In this article we will see how we can set the mask to the QCalendarWidget. Mask are basically used to hide the calendar, with the help of mask user will not be able to see the whole calendar although the calendar will still exist but there will be mask on it.
It causes only the pixels of the calendar for which bitmap has a corresponding 1 bit to be visible. If the region includes pixels outside the rectangle of the calendar, window system controls in that area may or may not be visible, depending on the platform.
In order to do this we will use
setMaskmethod with the QCalendarWidget object.Syntax : calendar.setMask(region)
Argument : It takes QRegion object or QBitMap object as argument
Return : It return 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 # QCalendarWidget Class class 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 QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # setting geometry to the calendar self.calendar.setGeometry(20, 20, 300, 240) # QRect object rect = QRect(10, 10, 200, 100) # creating a QRegion region = QRegion(rect) # setting mask to the calendar self.calendar.setMask(region) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
