In this article we will see how we can select the section text in the QDateTimeEdit widget programmatically. There are many sections in the QDateTimeedit widget like, year, month, hour, minute section. User can select any section with the help of mouse or keyboard and increment and decrement action get performed on the current section.
In order to do this we will use setSelectedSection method with the QDateTimeEdit object.
Syntax : datetimeedit.setSelectedSection(section)
Argument : It takes section object as argument
Return : It returns 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 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 QDateTimeEdit widget datetimeedit = QDateTimeEdit(self) # setting geometry datetimeedit.setGeometry(100, 100, 150, 35) # creating a push button push = QPushButton("Press", self) # setting geometry to the push button push.setGeometry(120, 160, 120, 35) # when push button get clicked connect to the method push.clicked.connect(lambda: push_method()) def push_method(): # set the selected section datetimeedit.setSelectedSection(QDateTimeEdit.MonthSection) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
