In this article we will see how we make combo box to hide its elements without clicking on it, in order to do this we will use hidePopup method.

Syntax : combo_box.hidePopup()

Argument : It takes no argument

Action performed : It will hide the pop up elements

Steps for implementation :

1. Create a combo box
2. Add items t the combo box
3. Create a push button
4. Add action to the push button such that when it get pressed method should get called
5. Inside the method hide the pop up with the help of hidePopup method.

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

import sys 
  
  
class Window(QMainWindow): 
  
    def __init__(self): 
        super().__init__() 
  
        # setting title 
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ") 
  
        # setting geometry 
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400) 
  
        # calling method 
        self.UiComponents() 
  
        # showing all the widgets 
        self.show() 
  
    # method for widgets 
    def UiComponents(self): 
  
        # creating a combo box widget 
        self.combo_box = QComboBox(self) 
  
        # setting geometry of combo box 
        self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 120, 30) 
  
        # geek list 
        geek_list = ["Geek", "Geeky Geek", "Legend Geek", "Ultra Legend Geek"] 
  
        # adding list of items to combo box 
        self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list) 
  
        # creating push button 
        button = QPushButton("Click !", self) 
  
        # adding action to the button 
        button.pressed.connect(self.action) 
  
    def action(self): 
  
        # hiding the pop up 
        self.combo_box.HidePopup() 
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
