In this article we will see how we can set the correction mode to the QDateEdit. In date edit correction is very important so that user can’t enter invalid date for example if user try to enter the month value greater than 12 the current value goes back the previous valid value. There are basically two correction modes for date edit given below
CorrectToPreviousValue
: The date edit will revert to the last valid value its associated value is 0CorrectToNearestValue
: The date edit will revert to the nearest valid value, its associated value is 1
In order to do this we use setCorrectionMode
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.setCorrectionMode(0)
Argument : It takes correction mode associated value as argument
Return : It returns None
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 )
# setting correction mode
date.setCorrectionMode( 0 )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
