QLineEdit focus Event

[ArunBm]

How do I capture QlineEdit Focus
Anybody Give me Python Code to Capture Focus Event

[jsulm]

@ArunBm You can subclass QLineEdit and reimplement https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#focusInEvent

[ArunBm]

cant be simple like self.btnClose.clicked.connect ( handler) like in case of QPushButton click Handler ?

@ArunBm
sadly a focusIn event is only available for QML objects, not QWidgets

Hi,

No, as @jsulm wrote and as explained in the documentation, you have to re-implement that method in a subclass. Or depending on what you want to do, an event filter might be enough.

Thanks @jsulm @SGaist
I found self.txtVillage.installEventFilter(self) which is sufficient for my needs.

Actually I designed a form using Qt Designer and want to capture OnFocus Event of QlineEdit Widget on Ui File. Is it possible to subclass and use it in Ui ?

[SGaist]

Do you mean subclass QLineEdit ?

[ArunBm]

yes @SGaist

[jsulm]

@ArunBm said in QLineEdit focus Event:

Is it possible to subclass and use it in Ui ?

Yes, it is.
Subclass it, add normal QLineEdit and then promote your own subclass.
