PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Setting Window Flags

In this article we will see how we can set the window flags of the QCalendarWidget. Window flags are a combination of a type (e.g. Qt::Dialog) and zero or more hints to the window system (e.g. Qt::FramelessWindowHint).If the calendar had type Qt::Widget or Qt::SubWindow and becomes a window (Qt::Window, Qt::Dialog, etc.), it is put at position (0, 0) on the desktop. If the widget is a window and becomes a Qt::Widget or Qt::SubWindow, it is put at position (0, 0) relative to its parent widget.

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

Syntax : calendar.setWindowFlags(flag)

Argument : It takes window flag object as argument

Return : It return None

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)



class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 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)

        # setting cursor
        self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)

        # setting size of the calendar
        self.calendar.resize(300, 240)

        # move the calendar
        self.calendar.move(10, 10)

        # setting windows flag
        self.calendar.setWindowFlags(Qt.SplashScreen)


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

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

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

Output :
