In this article we will see how we can get the input date of the QDateEdit. User can set date to the date edit with the help of cursor and the keyboard but sometimes there is a need of setting inital date or date programmatically for showing date in the records, which can be done with the help of setDate
method.
In order to do this we use date
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.date()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns QDate 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 , 150 , 40 ) # date d = QDate( 2020 , 6 , 10 ) # setting date to the date edit date.setDate(d) # creating a label label = QLabel( "GeeksforGeeks" , self ) # setting geometry label.setGeometry( 100 , 150 , 200 , 60 ) # making label multiline label.setWordWrap( True ) # getting current date value = date.date() # setting text to the label label.setText( "Date : " + str (value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
