In this article, we will see how we can get the minimum date of the QCalendarWidget. The minimum date of QCalendarWidget restricts the user selection below the minimum date, i.e. the user can only select dates greater than the specified minimum date. Dates below the minimum date gets disabled. We use setMinimumDate method to set the maximum date.
In order to do this we will use minimumDate method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.minimumDate()
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 )
# lower bound date
l_date = QDate( 2020 , 6 , 5 )
# setting minimum date
calendar.setMinimumDate(l_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 minimum date
value = calendar.minimumDate()
# setting text to the label
label.setText( "Minimum 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 ())
