In this article we will see how we can get the maximum size of the QCalendarWidget. Maximum size of the calendar is that size after which it can’t be expanded any further, by default when we create a calendar inside the layout and when the window get extended or shrinks calendar size also increases and shrinks, therefore, there is need to set the maximum size. We can individually set maximum width and height with the help of setMaximumWidth and setMaximumHeight method respectively. We can set the maximum size to the calendar with the help of setMaximumSize method.
In order to do this we will use maximumSize method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.maximumSize(size)
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return QSize 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
# QCalendarWidget Class class Calendar(QCalendarWidget):
# constructor
def __init__( self , parent = None ):
super (Calendar, self ).__init__(parent)
self .setMouseTracking( True )
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__( self ):
super ().__init__()
# setting title
self .setWindowTitle("Python ")
# setting geometry
self .setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 500 , 400 )
# calling method
self .UiComponents()
# showing all the widgets
self .show()
# method for components
def UiComponents( self ):
# creating a layout
layout = QVBoxLayout()
# creating a QCalendarWidget object
# as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget
self .calendar = Calendar( self )
# setting cursor
self .calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)
# adding calendar to the layout
layout.addWidget( self .calendar)
# setting maximum size
self .calendar.setMaximumSize(QSize( 500 , 400 ))
# creating a label
label = QLabel( self )
# adding label to the layout
layout.addWidget(label)
# getting maximum size
value = self .calendar.maximumSize()
# setting text to the label
label.setText("Maximum Size : " + str (value))
# setting layout
widget = QWidget()
widget.setLayout(layout)
self .setCentralWidget(widget)
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
