In this article we will see how we can set display format of date to the QDateTimeEdit. Display format property holds the format used to display the time/date of the date time edit. By default, we see date in format like 01-01-2000 although by setting display format we can make this date as 1 Jan 2020.
In order to do this we will use setDisplayFormat method with the QDateTimeEdit object.
Syntax : datetimeedit.setDisplayFormat(format)
Argument : It takes string 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) # setting date format datetimeedit.setDisplayFormat("dd MMM yyyy") # creating a label label = QLabel("Lazyroar", self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 80) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
