In this article, we will see how we get the background role of the QCalendarWidget. Background role defines the brush from the calendar’s palette that is used to render the background. If no explicit background role is set, the calendar inherits its parent widget’s background role. In order to set the background role, we use setBackgroundRole method.
In order to do this we will use backgroundRole method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.backgroundRole()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return QPalette.ColorRole object but when printed its shows its associated value
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 , 600 , 400 )
# calling method
self .UiComponents()
# showing all the widgets
self .show()
# method for components
def UiComponents( self ):
# creating a QCalendarWidget object
self .calendar = QCalendarWidget( self )
# setting geometry to the calendar
self .calendar.setGeometry( 50 , 10 , 400 , 250 )
# enabling auto fill background
self .calendar.setAutoFillBackground( True )
# setting background role
self .calendar.setBackgroundRole(QPalette.Base)
# getting palette and setting color to the background to it
p = self .calendar.palette()
p.setColor( self .calendar.backgroundRole(), Qt.yellow)
self .calendar.setPalette(p)
# creating a label
label = QLabel( self )
# setting geometry
label.setGeometry( 120 , 280 , 200 , 60 )
# making it multi line
label.setWordWrap( True )
# getting the background role
value = self .calendar.backgroundRole()
# setting text to the label
label.setText( "Background Role : " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
