In this article, we will see how we can find the children of QCalendarWidget using the type of the child/children. Calendar is not a stand alone widget it consists of small widgets that are called child for example the dates and spin box for year and drop down menu for the month collectively make the calendar. We can find the child using type with the help of findChild method but this method only return single widget therefore if there is more than one child with similar type then problem occurs.
In order to do this we will use findChildren method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.findChildren(type)
Argument : It takes type of the child argument
Return : It return list
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sysclass 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 self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self) # setting geometry to the calendar self.calendar.setGeometry(50, 10, 400, 250) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # creating label to show the properties self.label = QLabel(self) # setting geometry to the label self.label.setGeometry(100, 280, 250, 60) # making label multi line self.label.setWordWrap(True) # getting children through type value = self.calendar.findChildren(QWidget) # setting text to the label self.label.setText("Children :" + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
