In this article we will see how we can get the clicked signal from the QCalendarWidget. Clicked signal is emitted when a mouse button is clicked i.e when the mouse was clicked on the specified date. The signal is only emitted when clicked on a valid date, e.g., dates are not outside the minimum date and maximum date. If the selection mode is NoSelection, this signal will not be emitted.
In order to do this we will use clicked method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.clicked.connect(lambda: print(“Clicked”))
Argument : It takes method as argument
Action Performed : It will print the message whenever activated signal get emitted
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

import sys
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__( self ):
super ().__init__()
# setting title
self .setWindowTitle( "Python " )
# setting geometry
self .setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 600 , 400 )
# calling method
self .UiComponents()
# showing all the widgets
self .show()
# method for components
def UiComponents( self ):
# creating a QCalendarWidget object
calendar = QCalendarWidget( self )
# setting geometry to the calendar
calendar.setGeometry( 10 , 10 , 400 , 250 )
# creating a label
label = QLabel( self )
# setting geometry to the label
label.setGeometry( 100 , 280 , 250 , 60 )
# making label multi line
label.setWordWrap( True )
# text
text = "Clicked Signals received (No.) : "
# current count
self .count = 0
# getting the clicked signal and
# when receives the signal printing the message
calendar.clicked.connect( lambda : label.setText(text + str (get_count())))
# method to increase the count value
def get_count():
self .count + = 1
return self .count
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
