In this article, we will see how we can show today’s date in the QCalendarWidget to the screen. Showing today’s date means to show the present date i.e day month and year irrespective of the selected date or at which page the calendar is currently. By default, the calendar shows the today’s date.
In order to do this we will use showToday method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.showToday()
Argument : It takes no 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 )
# creating push button
push = QPushButton( "Today" , self )
# setting geometry to the push
push.setGeometry( 120 , 280 , 100 , 40 )
# adding action to the push
push.clicked.connect( lambda : do_action())
def do_action():
# showing the today's date
calendar.showToday()
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
