In this article we will see how we can get the direction of the date edit. By default when we create a date edit arrow buttons are at the right side although we can change it, by changing the layout direction with the help of setLayoutDirection method.
In order to do this we use layoutDirection method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.layoutDirection()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns Direction object but when printed it shows the associated value with it
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import * import sys 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 QDateEdit widget date = QDateEdit(self) # setting geometry of the date edit date.setGeometry(100, 100, 200, 40) # alignment a_flag = Qt.AlignCenter # setting alignment of date date.setAlignment(a_flag) # setting layout direction date.setLayoutDirection(Qt.RightToLeft) # creating a label label = QLabel("neveropen", self) # setting geometry label.setGeometry(100, 150, 250, 60) # making label multiline label.setWordWrap(True) # getting direction value = date.layoutDirection() # setting text to the label label.setText("Direction : " + str(value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
