Icon Label Frames¶

Icon label frames are frames that contain an icon and a text next to it. The icon is laid out vertically centered to the left of the text, and the text is wrapped to fit inside of the available space of the widget.

HTML-style formatting can be used in the text, including <a> links. A callback function can be registered to be called when a link in an icon label frame’s text has been clicked.

UI4.Widgets.IconLabelFrame¶

class UI4.Widgets.IconLabelFrame¶

Bases: PyQt5.QtWidgets.QFrame

Class implementing a frame that contains two labels for displaying an icon and a text next to it, with support for registering a callback function that is called when a link in the icon label’s text has been clicked.

The icon label and text label are contained in a horizontal box layout in a nested QtWidgets.QFrame, which itself is contained in a vertical box layout within the main QtWidgets.QFrame.

getText()¶

Return type: str
Returns: The text shown in the icon label frame.

setContentsMargins(left, top, right, bottom)¶

Sets the margin to use in the main layout of the frame.

Parameters

left (int) – The left margin to use in the main layout of the frame.
top (int) – The top margin to use in the main layout of the frame.
right (int) – The right margin to use in the main layout of the frame.
bottom (int) – The bottom margin to use in the main layout of the frame.

setForegroundRole(foregroundRole)¶

Sets the foreground role to use for the label in the icon label frame.

Parameters: foregroundRole (QtGui.QPalette.ColorRole) – The foreground role to use for the label in the icon label frame.

setIconPixmap(iconPixmap)¶

Sets icon image to show in the icon label frame.

Parameters: iconPixmap (QtGui.QPixmap) – The icon image to show in the icon label frame.

setLinkClickCallback(linkClickCallback)¶

Sets the function to call when a link in the icon label’s text has been clicked.

Parameters: linkClickCallback (callable or None) – A callable object that should be called when a link in the icon label’s text has been clicked, or None to clear the registered callback function.

setMargin(margin)¶

Deprecated: This function is deprecated. Please use setContentsMargins() instead.

setText(text)¶

Sets the text to show in the icon label frame.

Parameters: text (str) – The text to show in the icon label frame.

setWordWrap(wordWrap)¶

Sets whether text in the label inside of the icon label frame should break into multiple lines when necessary.

Parameters: wordWrap (bool) – Flag that controls whether text in the label inside of the icon label frame should break into multiple lines when necessary.

__init__(activeIconName=None, inactiveIconName=None, autoHide=True, parent=None, flags=0)¶

Initializes an instance of the class.

Parameters

activeIconName (str or None) – The name of the icon to show when the indicator label frame is in an active state, or None to not show an icon or to show a blank icon of the same size as the inactiveIconName icon.
inactiveIconName (str or None) – The name of the icon to show when the indicator label frame is in an inactive state, or None to not show an icon or to show a blank icon of the same size as the activeIconName icon.
autoHide (bool) – Flag that controls whether to automatically hide the widget if no message has been set.
parent (QtWidgets.QWidget or None) – The parent widget to own the new instance. Passed verbatim to the base class initializer.
