In this article we will see how we can get the selected date of QCalendarWidget, selected date is the date that is currently highlighted user can change the selected date using mouse and cursor by default selected date is the real-time date although we can set the selected date any time with the help of setSelectedDate method.
Note : The selected date must be within the date range specified by the minimumDate and maximumDate properties.
In order to do this we will use selectedDate method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.selectedDate(date)
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns QDate 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 , 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 )
# date
date = QDate( 2021 , 1 , 1 )
# setting selected date
calendar.setSelectedDate(date)
# creating label
label = QLabel( self )
# setting geometry to the label
label.setGeometry( 100 , 270 , 250 , 60 )
# making label multi line
label.setWordWrap( True )
# getting the selected date
value = calendar.selectedDate()
# setting text to the label
label.setText( "Selected 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 ())
