<div><div> <p>I'm working on creating a custom widget for Qt Designer in Python using PyQt or PySide. I want to expose an enum property in the Qt Designer property editor, so that users can select from a list of predefined options rather than typing in arbitrary values.</p> <p>In C++, it is possible to expose an enum to Qt Designer using Q_ENUMS and Q_PROPERTY, as described in this [Stack Overflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49172604/qt-custom-widget-plugin-q-property-with-enum).</p> <p>I want to achieve the same result in Python. Specifically, I want to:</p> <p>- Define an enum in Python that can be used as a property in my custom widget.<br>- Ensure that this enum is displayed as a dropdown list in the Qt Designer property editor.</p> <p><br>Here's an outline of what I have so far:</p> <pre class="language-python"><code>from qtpy.QtCore import Qt, QEasingCurve, QPropertyAnimation, QSize, Property, QPoint, QEnum from qtpy.QtWidgets import QCheckBox, QApplication, QLabel from enum import Enum class EasingCurveEnum(Enum): Option1 = 0 Option2 = 1 Option3 = 2 class QCustomCheckBox(QCheckBox): def __init__(self, parent=None): super().__init__(parent) self._easing_curve = EasingCurveEnum.Option1 # ... @Property(EasingCurveEnum, designable=True) def animationEasingCurve(self): return self._easing_curve @animationEasingCurve.setter def animationEasingCurve(self, curve): self._easing_curve = curve</code></pre> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>How can I make the EasingCurveEnum property appear as a list of options in the Qt Designer property editor?</p> <p>**I've successfully registered my custom widget in Qt Designer, but the enum list property is not appearing.**</p> <p>Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>**UPDATE:**</p> <p>Tried this, it didn't work:</p> <pre class="language-python"><code>@QEnum class EasingCurveEnum(Enum): .... </code></pre> <p>I also tried this, did not work either:</p> <pre class="language-python"><code>class EasingCurveEnum(Enum): Option1 = 0 Option2 = 1 Option3 = 2 class QCustomCheckBox(QCheckBox): def __init__(self, parent=None): super().__init__(parent) #tried..... QEnum(EasingCurveEnum) self._easing_curve = EasingCurveEnum.Option1 # ... @Property(EasingCurveEnum, designable=True) def animationEasingCurve(self): return self._easing_curve @animationEasingCurve.setter def animationEasingCurve(self, curve): self._easing_curve = curve</code></pre> </div></div>
