PyQt5 – Background image of pressed radio button

0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how we can set background image to the pressed radio button, by default there is no image set to the radio button when it get pressed. Pressed button background image appear every time when radio button is checked or unchecked.

In order to set background image to the pressed radio button we have to change the style sheet code, below is the style sheet code.

QRadioButton::pressed
{
background-image : url(image.png);
}

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 a radio button 
        self.radio_button = QRadioButton(self) 
  
        # setting geometry of radio button 
        self.radio_button.setGeometry(200, 150, 120, 40) 
  
        # setting text to radio button 
        self.radio_button.setText("Radio Button") 
  
        # changing style sheet code of radio button 
        # setting background image for pressed radio button 
        self.radio_button.setStyleSheet("QRadioButton::pressed"
                                        "{"
                                        "background-image: url(image.png);"
                                        "}") 
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
