In this article we will see how we can get the maximum date to the QDateEdit. Sometimes there is a need to set maximum date so that user can’t enter date which is beyond the maximum date for example when user is asked to enter date of birth, user should not be allowed to enter future date then need for setting maximum date arises. Maximum date can be set with the help of setMaximumDate
method.
In order to do this we use maximumDate
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.maximumDate(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 , 200 , 40 )
# alignment
a_flag = Qt.AlignCenter
# setting alignment of date
date.setAlignment(a_flag)
# QDate object
d = QDate( 2020 , 1 , 1 )
# setting maximum date
date.setMaximumDate(d)
# text
text = "Geek date edit"
# setting name
date.setAccessibleName(text)
# creating a label
label = QLabel( "GeeksforGeeks" , self )
# setting geometry
label.setGeometry( 100 , 150 , 200 , 60 )
# making label multiline
label.setWordWrap( True )
# getting maximum date
value = date.maximumDate()
# setting text to the label
label.setText( "Max 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 ())
