In this article, we will see how we can get the minimum date of the QCalendarWidget. The minimum date of QCalendarWidget restricts the user selection below the minimum date, i.e. the user can only select dates greater than the specified minimum date. Dates below the minimum date gets disabled. We use setMinimumDate method to set the maximum date.
In order to do this we will use minimumDate method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.minimumDate()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return QDate object
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(10, 10, 400, 250) # lower bound date l_date = QDate(2020, 6, 5) # setting minimum date calendar.setMinimumDate(l_date) # creating a label label = QLabel(self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 280, 250, 60) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # getting minimum date value = calendar.minimumDate() # setting text to the label label.setText("Minimum Date : " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
