PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Getting Window Flags

In this article we will see how we can get the window flags of the QCalendarWidget. Window flags are a combination of a type (e.g. Qt::Dialog) and zero or more hints to the window system (e.g. Qt::FramelessWindowHint).If the calendar had type Qt::Widget or Qt::SubWindow and becomes a window (Qt::Window, Qt::Dialog, etc.), it is put at position (0, 0) on the desktop. If the widget is a window and becomes a Qt::Widget or Qt::SubWindow, it is put at position (0, 0) relative to its parent widget. We can set the window flag to the calendar with the help of setWindowFlags method.

In order to do this we will use windowFlags method with the QCalendarWidget object.

Syntax : calendar.windowFlags()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It return window flag 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)



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 QCalendarWidget object
        # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget
        self.calendar = Calendar(self)

        # setting cursor
        self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)

        # setting size of the calendar
        self.calendar.resize(300, 240)

        # move the calendar
        self.calendar.move(10, 10)

        # setting windows flag
        self.calendar.setWindowFlags(Qt.SplashScreen)

        # 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 window flag
        value = self.calendar.windowFlags()

        # setting text to the label
        label.setText("Window Flags : " + 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 :
