PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Setting accept drops property

In this article we will see how we can set the accept drop property of the QCalendarWidget. We know we can make drag enabled using setDragEnabled method with calendar object, but what is the use of dragging the text we can’t drop it anywhere. Allowing accept drop means that calendar has a property now to accept the drop text of the other calendar widget. Accepting drops is used for setting year as it is the spin box object as child.

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

Syntax : calendar.setAcceptDrops(True)

Argument : It takes bool as argument

Action Performed : 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, 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)

        # accepting drops
        calendar.setAcceptDrops(True)


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

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

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

Output :
