如何获取Qt小部件类型

Question

a = QtGui.QLineEdit()   

Is there a way to query what Qt widget the variable a is? It appears some Qt widgets would be supplied with .uiType attribute. But some (like layouts) are not.

Answer 1

You can get the type of any object in Python using the type built-in :

print type(a)

You may also be interested in the __name__ and __class__ attributes, which will hold data corresponding to the widget's name and class:

type(a).__name__ # Returns class name as a string
a.__class__      # Same as type(a)

Note however that if you need to perform a typecheck , you should use isinstance :

isinstance(a, type_to_test_for)

This will take into account inheritance.

Answer 2

Have you tried a.metaObject().className() ?

See the QObject documentation for more info.
