Bases: Element

Base Qt Widget.

All elements with an underlying QWidget inherit from this element.

The props add basic functionality such as styling and event handlers.

Parameters:

• style (Union[Mapping[str, Any], Sequence[Mapping[str, Any]], None]) –

  style for the widget. Could either be a dictionary or a list of dictionaries.

  See Styling for a primer on styling.

• tool_tip (Optional[str]) – the tool tip displayed when hovering over the widget.

• cursor (Optional[str]) – the shape of the cursor when mousing over this widget. Must be one of: "default", "arrow", "pointer", "grab", "grabbing", "text", "crosshair", "move", "wait", "ew-resize", "ns-resize", "nesw-resize", "nwse-resize", "not-allowed", "forbidden"

• context_menu (Optional[Mapping[str, Union[None, Callable[[], Any], Mapping[str, Union[None, Callable[[], Any], ContextMenuType]]]]]) – the context menu to display when the user right clicks on the widget. Expressed as a dict mapping the name of the context menu entry to either a function (which will be called when this entry is clicked) or to another sub context menu. For example, {"Copy": copy_fun, "Share": {"Twitter": twitter_share_fun, "Facebook": facebook_share_fun}}

• css_class (Optional[Any]) –

  a string or a list of strings, which will be stored in the css_class property of the Qt Widget. This can be used in an application stylesheet, like:

  QLabel[css_class=”heading”] { font-size: 18px; }

• size_policy (Optional[QSizePolicy]) – Horizontal and vertical resizing policy, of type QSizePolicy

• focus_policy (Optional[FocusPolicy]) –

  The various policies a widget can have with respect to acquiring keyboard focus, of type FocusPolicy.

  See also QWidget.focusPolicy.

• enabled (Optional[bool]) – Whether the widget is enabled. If not, the widget will be grayed out and not respond to user input.

• on_click (Optional[Callable[[QMouseEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) – Callback for click events (mouse pressed and released). Takes a QMouseEvent as argument.

• on_key_down (Optional[Callable[[QKeyEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) – Callback for key down events (key pressed). Takes a QKeyEvent as argument. The key() method of QKeyEvent returns the Qt.Key pressed. The text() method returns the unicode of the key press, taking modifier keys (e.g. Shift) into account.

• on_key_up (Optional[Callable[[QKeyEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) –

  Callback for key up events (key released). Takes a QKeyEvent as argument.

• on_mouse_down (Optional[Callable[[QMouseEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) –

  Callback for mouse down events (mouse pressed). Takes a QMouseEvent as argument.

• on_mouse_up (Optional[Callable[[QMouseEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) –

  Callback for mouse up events (mouse released). Takes a QMouseEvent as argument.

• on_mouse_enter (Optional[Callable[[QMouseEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) –

  Callback for mouse enter events (triggered once every time mouse enters widget). Takes a QMouseEvent as argument.

• on_mouse_leave (Optional[Callable[[QMouseEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) –

  Callback for mouse leave events (triggered once every time mouse leaves widget). Takes a QMouseEvent as argument.

• on_mouse_move (Optional[Callable[[QMouseEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) –

  Callback for mouse move events (triggered every time mouse moves within widget). Takes a QMouseEvent as argument.

• on_drop (Optional[Callable[[QDragEnterEvent | QDragMoveEvent | QDragLeaveEvent | QDropEvent], None]]) –

  Handle drop events.

  See Dropping.

  The handler function will be passed one of

  • QDragEnterEvent when the proposed drop enters the widget.

  • QDragMoveEvent when the proposed drop moves over the widget.

  • QDragLeaveEvent when the proposed drop leaves the widget.

  • QDropEvent when the drop happens.

  The handler function should handle all cases. Example:

  dropped_files, dropped_files_set = use_state(cast(list[str], []))
  proposed_files, proposed_files_set = use_state(cast(list[str], []))
  
  def handle_on_drop(event: QDragEnterEvent | QDragMoveEvent | QDragLeaveEvent | QDropEvent):
      event.accept()
      match event:
          case QDragEnterEvent():
              # Handle proposed drop enter
              if event.mimeData().hasUrls():
                  event.acceptProposedAction()
                  proposed_files_set([url.toLocalFile()) for url in event.mimeData().urls()])
          case QDragMoveEvent():
              # Handle proposed drop move
              if event.mimeData().hasUrls():
                  event.acceptProposedAction()
          case QDragLeaveEvent():
              # Handle proposed drop leave
              proposed_files_set([])
          case QDropEvent():
              # Handle finalized drop
              if event.mimeData().hasUrls():
                  dropped_files_set(proposed_files)
                  proposed_files_set([])
  

  Note that the handler function cannot not be a coroutine.

• on_resize (Optional[Callable[[QResizeEvent], Optional[Awaitable[None]]]]) – Callback for resize events. Takes a QResizeEvent as argument.
