PyQt5 - Set fixed length for width/height of Status Bar

PyQt5 – Set minimum length for width/height of Status Bar

Last Updated : 26 Mar, 2020

When we create a status bar, by default, the status bar size is resizable. Although we can use setMinimumSize() method with status bar to set the minimum size of the status bar but what if we want to set minimum length for width or height only.
In order to do, so we use setMinimumWidth() method with status bar to set minimum width and setMinimumHeight() method with status bar to set minimum height, when we use these method other length will be variable i.e there will be no minimum length to it, it can shrinks as much it can.

Syntax :
self.statusBar().setMinimumWidth(width)
self.statusBar().setMinimumHeight(height)
Argument :
Both take integer as argument.

Action performed :
setMinimumWidth() sets the minimum width.
setMinimumHeight() sets the minimum height.

Code :

from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
import sys 
  
  
class Window(QMainWindow): 
    def __init__(self): 
        super().__init__() 
  
        # set the title 
        self.setWindowTitle("Python") 
  
        # setting  the geometry of window 
        self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) 
  
        # setting status bar message 
        self.statusBar().showMessage("This is status bar") 
  
        # setting  border 
        self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;") 
  
        # setting minimum Height of status bar 
        self.statusBar().setMinimumHeight(100) 
  
        # creating a label widget 
        self.label_1 = QLabel("status bar", self) 
  
        # moving position 
        self.label_1.move(100, 100) 
  
        # setting up the border 
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :1px solid blue;") 
  
        # resizing label 
        self.label_1.adjustSize() 
  
        # show all the widgets 
        self.show() 
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
