Is it possible to give tool tip every QComboBox item in QtDesigner? Instead of using set item data?

What's the best approach to mimic the Windows Explorer navigation bar in PyQt?. Perhaps a list of QComboBoxes as part of a parent class that concatenates the current item of each combo box to resolve the final path?
Is it possible to get a similar look by using stylesheets?
This is the object I need to mimic. I just want a theoretical approach about the best way to mimic it.
Thanks in advance
This is technically known as a breadcrumb widget.
There are multiple approaches to this. The closest emulation to Windows Explorer's behavior--leaving out the normally hidden line editor--involves a chain of widgets like so:
A top level parent QWidget-derived class with your implementation, which would have:
A QHBoxLayout
An arbitrary number of QComboBoxes
A QFileSystemModel from which to populate the combo boxes.
Alternatives
You could use a single QLabels with a series of hyperlinks divided by path separators if you don't care about drop-down behavior. Qt Creator does this.
If your data source is static and not as gigantic as the filesystem, you could use QToolButtons backed by a tree of QAction/QMenus. This is possibly a masochistic approach, given that you have to populate all of the actions and menus. Since that's what they are there for, though, it might be handy as part of a context-sensitive menubar or tab bar.
I was looking for such a widget too without any luck. So I've tried to implement this by myself. It's not finished yet and needs some more work, but here's the first result: breadcrumbsaddressbar.
It's based on QToolButton widgets with menu. Parts of address which don't fit are hidden like in Windows Explorer. Also the widget has auto-completion feature.
Update: there's also a C++ widget QtAddressBar which I have't tried.
I hope someone can help me out with this.
I have a pyqtgraph context menu and want to add my own Z-Axis. I can create a qlineedit widget but I am not able to create multiple widget on the same line in the context menu as show below (e.g. radio button and 2 text boxes on same line)
As a minimum I would like to achieve:-
Z Axis -> [input value], string, [input value]
I've had a look in qmenu but couldn't find what I needed. Anyone know how to achieve this.
Also if anyone knows how to change the size of the X Axis qlineedit boxes and make them bigger it would be great as they are a bit squashed as you can see.
Someone on a different forum was able to help me with the answer so I thought I would also post it here for future users.
What you have to do is go into the site-packages for python and find pyqtgraph/graphicsItems/ViewBox/. In there are several files called
axisCtrlTemplate_*.py
A couple of lines down in the ui_form is the following line which you just need to increase the width (e.g. 450)
Form.setMaximumSize(QtCore.QSize(450, 16777215))
Hey presto fixed.
Also in the same location is a file called
ViewBoxMenu.py
you can see how the context menu is written here and I will use this information to create my min and max values which are created in a ui (qtdesigner) and then added to the menu
I am currently using isotope to organize my portfolio. I found that if I decided to place elements inside an isotope item and make these elements' position as fixed, they will not displace fixed on screen. Instead, these elements will use the isotope item's x and y position as the initial screen position. For instance, if I place an element as position:fixed and left:0; top:0; this element will not display on the top left corner of the screen. Instead, it will display on the top left corner of the isotope item.
Another issue I encounter is that the z-index of the element inside of the isotope item is not independent. If I give the element a greater z-index than other isotope items, say if the element has the z-index of 100, and all isotope items have the z-index of 10, the "portfolio_display" will still display behind all isotope items.
To explain what I am trying to achieve:
I want to make the isotope items become clickable, and when it is being activated, a full screen portfolio display will show up and take over the screen.
I do know plugin such as lightbox 2 will work. However, I like to have my portfolio display have much richer functions than lightbox 2. I want to put case study, images, videos, in the full screen mode, and each screen can be format like web page. So my method is to put multiple formatted divs into an isotope item, and use javescript (written by myself) to control their visibility and scrolling. This method works until I started integrate isotope to my portfolio.
I imagine isotope created a little "web page" inside of the bigger "web page" so it dictates the z-index and the position inside of its own. I like to know if I can disable isotope's dictation to its sub elements without breaking its great functionality.
Thank you.
For your full-window display purposes, you can change the modal overlay technique in this demo to your purposes. No plugin needed, you can put whatever you want to show in there, not just use it as an easy self-made modal.
New to Orchard. I have been looking for some documentation on how the menus actually work. It appears that you can have hierarchical menus, but I cannot find any good information on this.
It took me a while to figure this out too. You can see how to create a navigational menu in this video (around 8:45, but i'd recommend watching the entire video).
Basically, you need to drag & drop an item below and to the right of another content item in order to make a nested menu item.
Yes, you can. Since 1.5 you can create hierarchical menus from Navigation admin screen. Hierarchy (and reordering) of items can easily be created by drag & drop.
Navigation screen is used to define your menus. In order to display a defined menu you need to put Menu Widget in the zone of your choice. When you create that widget you need to choose which menu is it going to display. Besides the choice of the menu, you can also choose some other optional parameters if you need to customize the display more (eg. display only certain level).
I have 5 Lists in my Form. They are hidden and when I show one of them, the focus go inside the List and the Form doesn't scroll. I want to show all the List, navigate across it and keep my Formscrolling showing that List.Is there any way to make a Listno scrollable?
EDIT/CLARIFICATION
I show a Form with a Button. When I press this Button a List is showed under the Button. When the focus enter inside the List, the Liststarts to scroll, but the Formdoesn't, and I can't see the other elements. What I want is...a List no scrollable and a Formscrollable that let me see the rest of the List.

In the photo, you can see, the CheckBoxes are in the List. This List has a scrollbar but is his scrollbar not from the Form.
There is no way to make a list none scrollable but that shouldn't matter. If your form is scrollable and uses the correct layout (e.g. BoxLayout Y), then everything should just work (assuming you revalidate after adding a new list).
Personally I would use Components/Containers rather than lists for a design as elaborate as this. They provide lots of advantages over lists such as more refined focus/touch behavior.
