In this article, we will see how we can set the horizontal header format of the QCalendarWidget. The horizontal header is the place in QCalendarWidget which shows the days name by default short form of days is shown for example Monday is displayed as Mon, below is the horizontal header representation.
There are many formats available for the horizontal header like SingleLetterDayNames, its value is 1 and this format displays only the first letter of the day’s name, ShortDayNames, it is the default format, its value is 2 and this format displays only the short form of the day’s name. And LongDayNames its value is 3 and this format displays the whole name of the days.
In order to do this we use setHorizontalHeaderFormat method with the QCalendarWidget object
Syntax : calendar.setHorizontalHeaderFormat(format)
Argument : It takes Horizontal Header format as argument
Return : It returns None
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, 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(50, 50, 400, 250) # setting calendar horizontal header format calendar.setHorizontalHeaderFormat(QCalendarWidget.LongDayNames)# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
