PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Grab Gesture Property

In this article we will see how we can set grab gesture to the QCalendarWidget. There various grab gestures available for the calendar like tap gesture, a Tap-And-Hold (Long-Tap) gesture, a Pan gesture, a Pinch gesture, a Swipe gesture and a custom gesture.

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

Syntax : calendar.grabGesture(Qt.TapGesture)

Argument : It takes gesture flag as argument

Return : It return None

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, 650, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a QCalendarWidget object
        self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self)

        # setting geometry to the calendar
        self.calendar.setGeometry(50, 10, 400, 250)

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

        # setting grab gesture
        self.calendar.grabGesture(Qt.TapGesture)

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

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

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

Output :
