PyQt5 QDateEdit – Getting Maximum Date Time which can be set

In this article we will see how we can get maximum date-time of the QDateEdit. Sometimes there is a need to set maximum date time so that user can’t enter date time which are beyond the maximum date time. We can set date time to date edit with the help of setDateTime method. Maximum date-time can be set with the help of setMaximumDateTime method.

In order to do this we use maximumDateTime method with the QDateEdit object

Syntax : date.maximumDateTime()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns QDateTime object

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
  
  
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 QDateEdit widget
        date = QDateEdit(self)
  
        # setting geometry of the date edit
        date.setGeometry(100, 100, 200, 40)
  
        # alignment
        a_flag = Qt.AlignCenter
  
        # setting alignment of date
        date.setAlignment(a_flag)
  
        # QDate object
        d = QDateTime(2020, 1, 1, 10, 30)
  
        # setting maximum date time
        date.setMaximumDateTime(d)
  
        # text
        text = "Geek date edit"
  
        # setting name
        date.setAccessibleName(text)
  
        # creating a label
        label = QLabel("neveropen", self)
  
        # setting geometry
        label.setGeometry(100, 150, 200, 60)
  
        # making label multiline
        label.setWordWrap(True)
  
        # getting maximum date time
        value = date.maximumDateTime()
  
        # setting text to the label
        label.setText("Max Date Time : " + str(value))
  
  
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
  
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
  
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
