In this article we will see how we can get QDateTime object of the QDateTimeEdit widget. QDateTime is basically a combination of QDate and QTime i.e it has both date and time. And QDateTimeEdit widget is used to show or receive the QDateTime. We can set QDateTime to it with the help of setDateTime method.
In order to do this we will use dateTime method with the QDateTimeEdit object.
Syntax : datetimeedit.dateTime()
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 QDateTimeEdit widget datetimeedit = QDateTimeEdit(self) # setting geometry datetimeedit.setGeometry(100, 100, 150, 35) # QDateTime dt = QDateTime(2020, 10, 10, 21, 30) # setting date time to datetimeedit datetimeedit.setDateTime(dt) # creating a label label = QLabel("Lazyroar", self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 160, 200, 60) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # getting current datetime value = datetimeedit.dateTime() # setting text to label label.setText("DateTime : " + str(value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
