Here is a picture of my GUI:
I want to display all 100 items in my list widget without an inner scroll bar (there is an outer scroll bar, so there is no issue that I cannot fit all the items).
I have tried disabling the scroll bar for the list widget, but that didn't increase the number of items the list widget was displaying.
Here is my code:
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
import sys
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
dlg = QDialog()
listWidget = QListWidget()
for i in range(100):
listWidget.addItem(QListWidgetItem("Item " + str(i)))
layout1 = QVBoxLayout()
layout1.addWidget(QLabel("Label 1"))
groupBox1 = QGroupBox("Group 1")
groupBox1.setLayout(layout1)
layout2 = QVBoxLayout()
layout2.addWidget(listWidget)
groupBox2 = QGroupBox("Group 2")
groupBox2.setLayout(layout2)
nestedWidgetLayout = QVBoxLayout()
nestedWidgetLayout.addWidget(groupBox1)
nestedWidgetLayout.addWidget(groupBox2)
nestedWidget = QWidget()
nestedWidget.setLayout(nestedWidgetLayout)
scrollArea = QScrollArea()
scrollArea.setWidget(nestedWidget)
mainLayout = QVBoxLayout()
mainLayout.addWidget(scrollArea)
dlg.setLayout(mainLayout)
dlg.show()
app.exec()
The #a_manthey_67 solution gives us a starting point but has several limitations:
It is calculated for a specific number of items so if items are added/deleted it will fail.
Manually set the height of each item instead of obtaining the height set by the style.
Considering the above, I have implemented a similar logic using sizeHintForRow(), in addition to enabling the widgetResizable property of the QScrollArea and disabling the verticalScrollBar.
import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import pyqtSlot, Qt
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (
QApplication,
QDialog,
QGroupBox,
QLabel,
QListWidget,
QListWidgetItem,
QScrollArea,
QVBoxLayout,
QWidget,
)
class ListWidget(QListWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super().__init__(parent)
self.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
self.model().rowsInserted.connect(self._recalcultate_height)
self.model().rowsRemoved.connect(self._recalcultate_height)
#pyqtSlot()
def _recalcultate_height(self):
h = sum([self.sizeHintForRow(i) for i in range(self.count())])
self.setFixedHeight(h)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
dlg = QDialog()
listWidget = ListWidget()
for i in range(100):
listWidget.addItem(QListWidgetItem("Item " + str(i)))
layout1 = QVBoxLayout()
layout1.addWidget(QLabel("Label 1"))
groupBox1 = QGroupBox("Group 1")
groupBox1.setLayout(layout1)
layout2 = QVBoxLayout()
layout2.addWidget(listWidget)
groupBox2 = QGroupBox("Group 2")
groupBox2.setLayout(layout2)
nestedWidget = QWidget()
nestedWidgetLayout = QVBoxLayout(nestedWidget)
nestedWidgetLayout.addWidget(groupBox1)
nestedWidgetLayout.addWidget(groupBox2)
scrollArea = QScrollArea(widgetResizable=True)
scrollArea.setWidget(nestedWidget)
mainLayout = QVBoxLayout(dlg)
mainLayout.addWidget(scrollArea)
dlg.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if the height of listwidget is bigger than the height of all all items all items are shown in listWidget but no scrollbar (of listWidget). in this snippet height of items is set by item.sizeHint() and the needed height of listwidget calculated 10 px bigger than needed for all items. sizeHint() needs QSize as parameter.
listWidget = QListWidget()
lineHeight = 20
items = 100
for i in range(items):
item = QListWidgetItem("Item " + str(i)) # get every item to set sizeHint()
item.setSizeHint(QSize(-1, lineHeight)) # -1 = width undefined
listWidget.addItem(item)
listWidget.setFixedHeight(items*lineHeight + 10) # set fixed height of listwidget
I need to get the table row index during a contextMenuEvent in pyQt5, but I keep getting odd row offsets. Since this is my first pyQt project, I'm quite lost. I have the following code.
def contextMenuEvent(self, event):
menu = QMenu(self)
openAction = menu.addAction('Open in browser')
action = menu.exec_(event.globalPos())
if action == openAction:
row = self.tableWidget.rowAt(event.y()) # Should this be event.globalY?
self.so_something(row)
Edit: adding code sample. You can see that when the execution gets to the event produced when right-clicking on a row, the printed number is not the correct row number. Usually it has an offset, and last rows produce -1.

The coordinate that rowAt() method requires must be with respect to the viewport of the QTableWidget so you must convert the global position to local using mapFromGlobal() method:
def contextMenuEvent(self, event):
gp = event.globalPos()
menu = QMenu(self)
openAction = menu.addAction("Open in browser")
action = menu.exec_(gp)
vp_pos = self.tableWidget.viewport().mapFromGlobal(gp)

print(row)
I've created aQMainWindow with menubar and 4 dockable widgets. First dockwidget contents multipletabs, second is Qpainter widget, third is Matlabplot and fourth is pdf report.
When I run the code shows up like this below.
I want to be like below.
I want to divide screen into four widget automatically whenever it runs at any screen, And I want to have tabs to resize to its content.
Or do you have any better idea of having such widget, you are welcome to come with it.
Update of code
Resize of Qdockwidget brings this post forward. It seems that Qt Qdockwidget resize has been an issue for long time ago. I find it very difficult to program my Qmainwindow with 4 Qdockwidget, which the dock would fit and resize according to its contents, with other words, child widget. and According to Qt documentation, Qdockwidget resizes and respect the size of child Widgets. to get straight to problem, my mainwindow has 4 qdockwidgets, I would like to have them resizable according to contents.
What I have tried and used so far.
I have used following size functions.
self.sizeHint, self.minimumSize(), self.maximumSize() and self.setFixedSize(self.sizeHint()).
I am able to fix the size of contents in first Qdockwidget by using following codes.
self.setFixedSize(self.sizeHint())
Above code is written in the child widgets Class widgets
But that is not enough in order to work it, despite following codes needed to run and effect.
self.first.setMinimumSize(self.first.sizeHint())
self.grid.setMinimumSize(self.grid.sizeHint())
self.third.setMinimumSize(self.third.sizeHint())
self.adjustSize()
self.first.setMinimumSize(self.first.minimumSizeHint())
self.grid.setMinimumSize(self.grid.minimumSizeHint())
self.third.setMinimumSize(self.third.minimumSizeHint())
Noting that still my dockwindow does not resize according to child widgets. Dockwidget expand and increase. One may ask, Qdockwidgets could arrange and control by resizeDocks(). This code line is used and tried, but still does not get the desired behaviour.
I have been looking around and could find some relevant questions.
C++ resize a docked Qt QDockWidget programmatically?
Forcing a QDockWidget to behave like a central widget when it comes to resizing
Create a QDockWidget that resizes to it's contents
Those questions do not solve my problem.
Visualization of my code launch
1- When code runs and display on screen.
2- Desired and wanted display by first run of software.
3- When user tabs between tabwidgets want to resize to its content as image below.
4- The code is given below.

I would appreciate much any help on this.
If floating windows aren't essential to your tool then you can try dropping QDockWidget and using a series of QSplitter instead. This way you can have your nice box layout while having tabs to resize horizontally and vertically, and still resizing properly when the tool as a whole resizes.
My example is in PySide2, but you'll probably need to do very minor tweaks to PyQt5 (probably just the import names):
from PySide2 import QtCore
from PySide2 import QtGui
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
class SubWindow(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, label, parent=None):
super(SubWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(label, parent=self)
self.label.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
self.label.setStyleSheet("QLabel {font-size:40px;}")
self.main_layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.label)
self.setLayout(self.main_layout)
class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.sub_win_1 = SubWindow("1", parent=self)
self.sub_win_2 = SubWindow("2", parent=self)
self.sub_win_3 = SubWindow("3", parent=self)
self.sub_win_4 = SubWindow("4", parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_1 = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal, parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_1.addWidget(self.sub_win_1)
self.sub_splitter_1.addWidget(self.sub_win_2)
self.sub_splitter_2 = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal, parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_2.addWidget(self.sub_win_3)
self.sub_splitter_2.addWidget(self.sub_win_4)
self.splitter = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Vertical, parent=self)
self.splitter.addWidget(self.sub_splitter_1)
self.splitter.addWidget(self.sub_splitter_2)
self.main_layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.splitter)
self.setLayout(self.main_layout)
self.setWindowTitle("Layout example")
self.resize(500, 500)
inst = MainWindow()
inst.show()
This gives you something like this:
Right now the top/bottom horizontal splitters function separately, but you can easily tie them together with an event.
Hope that helps!
I think it should be much easier to create a scrollable window in PyQt.
I have a list of labels that goes out of the window and I would like to scroll down to view them. At the moment the code does not give me an error, but the window just doesn't appear:
class Example(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
layout = QVBoxLayout()
lbl_arr = makeLabelArr()
for i in range(1,8):
qb = lbl_arr[i]
# qb.setFixedWidth(300)
layout.addWidget(qb)
layout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignTop)
scroll = QScrollArea()

Make the window itself a QScrollArea, like this:
class Window(QScrollArea):
def __init__(self):
super(Window, self).__init__()
widget = QWidget()
layout = QVBoxLayout(widget)
layout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignTop)
for index in range(100):
layout.addWidget(QLabel('Label %02d' % index))
self.setWidget(widget)
self.setWidgetResizable(True)
There is an example here: https://www.learnpyqt.com/tutorials/qscrollarea/
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QWidget, QSlider, QLineEdit, QLabel, QPushButton, QScrollArea,QApplication,
QHBoxLayout, QVBoxLayout, QMainWindow)
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt, QSize
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, uic
import sys
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.scroll = QScrollArea() # Scroll Area which contains the widgets, set as the centralWidget
self.widget = QWidget() # Widget that contains the collection of Vertical Box
self.vbox = QVBoxLayout() # The Vertical Box that contains the Horizontal Boxes of labels and buttons
for i in range(1,50):
object = QLabel("TextLabel: "+str(i))
self.vbox.addWidget(object)
self.widget.setLayout(self.vbox)
#Scroll Area Properties
self.scroll.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOn)
self.scroll.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
self.scroll.setWidgetResizable(True)
self.scroll.setWidget(self.widget)
self.setCentralWidget(self.scroll)
self.setGeometry(600, 100, 1000, 900)
self.setWindowTitle('Scroll Area Demonstration')
self.show()
return
def main():
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
main = MainWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
You should set layout after adding the scroll bar widget.
class Example(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
layout = QVBoxLayout()
lbl_arr = makeArrayOfLabelsHTML()
for i in range(1,8):
qb = lbl_arr[i]
layout.addWidget(qb)
layout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignTop)
scroll = QScrollArea()
scroll.setWidget(self)
scroll.setWidgetResizable(True)
scroll.setFixedHeight(400)
layout.addWidget(scroll)
# set layout after adding scroll bar
self.setLayout(layout)
self.setGeometry(0, 0, 600, 220)
self.setWindowTitle('SnP watchlist')
self.show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
#print(QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry())
ex = Example()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
I have been studying PyQt5 and recenlty decided to make a gui for a simple chat client. This is my mockup:
I used QGridLayout, and this is what I got:
How do I decrease the size of the bottom QTextEdit, so it has 2-3 available lines, and make QPushButton larger?
My program:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QMainWindow, QAction, QApplication, QDesktopWidget,
QDialog, QTextEdit, QGridLayout, QPushButton, QWidget)
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
class Chat(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.populateUI()
self.resize(400, 400)
self.center()
self.setWindowTitle('Simple Chat')
self.show()
def center(self):
qr = self.frameGeometry()
cp = QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center()
qr.moveCenter(cp)
self.move(qr.topLeft())
def populateUI(self):
self.createMenu()
self.statusBar()
centralWidget = CentralWidget()
self.setCentralWidget(centralWidget)
def createMenu(self):
menuBar = self.menuBar()
fileMenu = menuBar.addMenu('&File')
fileMenu.addAction(self.createExitAction())
helpMenu = menuBar.addMenu('&Help')
helpMenu.addAction(self.createAboutAction())
def createExitAction(self):
exitAction = QAction(QIcon('exit.png'), '&Exit', self)
exitAction.setShortcut('Ctrl+Q')
exitAction.setStatusTip('Exit application')
exitAction.triggered.connect(self.close)
return exitAction
def createAboutAction(self):
aboutAction = QAction(QIcon('info.png'), '&About', self)
aboutAction.setShortcut('Ctrl+H')
aboutAction.setStatusTip('Information about the program')
aboutAction.triggered.connect(self.createAboutDialog)
return aboutAction
def createAboutDialog(self):
dialog = QDialog(self)
dialog.setWindowTitle('About')
dialog.setWindowIcon(QIcon('info.png'))
dialog.resize(200, 200)
dialog.exec_()
class CentralWidget(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
ribbon = QTextEdit()
chat = QTextEdit()
sendBtn = QPushButton('Send')
grid = QGridLayout()
grid.setSpacing(3)
grid.addWidget(ribbon, 0, 0, 1, 3)
grid.addWidget(chat, 1, 0, 1, 1)
grid.addWidget(sendBtn, 1, 2)
self.setLayout(grid)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
chat = Chat()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
You first need to set a fixed height for the bottom text-edit based on the number of lines you want shown. This also needs to take account of the frame and document margin:
def initUI(self):
...
chat.setFixedHeight(
(chat.fontMetrics().lineSpacing() * 3) +
(chat.document().documentMargin() * 2) +
(chat.frameWidth() * 2) - 1
)
You then need to change the size policy of the button so that it expands vertically:
policy = sendBtn.sizePolicy()
policy.setVerticalPolicy(QSizePolicy.MinimumExpanding)
sendBtn.setSizePolicy(policy)
Finally, you need to set the stretch factors on the first row and column so that the text-edits take up all the available space:
grid.setRowStretch(0, 1)
grid.setColumnStretch(0, 1)
I guess you are looking after setFixedSize(QSize size) of QWidget.
