In this article we will see how we can set minimum date time to the QDateEdit. Sometimes there is a need to set minimum date time so that user can’t enter date time which are beyond the minimum date time. We can set date time to date edit with the help of setDateTime method.
In order to do this we use setMinimumDateTime method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.setMinimumDateTime(date_time)
Argument : It takes QDateTime object as argument
Return : It returns None
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 minimum date time date.setMinimumDateTime(d) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
