In this article, we will see how we can find the children of QCalendarWidget using the type of the child/children. Calendar is not a stand alone widget it consists of small widgets that are called child for example the dates and spin box for year and drop down menu for the month collectively make the calendar. We can find the child using type with the help of findChild method but this method only return single widget therefore if there is more than one child with similar type then problem occurs.
In order to do this we will use findChildren method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.findChildren(type)
Argument : It takes type of the child argument
Return : It return list
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 , 650 , 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 )
# setting cursor
self .calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)
# creating label to show the properties
self .label = QLabel( self )
# setting geometry to the label
self .label.setGeometry( 100 , 280 , 250 , 60 )
# making label multi line
self .label.setWordWrap( True )
# getting children through type
value = self .calendar.findChildren(QWidget)
# setting text to the label
self .label.setText( "Children :" + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
