In this article we will see how we can set the minimum width of the QCalendarWidget. Minimum width of the calendar is that width after which it can’t be shrink any further, by default when we create a calendar inside the layout and when the window get extended or shrinks calendar size also increases and shrinks, therefore, there is need to set the minimum width.
In order to do this we will use setMinimumWidth method with the QCalendarWidget object. Syntax : calendar.setMinimumWidth(400) Argument : It takes integer as argument Return : It return None
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sys# QCalendarWidget Classclass Calendar(QCalendarWidget): # constructor def __init__(self, parent = None): super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent) self.setMouseTracking(True)class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a layout layout = QVBoxLayout() # creating a QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # adding calendar to the layout layout.addWidget(self.calendar) # setting minimum width of the calendar self.calendar.setMinimumWidth(400) # setting layout widget = QWidget() widget.setLayout(layout) self.setCentralWidget(widget)# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output : 
When we try to shrink it, it will not shrink anymore when minimum width was reached
