PyQt5 - How to set icon to the each item in ComboBox

Setting an icon for each item in a QComboBox in PyQt5 involves using the setIcon() method of the QComboBox's item. First, you need to create a QIcon object for each icon, and then you can set these icons to the corresponding items in the QComboBox.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

Step 1: Import Necessary Modules

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QComboBox from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon

Step 2: Create the Main Window and Layout

class AppDemo(QWidget): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.setWindowTitle("QComboBox Icon Example") self.resize(300, 150) layout = QVBoxLayout() # Create a QComboBox self.comboBox = QComboBox() # Add items and icons to the ComboBox self.addItemsWithIcons() layout.addWidget(self.comboBox) self.setLayout(layout) def addItemsWithIcons(self): # List of item names and icon paths items = [ ("Item 1", "path_to_icon1.png"), ("Item 2", "path_to_icon2.png"), # Add more items as needed ] for text, icon_path in items: # Create QIcon object icon = QIcon(icon_path) # Add item with icon to the ComboBox self.comboBox.addItem(icon, text)

Step 3: Initialize and Run the Application

if __name__ == '__main__': app = QApplication(sys.argv) demo = AppDemo() demo.show() sys.exit(app.exec_())

Notes

  • Replace "path_to_icon1.png" and "path_to_icon2.png" with the actual paths to your icon image files.
  • The QIcon constructor takes the path of the image file you want to use as an icon.
  • The addItem() method of QComboBox is used to add the item along with its icon to the combo box.
  • Ensure that the icon image files are accessible at the specified paths, and they are in a format supported by PyQt (like PNG, JPG, etc.).

Running this script will create a PyQt window with a QComboBox widget, where each item has a custom icon set next to it. This approach can be particularly useful for creating more visually engaging and intuitive UIs.
