PyQt5 - QInputDialog Widget

This is a preconfigured dialog with a text field and two buttons, OK and Cancel. The parent window collects the input in the text box after the user clicks on Ok button or presses Enter.

The user input can be a number, a string or an item from the list. A label prompting the user what he should do is also displayed.

The QInputDialog class has the following static methods to accept input from the user −

Example

The following example implements the input dialog functionality. The top level window has three buttons. Their clicked() signal pops up InputDialog through connected slots.

items = ("C", "C++", "Java", "Python")
item, ok = QInputDialog.getItem(
   self, "select input dialog", "list of languages", items, 0, False
)
   if ok and item:
      self.le.setText(item)
		
   def gettext(self):
      text, ok = QInputDialog.getText(self, 'Text Input Dialog', 'Enter your name:')
      if ok:
         self.le1.setText(str(text))
			
   def getint(self):
      num,ok = QInputDialog.getInt(self,"integer input dualog","enter a number")
		
      if ok:
         self.le2.setText(str(num))

The complete code is as follows −

import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

class inputdialogdemo(QWidget):
   def __init__(self, parent = None):
      super(inputdialogdemo, self).__init__(parent)
		
      layout = QFormLayout()
      self.btn = QPushButton("Choose from list")
      self.btn.clicked.connect(self.getItem)
		
      self.le = QLineEdit()
      layout.addRow(self.btn,self.le)
      self.btn1 = QPushButton("get name")
      self.btn1.clicked.connect(self.gettext)
		
      self.le1 = QLineEdit()
      layout.addRow(self.btn1,self.le1)
      self.btn2 = QPushButton("Enter an integer")
      self.btn2.clicked.connect(self.getint)
		
      self.le2 = QLineEdit()
      layout.addRow(self.btn2,self.le2)
      self.setLayout(layout)
      self.setWindowTitle("Input Dialog demo")
		
   def getItem(self):
      items = ("C", "C++", "Java", "Python")
		
      item, ok = QInputDialog.getItem(
         self, "select input dialog", "list of languages", items, 0, False
      )
			
      if ok and item:
         self.le.setText(item)
			
   def gettext(self):
      text, ok = QInputDialog.getText(self, 'Text Input Dialog', 'Enter your name:')
		
      if ok:
         self.le1.setText(str(text))
			
   def getint(self):
      num,ok = QInputDialog.getInt(self,"integer input dualog","enter a number")
		
      if ok:
         self.le2.setText(str(num))
			
def main(): 
   app = QApplication(sys.argv)
   ex = inputdialogdemo()
   ex.show()
   sys.exit(app.exec_())
	
if __name__ == '__main__':
   main()
