In this article we will see how we can grab the mouse input for the QCalendarWidget. By grabbing mouse the calendar will not be affected, except that it doesn’t receive any mouse events. setFocus
moves the focus as usual, but the new focus widget receives mouse events only after releaseMouse
is called.
In order to do this we will use
grabMouse
method with the QCalendarWidget object.Syntax : calendar.grabMouse()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return None
Note: Only visible calendar can grab mouse input. If isVisible() returns false for a calendar then it cannot call grabMouse().
Below is the implementation
Python3
# 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 , 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) # grabbing mouse input self .calendar.grabMouse() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
Output :
Mouse is not working on the calendar, but keyboard is working
