ToggleButton

A toggle button is a QtGui.QPushButton in a special mode. It is a button that has two states: pressed and not pressed. We toggle between these two states by clicking on it. There are situations where this functionality fits well.

In this example, we create three toggle buttons.
They will control the background color of a 
QtGui.QFrame.

    def setColor(self, pressed):
        
        source = self.sender()
        
        if pressed:
            val = 255
        else: val = 0
                        
        if source.text() == "Red":
            self.col.setRed(val)                
        elif source.text() == "Green":
            self.col.setGreen(val)             
        else:
            self.col.setBlue(val) 
            
        self.square.setStyleSheet("QFrame { background-color: %s }" %
            self.col.name())  
            
        
def main():

if __name__ == ‘__main__‘:
    main()    

In our example, we create three toggle buttons and a QtGui.QWidget. We set the background color of the QtGui.QWidget to black. The toggle buttons will toggle the red, green, and blue parts of the color value. The background color will depend on which toggle buttons we have pressed.

self.col = QtGui.QColor(0, 0, 0)    

This is the initial, black colour value.

redb = QtGui.QPushButton(‘Red‘, self)
redb.setCheckable(True)
redb.move(10, 10)

To create a toggle button, we create a QtGui.QPushButton and make it checkable by calling thesetCheckable() method.

redb.clicked[bool].connect(self.setColor)

We connect a clicked signal to our user defined method. We use the clicked signal that operates with a Boolean value.

source = self.sender()

We get the button which was toggled.

if source.text() == "Red":
    self.col.setRed(val)   

In case it is a red button, we update the red part of the colour accordingly.

self.square.setStyleSheet("QFrame { background-color: %s }" %
    self.col.name())   

We use style sheets to change the background colour.
