In this article we will see how we can get the correction mode to the QDateEdit. In date edit correction is very important so that user can’t enter invalid date for example if user try to enter the month value greater than 12 the current value goes back the previous valid value. In order to set the correction mode we use setCorrectionMode method, there are basically two correction modes for date edit given below
CorrectToPreviousValue : The date edit will revert to the last valid value its associated value is 0
CorrectToNearestValue : The date edit will revert to the nearest valid value, its associated value is 1 In order to do this we use correctionMode method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.correctionMode()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns correction mode object but when printed it shows the value associated with it
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sysclass 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 QDateEdit widget date = QDateEdit(self) # setting geometry of the date edit date.setGeometry(100, 100, 150, 40) # setting correction mode date.setCorrectionMode(0) # creating a label label = QLabel("neveropen", self) # setting geometry label.setGeometry(100, 150, 200, 60) # making label multiline label.setWordWrap(True) # getting correction mode value = date.correctionMode() # setting text to the label label.setText("Correction Mode : " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
