In this article we will see how we can get the date alignment of the QDateEdit. By default, the text is aligned on the left hand side although by changing the alignment we can make the date appear in the center with the help of setAlignment
method. Changing alignment does not effect the functionality of the date edit.
In order to do this we use alignment
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.alignment()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns Alignment flag object
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 , 200 , 40 )
# alignment
a_flag = Qt.AlignCenter
# setting alignment of date
date.setAlignment(a_flag)
# creating a label
label = QLabel( "GeeksforGeeks" , self )
# setting geometry
label.setGeometry( 100 , 150 , 200 , 60 )
# making label multiline
label.setWordWrap( True )
# getting alignment
value = date.alignment()
# setting text to the label
label.setText( "Alignment : " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
