In this article we will see how we can step the date of the QDateEdit. Stepping date means to change the date with specific value, the current selected section i.e day, month or year value get changed every time. Arrow buttons performs same action but they increment only by one only, although we can remove that button and make our own button.
Note : When any section reaches the maximum value then it will not increment anymore, for example, month section can not be incremented after month 12
In order to do this we use stepBy
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.stepBy(n)
Argument : It takes integer 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 )
# removing buttons
date.setButtonSymbols( 2 )
# setting geometry of the date edit
date.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 150 , 40 )
# creating a label
push = QPushButton( "Step By 5" , self )
# setting geometry of the push button
push.setGeometry( 100 , 170 , 100 , 30 )
# adding action to the push button when it get clicked
push.clicked.connect( lambda : push_method())
# method called by the push button
def push_method():
# stepping value by 5
date.stepBy( 5 )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
