In this article we will see how we can implement the mouse press event for the QCalendarWidget. This event handler, for event, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse press events for the calendar. The default implementation implements the closing of popup widgets when you click outside the window. For other widget types it does nothing.
Below is the Calendar class code
# QCalendarWidget Class
class Calendar(QCalendarWidget):
# constructor
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent)
# overriding the mousePressEvent method
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
print("Mouse Press Event")
Implementation steps:
1. Create a Calendar class that inherits the QCalendarWidget
2. Inside the Calendar class override the mousePressEvent and inside the event print the text
3. Create a main window class
4. Create a Calendar object inside the main window
5. Set various properties to the calendar
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 mousePressEvent method def mousePressEvent(self, event): print("Mouse Press Event") 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) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
Mouse Press Event Mouse Press Event Mouse Press Event Mouse Press Event Mouse Press Event
