In this article we will see how we can select the section text in the QDateTimeEdit widget programmatically. There are many sections in the QDateTimeedit widget like, year, month, hour, minute section. User can select any section with the help of mouse or keyboard and increment and decrement action get performed on the current section.
In order to do this we will use setSelectedSection
method with the QDateTimeEdit object.
Syntax : datetimeedit.setSelectedSection(section)
Argument : It takes section 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 QDateTimeEdit widget
datetimeedit = QDateTimeEdit( self )
# setting geometry
datetimeedit.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 150 , 35 )
# creating a push button
push = QPushButton( "Press" , self )
# setting geometry to the push button
push.setGeometry( 120 , 160 , 120 , 35 )
# when push button get clicked connect to the method
push.clicked.connect( lambda : push_method())
def push_method():
# set the selected section
datetimeedit.setSelectedSection(QDateTimeEdit.MonthSection)
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
