In this article we will see how we can get the direction of the date edit. By default when we create a date edit arrow buttons are at the right side although we can change it, by changing the layout direction with the help of setLayoutDirection
method.
In order to do this we use layoutDirection
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.layoutDirection()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns Direction object but when printed it shows the associated value 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 , 200 , 40 )
# alignment
a_flag = Qt.AlignCenter
# setting alignment of date
date.setAlignment(a_flag)
# setting layout direction
date.setLayoutDirection(Qt.RightToLeft)
# creating a label
label = QLabel( "GeeksforGeeks" , self )
# setting geometry
label.setGeometry( 100 , 150 , 250 , 60 )
# making label multiline
label.setWordWrap( True )
# getting direction
value = date.layoutDirection()
# setting text to the label
label.setText( "Direction : " + str (value))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
