In this article we will see how we can implement the move event of QCalendarWidget. This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive calendar move events which are passed in the event parameter. When the calendar receives this event, it is already at the new position.
Below is the code for the Calendar class
# QCalendarWidget Class
class Calendar(QCalendarWidget):
# constructor
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent)
self.setMouseTracking(True)
# override the move event
def moveEvent(self, event):
print("Calendar Moved")
Implementation steps:
1. Create a Calendar class that inherits the QCalendarWidget
2. Inside the Calendar class override the moveEvent and inside the event print the text
3. Create a main window class
4. Create a Calendar object inside the main window
5. Set various properties to the calendar
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import * import sys # QCalendarWidget Class class Calendar(QCalendarWidget): # constructor def __init__(self, parent = None): super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent) self.setMouseTracking(True) # override the move event def moveEvent(self, event): print("Calendar Moved") 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 QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # setting size of the calendar self.calendar.resize(300, 240) # move the calendar self.calendar.move(10, 10) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
Calendar Move
