In this article we will see how we can get the maximum size of the QCalendarWidget. Maximum size of the calendar is that size after which it can’t be expanded any further, by default when we create a calendar inside the layout and when the window get extended or shrinks calendar size also increases and shrinks, therefore, there is need to set the maximum size. We can individually set maximum width and height with the help of setMaximumWidth and setMaximumHeight method respectively. We can set the maximum size to the calendar with the help of setMaximumSize method.
In order to do this we will use maximumSize method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.maximumSize(size)
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return QSize object
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sys# QCalendarWidget Classclass Calendar(QCalendarWidget): # constructor def __init__(self, parent = None): super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent) self.setMouseTracking(True)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 layout layout = QVBoxLayout() # creating a QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # adding calendar to the layout layout.addWidget(self.calendar) # setting maximum size self.calendar.setMaximumSize(QSize(500, 400)) # creating a label label = QLabel(self) # adding label to the layout layout.addWidget(label) # getting maximum size value = self.calendar.maximumSize() # setting text to the label label.setText("Maximum Size : " + str(value)) # setting layout widget = QWidget() widget.setLayout(layout) self.setCentralWidget(widget)# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
