In this article we will see how we can get the correction mode to the QDateEdit. In date edit correction is very important so that user can’t enter invalid date for example if user try to enter the month value greater than 12 the current value goes back the previous valid value. In order to set the correction mode we use setCorrectionMode method, there are basically two correction modes for date edit given below
CorrectToPreviousValue : The date edit will revert to the last valid value its associated value is 0
CorrectToNearestValue : The date edit will revert to the nearest valid value, its associated value is 1 In order to do this we use correctionMode method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.correctionMode()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns correction mode object but when printed it shows the value associated with it
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
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 QDateEdit widget
date = QDateEdit( self )
# setting geometry of the date edit
date.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 150 , 40 )
# setting correction mode
date.setCorrectionMode( 0 )
# creating a label
label = QLabel("GeeksforGeeks", self )
# setting geometry
label.setGeometry( 100 , 150 , 200 , 60 )
# making label multiline
label.setWordWrap( True )
# getting correction mode
value = date.correctionMode()
# setting text to the label
label.setText("Correction Mode : " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
