PyQt5 QListWidget – Setting Word Wrap

In this article we will see how we can word wrap property of the QListWidget. QListWidget is a convenience class that provides a list view with a classic item-based interface for adding and removing items. QListWidget uses an internal model to manage each QListWidgetItem in the list. This property holds the item text word-wrapping policy. If this property is true then the item text is wrapped where necessary at word-breaks; otherwise it is not wrapped at all. This property is false by default.

In order to do this we will use setWordWrap method with the list widget object. Syntax : list_widget.setWordWrap(True) Argument : It takes bool as argument Return : It returns None

Below is the implementation 

Python3

# 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, 500, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()



    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a QListWidget
        list_widget = QListWidget(self)

        # setting geometry to it
        list_widget.setGeometry(50, 70, 150, 60)

        # list widget items
        item1 = QListWidgetItem("PyQt5 Geeks for Geeks")
        item2 = QListWidgetItem("B")
        item3 = QListWidgetItem("C")

        # adding items to the list widget
        list_widget.addItem(item1)
        list_widget.addItem(item2)
        list_widget.addItem(item3)

        # setting wordwrap property
        list_widget.setWordWrap(True)

        # creating a label
        label = QLabel("GeeksforGeeks", self)

        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(230, 80, 280, 80)

        # making label multi line
        label.setWordWrap(True)


# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
