self.editbx.setText("Defaukt text set")
self.editbx.setStyleSheet("QLineEdit { border:none;}")
self.pbar.setStyleSheet("QProgressBar {border:none;}")
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
# self.pbar.setGeometry(30, 40, 200, 25)
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 280, 170)
self.setWindowTitle('QtGui.QProgressBar')
self.show()
def main():
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
win = Example()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
I also looking forward to add a QCombobox in place of text entered so it can list the other existing folders, not the way QCompleter uses though becuase it doesnt has look of QCombobox, and I do not want to allow user to enter anything that doesnt exists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've attached an example of a QLineEdit with a progress bar behind it. It was heavily influenced by this post: http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/54758-Progress-bar-form-QLineEdit-issue
Basically you have to manage painting yourself. Unfortunately it didn't seem to work when I tried to do the same thing with a QComboBox. I would suggest posting a new question specifically about painting a progress bar on a QComboBox once you get up to it!

if self.step >= 100:
self.timer.stop()
return
self.step = self.step + 10
self.repaint()
def doAction(self):
if self.timer.isActive():
self.timer.stop()
else:
self.timer.start(1000, self)
def generateGradient(self, color):
gradient = QLinearGradient(0, 0, 0, self.height());
m_defaultBaseColor = self.palette().color(QPalette.Base)
gradient.setColorAt(0, m_defaultBaseColor)
gradient.setColorAt(0.15, color.lighter(120))
gradient.setColorAt(0.5, color)
gradient.setColorAt(0.85, color.lighter(120))
gradient.setColorAt(1, m_defaultBaseColor)
return gradient
def paintEvent(self, event):
p = QPainter(self)
panel = QStyleOptionFrameV2()
self.initStyleOption(panel)
self.style().drawPrimitive(QStyle.PE_PanelLineEdit, panel, p, self)
# an alternative to painting the QLineEdit is to do it only when the widget has focus and the progress bar is finished
#if self.hasFocus() or self.step >= 100: QLineEdit.paintEvent(self, event)
# however I've chosen to paint it always
QLineEdit.paintEvent(self, event)
painter = QPainter(self)
lenap = QStyleOptionFrameV2()
self.initStyleOption(lenap)
backgroundRect = self.style().subElementRect(QStyle.SE_LineEditContents, lenap, self)
# some alternative if statements you might like to use instead...
#
# if not self.hasFocus() and self.step < 100:
# if self.step < 100:
if True:
loadingColor = QColor(116,192,250)
painter.setBrush(self.generateGradient(loadingColor))
painter.setPen(Qt.transparent)
mid = int(backgroundRect.width()/100.0*self.step)
progressRect = QRect(backgroundRect.x(), backgroundRect.y(), mid, backgroundRect.height())

PyQt5 Automatic drawing from input value

I have recently created a widget with Qpaint, which I want to pass value to it, at the same time force the Qpaint Widget to draw from input values. The idea is to define a data value from a Qdialog and pass it to main widget, and pass the value to Qpaint Widget class. I would like to have, when user clicks on the button 'Getting values' a dialog widget would appear and insert some int values, then pass it to main Widget. from there pass value to correct class Paint. Which would draw and display the result. I tried with Qlabel, to assign value first to Qlabel or QlineEdit,
class Button(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Button, self).__init__(parent)
---------
self.value = QtWidgets.QLabel()
--------
Then inside the paint class call the value or text of those. then assign it to Qpaint event. But seems does not work.'
class Paint(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Paint, self).__init__(parent)
self.button = Button()
self.Value = self.button.value
---------
painter.drawRect(100,100,250,250) <----- instead of value 250 having self.Value

I appreciate any help. Thankssss
datainput is irrelevant, your task is only to obtain a number so for space question I will not use it and instead I will use QInputDialog::getInt(). Going to the problem, the strategy in these cases where the value can be obtained at any time is to notify the change to the other view through a signal, in the slot that receives the value is to update a variable that stores the value and call update so that it calls when necessary to paintEvent, and in the paintEvent use the variable that stores the value.

How to update QWidget's content?

There is a QWidget, which is called with the button "Start" in the main widget.
It shows some text, which should be updated every minute during the work of the QWidget.
How can I make this infinity updating within this code?
class ExampleWidget(QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowTitle('Example Widget ScrollArea')
self.initUi()
def initUi(self):
area = QScrollArea(self)
area.setWidgetResizable(True)
self.scrollAreaWidgetContents = QLabel(some_text, self)
area.setWidget(self.scrollAreaWidgetContents)
button = QPushButton("Close")
button.clicked.connect(self.goMainWindow)
layoutV = QVBoxLayout()
layoutV.addWidget(area)
layoutV.addWidget(button)
self.setLayout(layoutV)
def goMainWindow(self):
self.hide()
def sizeHint(self):
return QSize(400, 200)
class MainWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
start_main_button = QPushButton('Start', self)
start_main_button.move(40, 40)
start_main_button.clicked.connect(self.start)
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 290, 150)
self.setWindowTitle('Test')
def start(self):
global some_text
some_text = 'some text'
self.result_widget = ExampleWidget()
self.result_widget.show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
One of my tries:
def start(self):
global some_text
some_text = 'some text'
self.result_widget = ExampleWidget()
self.result_widget.show()
i = 0
while True:
i+=1
some_text+=str(i)
self.result_widget = ExampleWidget()
self.result_widget.show()
Forget the global variables because they are considered bad practice, on the other hand in a GUI you should avoid having loops that consume a lot of time, and in your case a while True blocks the GUI. In Qt if you want to do periodic tasks you must use a QTimer:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets
class ExampleWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowTitle('Example Widget ScrollArea')
self.initUi()
def initUi(self):
area = QtWidgets.QScrollArea()
area.setWidgetResizable(True)
self.scrollAreaWidgetContents = QtWidgets.QLabel("some_text")
area.setWidget(self.scrollAreaWidgetContents)
button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Close")
button.clicked.connect(self.hide)
layoutV = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
layoutV.addWidget(area)
layoutV.addWidget(button)
def update_text(self, text):
# update the text
self.scrollAreaWidgetContents.setText(text)
def sizeHint(self):
return QtCore.QSize(400, 200)
class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
start_main_button = QtWidgets.QPushButton('Start', self)
start_main_button.move(40, 40)
start_main_button.clicked.connect(self.start)
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 290, 150)
self.setWindowTitle('Test')
self.result_widget = ExampleWidget()
self.timer = QtCore.QTimer(self, interval=60*1000)
self.timer.timeout.connect(self.on_timeout)
self.counter = 0
self.initial_text = "some_text"
def on_timeout(self):
# this method will be called every 60 * 1000 ms
self.initial_text += str(self.counter)
self.result_widget.update_text(self.initial_text)
self.counter += 1
#QtCore.pyqtSlot()
def start(self):
self.result_widget.show()
# start timer
self.timer.start()

If checkbox1 is checked and I press the run button, it will print 123. However, by pressing run button, I want checkbox2 to also print some texts entered in lineedit if the checkbox1 are also checked (i.e. it should print 123 first and then print 456).
I've looked up some similar types of questions, but none of that provides a proper answer. If anyone knows how to solve it, pls let me know thanks!!
The problem is that you are creating several Tab1Widget2, the first one you created in Tab1Layout, and that is the one you see, then you have created another one in Tab1Widget1, but not the time because you have not passed a parent, if you pass it to ** self ** as parent you will observe the following:
self.bridge = Tab1Widget2(self)
which is not what you want, so instead of creating a new you must pass the one that already exists, an option is to pass it through the constructor:
class Tab1Widget1(QWidget):
def __init__(self, bridge, parent=None): # Modify here
super().__init__(parent)
self.Tab1Widget1initUI()
self.bridge = bridge #Modify here
# ...
def test(self): print ('123')
def run(self):
if self.T1W1_checkbox.isChecked():
self.test()
if self.bridge.T1W2_checkbox.isChecked():
print (self.bridge.T1W2_le.text())
class Tab1Widget2(QWidget):
# ...
class Tab1Layout(QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super().__init__()
self.setLayout(QGridLayout())
self.group2 = Tab1Widget2(self) # Modify here
self.group1 = Tab1Widget1(self.group2, self) # Modify here
scroll = QScrollArea(self)
scroll.setWidget(self.group1)
scroll.setWidgetResizable(True)

Make QProgress bar snap in increments of 5 Pyside

I have created a custom progress bar which allows users to click and drag to choose their desired percent value. I was wondering how can I make it snap in increments of 5? Ideally I'll make this a property the user can set when using the control.
import sys
from PySide import QtGui, QtCore
class QProgressBarPro(QtGui.QProgressBar):
barClicked = QtCore.Signal()
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(QProgressBarPro, self).__init__(parent)
self.default_value = 50.0
self.lmb_pressed = False
def set_value_from_cursor(self, xpos):
width = self.frameGeometry().width()
percent = float(xpos) / width
val = self.maximum() * percent
self.setValue(val)
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
self.barClicked.emit()
mouse_button = event.button()
if mouse_button == QtCore.Qt.RightButton:
self.setValue(self.default_value)
else:
xpos = event.pos().x()
self.set_value_from_cursor(xpos)
self.lmb_pressed = True
def mouseReleaseEvent(self, event):
self.lmb_pressed = False
def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):
if self.lmb_pressed:
xpos = event.pos().x()
self.set_value_from_cursor(xpos)
# DEMO
class Example(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(Example, self).__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.ui_progress = QProgressBarPro()
self.ui_progress.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignRight | QtCore.Qt.AlignVCenter)
self.ui_progress.setValue(10)
gdl = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
gdl.addWidget(self.ui_progress)
self.setLayout(gdl)
self.resize(300, 300)
self.setWindowTitle('Tooltips')
self.show()
def main():
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = Example()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
It seems you just need to adjust the value before setting it:
def set_value_from_cursor(self, xpos):
width = self.frameGeometry().width()
percent = float(xpos) / width
val = self.maximum() * percent
if val % 5:
val += 5 - (val % 5)
self.setValue(val)

Running ProgressBar

Actual Code(posted on stack overflow) is pasted underneath . What i am trying is to remove the Start button and control status of the progressbar from a function inside some other class .
import sys, time
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class ProgressBar(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None, total=20):
super(ProgressBar, self).__init__(parent)
self.progressbar = QtGui.QProgressBar()
self.progressbar.setMinimum(1)
self.progressbar.setMaximum(total)
self.button = QtGui.QPushButton('Start')
self.button.clicked.connect(self.handleButton)
main_layout = QtGui.QGridLayout()
main_layout.addWidget(self.button, 0, 0)
main_layout.addWidget(self.progressbar, 0, 1)
self.setLayout(main_layout)
self.setWindowTitle('Progress')
self._active = False
def handleButton(self):
if not self._active:
self._active = True
self.button.setText('Stop')
if self.progressbar.value() == self.progressbar.maximum():
self.progressbar.reset()
QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(0, self.startLoop)
else:
self._active = False
def closeEvent(self, event):
self._active = False
def startLoop(self):
while True:
time.sleep(0.05)
value = self.progressbar.value() + 1
self.progressbar.setValue(value)
QtGui.qApp.processEvents()
if (not self._active or
value >= self.progressbar.maximum()):
break
self.close()
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
bar = ProgressBar(total=101)
bar.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
So i created a new class and replaced last few lines :
class drive():
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
bar = ProgressBar(total=101)
bar.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
def control_progressbar(..):
...
a=drive()
Through function control_progressbar i want to modify the progressbar.
