I have a QPixmap within a QLabel that is changed based on a QComboBox selection. For example, the combobox may have a selection of fruits (e.g., 'apple', 'orange', 'banana'). If I choose 'apple' an image of an apple is displayed in the QLabel. I further want the image of the apple to change to a "special" image of an apple depending on whether a QRadioButton is toggled. Once I de-toggle the radio button the image should revert to the standard apple image. Currently I have it partially functional: if the radio button is toggled 'on' prior to selecting the combobox option, the image is displayed as desired; if, however, I toggle the radio button 'on' after selecting the combobox option only the standard image is displayed. Similarly, if I have the special image displayed and de-toggle the radio button, the image does not revert to the standard image.
I assume this has something to do with the "toggled()" method, but not sure how to implement it.
self.fruit_list = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana']
self.fruit_combo = QtGui.QComboBox()
self.fruit_combo.addItems(self.fruit_list)
self.btn = QtGui.QRadioButton("btn")
self.fruit_image = QtGui.QLabel(self)
self.grid.addWidget(self.fruit_image, 1, 1)
self.fruit_combo.currentIndexChanged[str].connect(lambda:
self.image_update(self.fruit_combo, self.fruit_image, self.btn)
def image_update(self, qcombobox, qlabel, btn):
image_path ="c :/images"
current_item = str(qcombobox.currentText())
if btn.isChecked():
current_image = '%s/%s_special.jpg' %(image_path, current_item)
else:
current_image = '%s/%s.jpg' %(image_path, current_item)
qlabel.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(current_image))
Thanks
@zachn, you are correct, the problem is concerning toggled- more specific, it is the toggled signal that you need to connect to: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractbutton.html#toggled
Try doing this:
import partial
self.btn.toggled.connect(partial (self.image_update, self.fruit_combo, self.fruit_lbl, self.btn))
EDIT: for @furas, here is some sample code, where I did not use images, only text to show changes in the QLabel. Note that I kept the method name image_update() even though it should be text_update(). (I coded this in Qt5, if used in Qt4 replace QtWidgets with QtGui)
class SomeFrame(object):
def __init__(self):
# Assets
fruit_list = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana']
# Creating content
self.frame = QtWidgets.QFrame()
self.fruit_combo = QtWidgets.QComboBox()
self.fruit_combo.addItems(fruit_list)
self.btn = QtWidgets.QRadioButton("btn")
self.fruit_lbl = QtWidgets.QLabel()
# Creating Layout
layout = QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(self.fruit_lbl)
layout.addWidget(self.btn)
layout.addWidget(self.fruit_combo)
self.frame.setLayout(layout)
# Initialize text in fruit_lbl
self.image_update(self.fruit_combo, self.fruit_lbl, self.btn)
self.frame.show()
# Connections
self.fruit_combo.currentIndexChanged[str].connect(lambda: self.image_update(self.fruit_combo, self.fruit_lbl, self.btn))
self.btn.toggled.connect(partial (self.image_update, self.fruit_combo, self.fruit_lbl, self.btn))
def image_update(self, qcombobox, qlabel, btn):
current_item = str(qcombobox.currentText())
if btn.isChecked():
new_text = 'CHECKED: %s' % current_item
else:
new_text = 'UNCHECKED: %s' % current_item
qlabel.setText(new_text)
if __name__ == "__main__":
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
import sys
from functools import partial
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
theFrame = SomeFrame()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
