PyQt5 QSpinBox – How to get content margins

Last Updated : 19 May, 2020

In this article we will see how we can get the content margins of spin box, content margins is the margin between the content and the outer border. By default the content margins of spin box is set to 0 for each side although we can change this using setContentsMargins method.

In order to do this we use contentsMargins method.

Syntax : spin_box.contentsMargins()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns QMargin object

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui 
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtCore 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 spin box 
        self.spin = QSpinBox(self) 
  
        # setting geometry to spin box 
        self.spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 250, 40) 
  
        # setting range to the spin box 
        self.spin.setRange(0, 999999) 
  
        # setting prefix to spin 
        self.spin.setPrefix("Prefix ") 
  
        # setting suffix to spin 
        self.spin.setSuffix(" Suffix") 
  
        # creating label 
        label = QLabel(self) 
  
        # setting geometry to the label 
        label.setGeometry(100, 200, 200, 70) 
  
        # making it multi line label 
        label.setWordWrap(True) 
  
        # getting content margins 
        margin = self.spin.contentsMargins() 
  
        # setting text to the label 
        label.setText(str(margin)) 
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
window.spin.setFocus() 
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
