In this article, we will see how we can get the date text format to the specific date in the QCalendarWidget. Setting the date text format makes the specified date looks more special such as increasing the size and other features. Below is how a date with date text format looks like.
In order to do this we will use dateTextFormat method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.dateTextFormat()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return dictionary where keys are QDate object and values are QTextCharFormat 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 , 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)
# format
format = QTextCharFormat()
format .setFont(QFont( 'Times' , 15 ))
# date
date = QDate( 2020 , 6 , 10 )
# setting date text format
self .calendar.setDateTextFormat(date, format )
# creating a label
label = QLabel( self )
# setting geometry
label.setGeometry( 50 , 280 , 420 , 120 )
# making it multi line
label.setWordWrap( True )
# checking date text format
value = self .calendar.dateTextFormat()
# setting text to the label
label.setText( "Date Text format: " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
