In this article, we will see how we get the background role of the QCalendarWidget. Background role defines the brush from the calendar’s palette that is used to render the background. If no explicit background role is set, the calendar inherits its parent widget’s background role. In order to set the background role, we use setBackgroundRole method.
In order to do this we will use backgroundRole method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.backgroundRole()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return QPalette.ColorRole object but when printed its shows its associated value
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 self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self) # setting geometry to the calendar self.calendar.setGeometry(50, 10, 400, 250) # enabling auto fill background self.calendar.setAutoFillBackground(True) # setting background role self.calendar.setBackgroundRole(QPalette.Base) # getting palette and setting color to the background to it p = self.calendar.palette() p.setColor(self.calendar.backgroundRole(), Qt.yellow) self.calendar.setPalette(p) # creating a label label = QLabel(self) # setting geometry label.setGeometry(120, 280, 200, 60) # making it multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # getting the background role value = self.calendar.backgroundRole() # setting text to the label label.setText("Background Role : " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
