In this article we will see how we can set the selected date of QCalendarWidget, selected date is the date that is currently highlighted user can change the selected date using the mouse and cursor by default selected date is the real-time date although we can set the selected date any time.
Note: The selected date must be within the date range specified by the minimumDate and maximumDate properties.
In order to do this we will use setSelectedDate method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.setSelectedDate(date)
Argument : It takes QDate object as argument
Return : It returns None
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 class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__( self ): super ().__init__() # setting title self .setWindowTitle( "Python " ) # setting geometry self .setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 600 , 400 ) # calling method self .UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self .show() # method for components def UiComponents( self ): # creating a QCalendarWidget object calendar = QCalendarWidget( self ) # setting geometry to the calendar calendar.setGeometry( 10 , 10 , 400 , 250 ) # date date = QDate( 2021 , 1 , 1 ) # setting selected date calendar.setSelectedDate(date) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
Output :
