PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Setting its Layout
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
setLayoutmethod 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 librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom 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 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window() # start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
