from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QTextBrowser

from pyqt_find_path_widget import FindPathWidget





class FindPathWidgetExample(QWidget):

    def __init__(self):

        super().__init__()

        self.__initUi()



    def __initUi(self):

        findPathWidget = FindPathWidget()

        findPathWidget.setExtOfFiles('Text Files (*.txt)') # Restrict file's extension to find



        findPathWidget.findClicked.connect(self.__findClicked) # Signal will be emitted when find button clicks

        findPathWidget.added.connect(self.__added) # Signal will be emitted when file's name is set in the QLineEdit



        self.__textBrowser = QTextBrowser() # Widget to show text file's content

        self.__textBrowser.setStyleSheet('QTextBrowser '

                                          '{'

                                          'color: #DDD;'

                                          'background-color: #444;'

                                          'border: 1px solid #222;'

                                          '}') # To match the style with FindPathWidget



        self.setStyleSheet('QWidget { background-color: #666; }') # To match the style with FindPathWidget



        lay = QVBoxLayout()

        lay.addWidget(findPathWidget)

        lay.addWidget(self.__textBrowser)



        self.setLayout(lay)



    def __findClicked(self):

        print('find clicked')



    def __added(self, filename):

        f = open(filename, 'r')

        text = f.read()

        f.close()

        self.__textBrowser.setText(text)





if __name__ == "__main__":

    import sys



    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    searchMultiple = FindPathWidgetExample()

    searchMultiple.show()

    app.exec_()

Result

Mouse cursor should be next to that tooltip. Windows screenshot feature doesn't show the mouse cursor.
