PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Getting Maximum Date

In this article, we will see how we can get the maximum date of the QCalendarWidget. The maximum date of QCalendarWidget restricts the user selection above the maximum date, i.e. the user can only select dates lesser than the specified maximum date. Dates above the maximum date get disabled. We use setMaximumDate method to set the maximum date.

In order to do this we will use maximumDate method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.maximumDate()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return QDate object 

Below is the implementation  

Python3

# 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
        calendar = QCalendarWidget(self)

        # setting geometry to the calendar
        calendar.setGeometry(10, 10, 400, 250)

        # upper bound date
        u_date = QDate(2020, 6, 15)

        # setting maximum date
        calendar.setMaximumDate(u_date)

        # creating a label
        label = QLabel(self)

        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(100, 280, 250, 60)

        # making label multi line
        label.setWordWrap(True)

        # getting maximum date
        value = calendar.maximumDate()

        # setting text to the label
        label.setText("Maximum Date : " + str(value))


# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output:
