In this article we will see how we can implement the mouse move event for the QCalendarWidget. This event handler, for event event, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse move events for the widget. If mouse tracking is switched off, mouse move events only occur if a mouse button is pressed while the mouse is being moved. If mouse tracking is switched on, mouse move events occur even if no mouse button is pressed.
Implementation steps:
1. Create a Calendar class that inherits the QCalendarWidget
2. Create alabel to show the updates
3. Override the mouseMoveEvent and set the position to the label
4. Create a Calendar object inside the main window
5. Set various properties to the calendar
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, 650, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # turing on the mouse tracking self.setMouseTracking(True) # setting geometry to the calendar self.calendar.setGeometry(50, 10, 250, 250) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # creating label to show the properties self.label = QLabel(self) # setting geometry to the label self.label.setGeometry(100, 280, 250, 60) # making label multi line self.label.setWordWrap(True) def mouseMoveEvent(self, event): self.label.setText('coords: ( % d : % d )' % (event.x(), event.y()))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
