In this article we will see how we can set the selected date of QCalendarWidget, selected date is the date that is currently highlighted user can change the selected date using the mouse and cursor by default selected date is the real-time date although we can set the selected date any time.
Note: The selected date must be within the date range specified by the minimumDate and maximumDate properties.
 

In order to do this we will use setSelectedDate method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.setSelectedDate(date)
Argument : It takes QDate object as argument
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)
 
        # date
        date = QDate(2021, 1, 1)
 
        # setting selected date
        calendar.setSelectedDate(date)
 
 
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
 
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())


Output :
