I am kind of start learning python 2 months ago, I found your video is really really helpful, simple and easy for certain module or task introductions helps me to build my project eventually . I want to thank you for your spending time putting these material together . awesome job !!!

if you put the toggle after assigning the method the window start already Enlarged


checkBox.toggle()

[thirstyforbeer]

I don't quite understand the enlarge_window() method. It has the argument 'state' but you don't seem to pass this argument to it when you call it. Would you mind explaining how this works?

Won't swapping checkBox.toggle() - checkBox.stateChanged... work? Logically it can't call the method because it's not assigned yet.

[rohanrayakar]

Is there any method where we can check the status of the toggle (bit)? Eg. if toggle==1 then do something, if toggle==0 do something else?

[PalazonPhotograpy]

what about checking the box on the init method ? it should then automatically call the enlarge_window method. isn't it ?

hi what is the purpose of home & why are its contents not in the init, why are we keeping seperate

[andrewwidlacki]

even though i have checkBox = QtGui.QCheckBox('Enlarge Window', self) the text displayed next the the checkbox is only
'Enlarge Wind' i don't know what happened to the 'ow'

Am I missing something?

[michaelliu]

Is it possible to create a toolbar with only check boxes and without any icons?

[NitinChauhan-vhyk]

The text I used doesn't appear completely. I guess its a matter of the frame that is allotted to the checkbox. How can I make the entire text appear?

Great video. Just one question: I find the packing managers in tkinter very helpful. Is there anything similar in PyQt? Something that just arranges stuff for me and all I have to do is to determine a loose grid location? I feel like these 'fixed' move-locations for all those widgets will not be very convenient in larger forms or forms with dynamic content (image displays, canvas)....

how to change the color of the checkBox????

[TeamViperUK]

Couldn't you just put checkBox.toggle() after you do And then it would work?

[Peteman]

How do you get the current position, in case you don't want to move the window back to 50, 50 each time you press it?

[rairfs]

Hey man! Do you teach how to use Radio Button in these videos?

[viitaliich]

I have a problem: AttributeError: 'Window' object has no attribute 'enlagre_window'. Can somebody help to solve it?

[riatimohamed]

seems something is missing for both QmessageBox and CheckBox in Pyqt5, python stop working when we  this two feathurs.if anyone have already fixed this two issue please to share.

[robertmurch]

If you are on a Linux system and your text for the checkBox is getting cut off. Enter: after checkBox.move() in your home method.

Hello, thank you for sharing your knowledge of PyQt4, I have already watched your videos and found it interesting to pass a project that I have already up and running in WxPython to pass to PyQt, as I am having the trouble to make a button1 ("select all ") let trace 20 checkbox in just one click .checked == True, and conversely, make button2 (" uncheck All ") uncheck those 20 checkboxes leaving = .checked == False, could you help me in this ? sending source code of + or - 240 lines ...
