In this article we will see how we can get the selected date of QCalendarWidget, selected date is the date that is currently highlighted user can change the selected date using mouse and cursor by default selected date is the real-time date although we can set the selected date any time with the help of setSelectedDate method.
Note : The selected date must be within the date range specified by the minimumDate and maximumDate properties.
In order to do this we will use selectedDate method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.selectedDate(date)
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns 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) # date date = QDate(2021, 1, 1) # setting selected date calendar.setSelectedDate(date) # creating label label = QLabel(self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 270, 250, 60) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # getting the selected date value = calendar.selectedDate() # setting text to the label label.setText("Selected Date: " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
