Last Updated : 22 Apr, 2020

In this article we will see how to set and get the name of progress bar. Name of progress bar is basically a named assigned to a progress bar by the developer. Name is set in order to classify the progress bar as while designing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) application, progress bar is created in order to classify them names are given to them like “loading”, “downloading”, “transfer” etc.

In order to set the name to progress bar setAccessibleName method is used and to get the name accessibleName method is used, if no name is assigned accessibleName() method will return blank string.

Syntax :
bar.setAccessibleName(name)
bar.accessibleName()
Argument :
setAccessibleName takes string as argument.
accessibleName takes no argument.

Return :
setAccessibleName returns None.
accessibleName returns string.

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 progress bar 
        bar = QProgressBar(self) 
  
        # setting geometry to progress bar 
        bar.setGeometry(200, 100, 200, 30) 
  
        # setting the value 
        bar.setValue(30) 
  
        # setting alignment to center 
        bar.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter) 
  
        # setting up the name 
        bar.setAccessibleName("Loading") 
  
        # getting the name 
        name = bar.accessibleName() 
  
        # creating label to display the name 
        label = QLabel("Name of progress bar = " + name, self) 
  
        # adjusting the size of label 
        label.adjustSize() 
  
        # changing the position of label 
        label.move(200, 150) 
  
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
