In this article, we will see how we can get the foreground role of the QCalendarWidget. There are basically two types of roles in the calendar one is foreground and the other one is background. The foreground role defines the color from the calendar’s palette that is used to draw the foreground. If no explicit foreground role is set, the foreground returns a role that contrasts with the background role. We can set the foreground role with the help of setForegroundRole method.
In order to do this we will use foregroundRole method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.foregroundRole()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return QPalette.ColorRole object but when printed it shows the value associated with the role
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)
# setting foreground role
self .calendar.setForegroundRole(QPalette.Base)
# getting palette and setting color to the background to it
p = self .calendar.palette()
p.setColor( self .calendar.foregroundRole(), Qt.darkGray)
self .calendar.setPalette(p)
# 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 foreground role
value = self .calendar.foregroundRole()
# setting text to the label
self .label.setText( "Fore ground 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 ())
