In this article we will see how we can implement the mouse move event for the QCalendarWidget. This event handler, for event event, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse move events for the widget. If mouse tracking is switched off, mouse move events only occur if a mouse button is pressed while the mouse is being moved. If mouse tracking is switched on, mouse move events occur even if no mouse button is pressed.
Implementation steps:
1. Create a Calendar class that inherits the QCalendarWidget
2. Create alabel to show the updates
3. Override the mouseMoveEvent and set the position to the label
4. Create a Calendar object inside the main window
5. Set various properties 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
# QCalendarWidget Class class Calendar(QCalendarWidget):
# constructor
def __init__( self , parent = None ):
super (Calendar, self ).__init__(parent)
self .setMouseTracking( True )
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
# as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget
self .calendar = Calendar( self )
# turing on the mouse tracking
self .setMouseTracking( True )
# setting geometry to the calendar
self .calendar.setGeometry( 50 , 10 , 250 , 250 )
# setting cursor
self .calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)
# creating label to show the properties
self .label = QLabel( self )
# setting geometry to the label
self .label.setGeometry( 100 , 280 , 250 , 60 )
# making label multi line
self .label.setWordWrap( True )
def mouseMoveEvent( self , event):
self .label.setText( 'coords: ( % d : % d )' % (event.x(), event.y()))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
