PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Getting First Day of Week
In this article we will see how we can get the first day of the week of the QCalendarWidget. When we create a calendar by default first day of the week is Monday although we can change this any time, days are displayed in the first column of the calendar. We can change the first day any time with the help of setFirstDayOfWeek method.
In order to do this we will use firstDayOfWeek method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.firstDayOfWeek()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return day object but when printed it shows the value associated with them
Below is the implementation
Python3
# 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 , 650 , 400 ) # calling method self .UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self .show() # method for components def UiComponents( self ): # creating a QCalendarWidget object self .calendar = QCalendarWidget( self ) # setting geometry to the calendar self .calendar.setGeometry( 50 , 10 , 400 , 250 ) # setting cursor self .calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # setting first day of week self .calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Qt.Wednesday) # creating label to show the properties self .label = QLabel( self ) # setting geometry to the label self .label.setGeometry( 100 , 280 , 250 , 60 ) # making label multi line self .label.setWordWrap( True ) # getting first day of the week value = self .calendar.firstDayOfWeek() # setting text to the label self .label.setText( "First Day of Week :" + str (value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
