PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Hidden Property

In this article we will see how we can hide and un hide the QCalendarWidget using hidden property, hiding is exactly opposite of showing the QCalendarWidget. Calendar widget is a big widget therefore there is a need to hide it when user don’t need it. We can hide it using hide method but we can’t unhide it using the same method.

In order to do this we will use setHidden method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.setHidden(True)
Argument : It takes bool as argument i.e True for hiding and False for not hiding
Return : It returns 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, 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)

        # setting grid
        calendar.setGridVisible(True)

        # hiding the calendar using set hidden property
        calendar.setHidden(True)



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

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

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

Output :
