In this article we will see how we can ungrab i.e release the keyboard input for the QCalendarWidget. By grabbing keyboard the calendar will not be affected, except that it doesn’t receive any keyboard events. setFocus moves the focus as usual, but the new focus widget receives keyboard events only after releaseKeyboard is called. Grabbing can be done with the help of grabKeyboard method.
In order to do this we will use
releaseKeyboardmethod with the QCalendarWidget object.Syntax : calendar.releaseKeyboard()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : 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, 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 keyboard input self.calendar.grabKeyboard() # creating a push button push = QPushButton("Release Keyboard", self) # setting geometry tot he push button push.setGeometry(100, 280, 150, 40) # adding action to the push button push.clicked.connect(self.do_action) def do_action(self): # releasing the keyboard self.calendar.releaseKeyboard() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
Initially keyboard input was not working but when release method called it start working
