More Types of Dialog Boxes

Understand how to implement different PyQt6 dialog boxes like QInputDialog, QFontDialog, QColorDialog, and QMessageBox to collect user input and customize appearance. Learn to create submenus and checkable menu items to organize complex menus effectively in your GUI applications.

Several distinct dialog boxes inherent to PyQt are used in this session, including QInputDialog, QFileDialog, QFontDialog, QColorDialog, and QMessageBox.

Let's learn about some novel dialog box varieties and discover how to incorporate them into our code.

The QInputDialog class

PyQt includes a native dialog box called QInputDialog that may be used to take user input. A single value, a text, a number, or something from a list, serves as the input.

To make a text entry dialog and obtain user input:

Python 3.8
find_text, ok = QInputDialog.getText(self, "Search Text", "Find:")

In this case, invoking QInputDialog creates an input dialog object. The user input for the getText() method is a single string. The dialog's title, "Search Text", appears as the second argument, and the message, ...
