In this article we will see how we can set the maximum width to the QCalendarWidget. Maximum width of the calendar is that width after which it can’t be extended any further, by default when we create a calendar inside the layout and when the window get extended calendar size also increases therefore there is need to set the maximum width.
In order to do this we will use setMaximumWidth method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.setMaximumWidth(500)
Argument : It takes integer as argument
Return : It return None
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sys# QCalendarWidget Classclass Calendar(QCalendarWidget): # constructor def __init__(self, parent = None): super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent) self.setMouseTracking(True)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 layout layout = QVBoxLayout() # creating a QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # adding calendar to the layout layout.addWidget(self.calendar) # setting maximum width of the calendar self.calendar.setMaximumWidth(500) # setting layout widget = QWidget() widget.setLayout(layout) self.setCentralWidget(widget)# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
When window get stretched
