Base classes

QgsWidgetWrapper

Manages an editor widget Widget and wrapper share the same parent

QObject

Subclasses

QgsCheckboxSearchWidgetWrapper

Wraps a checkbox edit widget for searching.

QgsDateTimeSearchWidgetWrapper

Wraps a date/time edit widget for searching.

QgsDefaultSearchWidgetWrapper

Wraps a search widget. Default form is just a QgsLineFilterEdit

QgsRelationAggregateSearchWidgetWrapper

Search widget for the children of a relation. For each attribute of the child, an additional QgsAggregateToolButton will be shown to determine how the values should be aggregated for searching.

QgsRelationReferenceSearchWidgetWrapper

Wraps a relation reference search widget.

QgsValueMapSearchWidgetWrapper

Wraps a value map search widget. This widget will offer a combobox with values from another layer referenced by a foreign key (a constraint may be set but is not required on data level). It will be used as a search widget and produces expression to look for in the layer.

QgsValueRelationSearchWidgetWrapper

Wraps a value relation search widget. This widget will offer a combobox with values from another layer referenced by a foreign key (a constraint may be set but is not required on data level). It will be used as a search widget and produces expression to look for in the layer.

class qgis.gui.QgsSearchWidgetWrapper[source]

Bases: QgsWidgetWrapper

__init__(vl: QgsVectorLayer | None, fieldIdx: int, parent: QWidget | None = None)

Create a new widget wrapper

Parameters:
  • vl (Optional[QgsVectorLayer]) – The layer on which the field is

  • fieldIdx (int) – The field which will be controlled

  • parent (Optional[QWidget] = None) – A parent widget for this widget wrapper and the created widget.

aggregate(self) str[source]

If in AggregateSearch mode, which aggregate should be used to construct the filter expression. Is a Null String if none.

Return type:

str

applyDirectly(self) bool[source]

If this is True, then this search widget should take effect directly when its expression changes

Return type:

bool

clearExpression(self)[source]

clears the expression to search for all features

clearWidget(self)[source]

Clears the widget’s current value and resets it back to the default state

createExpression(self, flags: QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlags | QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlag) str[source]

Creates a filter expression based on the current state of the search widget and the specified filter flags.

Parameters:

flags (Union[QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlags, QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlag]) – filter flags

Return type:

str

Returns:

filter expression

createFieldIdentifier(self) str[source]

Gets a field name or expression to use as field comparison. If in SearchMode returns a quoted field identifier. If in AggregateSearchMode returns an appropriate aggregate expression.

Return type:

str

defaultFlags(self) QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlags[source]

Returns the filter flags which should be set by default for the search widget.

supportedFlags()

Return type:

QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlags

static exclusiveFilterFlags() Any

Returns a list of exclusive filter flags, which cannot be combined with other flags (e.g., EqualTo/NotEqualTo)

Return type:

Any

expression(self) str[source]

Will be used to access the widget’s value. Read the value from the widget and return it properly formatted to be saved in the attribute.

If an invalid variant is returned this will be interpreted as no change. Be sure to return a NULL QVariant if it should be set to NULL.

Return type:

str

Returns:

The current value the widget represents

signal expressionChanged[source]

pyqtSignal(*types, name: str = …, revision: int = …, arguments: Sequence = …) -> PYQT_SIGNAL

types is normally a sequence of individual types. Each type is either a type object or a string that is the name of a C++ type. Alternatively each type could itself be a sequence of types each describing a different overloaded signal. name is the optional C++ name of the signal. If it is not specified then the name of the class attribute that is bound to the signal is used. revision is the optional revision of the signal that is exported to QML. If it is not specified then 0 is used. arguments is the optional sequence of the names of the signal’s arguments.

fieldIndex(self) int[source]

Returns the field index

Added in version 3.10.

Return type:

int

static nonExclusiveFilterFlags() Any

Returns a list of non-exclusive filter flags, which can be combined with other flags (e.g., CaseInsensitive)

Return type:

Any

setAggregate(self, aggregate: str | None)[source]

If in AggregateSearch mode, which aggregate should be used to construct the filter expression. Is a Null String if none.

Parameters:

aggregate (Optional[str])

setEnabled(self, enabled: bool)[source]

Toggles whether the search widget is enabled or disabled.

Parameters:

enabled (bool) – set to True to enable widget

setExpression(self, expression: str | None)[source]

Set the expression which is currently used as filter for this widget.

Parameters:

expression (Optional[str])

supportedFlags(self) QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlags[source]

Returns filter flags supported by the search widget.

defaultFlags()

Return type:

QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlags

static toString(flag: QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlag) str[source]

Returns a translated string representing a filter flag.

Parameters:

flag (QgsSearchWidgetWrapper.FilterFlag) – flag to convert to string

Return type:

str

signal valueChanged[source]

pyqtSignal(*types, name: str = …, revision: int = …, arguments: Sequence = …) -> PYQT_SIGNAL

types is normally a sequence of individual types. Each type is either a type object or a string that is the name of a C++ type. Alternatively each type could itself be a sequence of types each describing a different overloaded signal. name is the optional C++ name of the signal. If it is not specified then the name of the class attribute that is bound to the signal is used. revision is the optional revision of the signal that is exported to QML. If it is not specified then 0 is used. arguments is the optional sequence of the names of the signal’s arguments.
