Input Dialog
Example
The code below creates a PyQt input dialog. After you click the button, you can enter some text. The text is shown as label.
The dialog is created in the method showDialog and it's just a few lines. Input dialig is part of PyQt5.QtWidgets.
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QWidget, QPushButton, , QInputDialog, QApplication, QLabel)
import sys
class Example(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
# Add button
self.btn = QPushButton('Show Input Dialog', self)
self.btn.move(30, 20)
self.btn.clicked.connect(self.showDialog)
# Add label
self.le = QLabel(self)
self.le.move(30, 62)
self.le.resize(400,22)
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 290, 150)
self.setWindowTitle('Input dialog')
self.show()
def showDialog(self):
text, ok = QInputDialog.getText(self, 'Input Dialog', 'Enter text:')
if ok:
self.le.setText(str(text))
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = Example()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
