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 initial 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
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 , 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 ())
