In this article we will see how we can kill the timer of the QCalendarWidget. In order to start the timer we use startTimer method, this method calls the timerEvent after the certain interval is passed. It starts a timer and returns a timer identifier, or returns zero if it could not start a timer.
In order to do this we will use
killTimermethod with the QCalendarWidget object.Syntax : calendar.killTimer(timer_id)
Argument : It takes integer as argument i.e timer ID
Return : It return None
Implementation Steps : :
1. Create a Calendar class that inherits the QCalendarWidget
2. Inside the Calendar class override the timerEvent and inside the event show the next month of calendar
3. Create a main window class
4. Create a Calendar object inside the main window
5. Set various properties to the calendar
6. Create a push button
7. Add action to the push button, inside the action kill the timer
Below is the implementation
Python3
# 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) # overriding the timer event # this will show the next month def timerEvent(self, event): # show the next month window.calendar.showNextMonth() class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 650, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # setting geometry to the calendar self.calendar.setGeometry(50, 10, 400, 250) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # starting the calendar timer # passing 1000 milliseconds as parameter self.timer_id = self.calendar.startTimer(1000) # creating a push button push = QPushButton("Kill Timer", self) # setting geometry to the push button push.setGeometry(100, 280, 120, 40) # adding action to the push button push.clicked.connect(self.do_Action) def do_Action(self): # killing the timer self.calendar.killTimer(self.timer_id) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output:
