In this article we will see how we can set the maximum size to the QCalendarWidget. Maximum size of the calendar is that size after which it can’t be expanded any further, by default when we create a calendar inside the layout and when the window get extended or shrinks calendar size also increases and shrinks, therefore, there is need to set the maximum size. We can individually set maximum width and height with the help of setMaximumWidth and setMaximumHeight method respectively.
In order to do this we will use
setMaximumSizemethod with the QCalendarWidget object.Syntax : calendar.setMaximumSize(size)
Argument : It takes QSize object as argument
Return : It return None
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 # QCalendarWidget Class class 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 tot he layout layout.addWidget(self.calendar) # setting maximum size self.calendar.setMaximumSize(QSize(500, 400)) # setting layout widget = QWidget() widget.setLayout(layout) self.setCentralWidget(widget) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
When we try to expand the window calendar size did not expand when maximum size reached
