PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Making it active window

In this article we will see how we can make the QCalendarWidget an active window. An active window is a visible top-level window that has the keyboard input focus. Making it active window will sets the top-level widget containing this calendar to be the active window. 

Note : The window must be visible, otherwise activateWindow() has no effect.

In order to do this we will use activateWindow method with the QCalendarWidget object. 

Syntax : calendar.activateWindow() 

Argument : It takes no argument 

Action Performed : It return None

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, 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)
 
        # setting name
        calendar.setAccessibleName("Geek Calendar")
 
        # making it an active window
        calendar.activateWindow()
         
 
        
 
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
 
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
