PyQt5 QDateTimeEdit – Setting QDateTime to it

In this article we will see how we can set QDateTime object to the QDateTimeEdit widget. QDateTime is basically a combination of QDate and QTime i.e it has both date and time. And QDateTimeEdit widget is used to show or receive the QDateTime.

In order to do this we will use setDateTime method with the QDateTimeEdit object.

Syntax : datetimeedit.setDateTime(dt)

Argument : It takes QDateTime object as argument

Return : It returns None

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui

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 label
        label = QLabel("GeeksforGeeks", self)

        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(100, 160, 200, 60)

        # making label multi line
        label.setWordWrap(True)

        # QDateTime
        dt = QDateTime(2020, 10, 10, 21, 30)

        # setting date time to datetimeedit
        datetimeedit.setDateTime(dt)



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

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

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

Output :
