In this article we will see how we can set the layout to the QCalendarWidget. In order to do this we use setLayout
method, if there already is a layout manager installed on the calendar, QWidget won’t let us install another. We must first delete or update the the existing layout manager (returned by layout()
) before we can call setLayout()
with the new layout.
In order to do this we will use
setLayout
method with the QCalendarWidget object.Syntax : calendar.setLayout(layout)
Argument : It takes QLayout object as argument
Return : It return None
Implementation Steps :
1. Create a main window
2. Create a calendar widget and set geometry to it
3. Get the layout of the calendar
4. Create a label and set its properties
5. Add this label to the layout using addWidget method
6. Set this layout back to the calendar
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 , 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 calender self .calendar.setGeometry( 50 , 10 , 400 , 300 ) # setting cursor self .calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # getting the current lay out layout = self .calendar.layout() # creating a label label = QLabel( "GeeksforGeeks" , self ) # setting alignment label.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter) # setting style sheet to the label label.setStyleSheet( "QLabel" "{" "border : 1px solid darkgrey;" "background : lightgrey;" "}" ) # adding label to the layout layout.addWidget(label) # setting layout back to calendar self .calendar.setLayout(layout) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
