PyQt5 QDateEdit – Setting Date Time range which can be set

In this article we will see how we can set date-time range of the QDateEdit. By setting date-time range we bound the lower and upper limit of setting date time to the date edit. We can set date time to date edit with the help of setDateTime method. Minimum date time and maximum date-time can be set to the date edit with the help of setMinimumDateTime and setMaximumDateTime method respectively.

In order to do this we use setDateTimeRange method with the QDateEdit object

Syntax : date.setDateTimeRange(min, max)

Argument : It takes two QDateTime object 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, 200, 40)

        # alignment
        a_flag = Qt.AlignCenter

        # setting alignment of date
        date.setAlignment(a_flag)

        # QDate object
        d1 = QDateTime(2020, 1, 1, 10, 30)
        d2 = QDateTime(2031, 1, 1, 11, 10)

        # setting date time range
        date.setDateTimeRange(d1, d2)



# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
