• Working with Qt Designer in PyQt5
• Create CheckBox in PyQt5 with Qt Designer
• PyQt5 Radiobutton in Qt Designer 

 

 

 

You need to open your Qt Designer in PyQt5, because we want to create tablewidget using Qt Designer,  you can just write pyqt5designer in your terminal, after opening the Qt Designer you need to create Widgets window. now we add widgets in Qt Designer.

 

• Add a QVBoxLayout in the Qt Designer 
• Add a QTableWidget item in the QVBoxLayout 

 

 

So now you can add rows, columns and also items in your QTableWidget. right click on the tablewidget and click on the Edit Items, and from there you can add columns. so these are our columns.

 

 

 

These are rows for qtablewidget.

 

 

 

 

These are items for the qtablewidget.

 

 

 

 

Also you can add styles for the QTableWidget by right clicking on the tablewidget and choosing Change Stylesheet.

 

 

 

And this is our design.

 

 

 

 

After completing the design you need to save your design, the extension will be .ui file. now it is time to convert our .ui file in to .py file. there are two ways that you can do, first way is loading the ui file, the second way is converting the .ui file to .py file, we want to use the second way. for converting of the ui file to python file we need to use pyuic5 module, this module is located in the Scripts folder of your python installation, you need to copy your ui file in the Scripts folder of your Python installation. after that open the terminal in the Scripts folder, and run this command.

 

 

 

And this is the converted code.

 

 

 

 

So now run the complete code and this is result.
