PyQt5 QDateEdit – Getting Date Alignment
In this article we will see how we can get the date alignment of the QDateEdit. By default, the text is aligned on the left hand side although by changing the alignment we can make the date appear in the center with the help of setAlignment
method. Changing alignment does not effect the functionality of the date edit.
In order to do this we use alignment
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.alignment()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns Alignment flag object
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) # creating a label label = QLabel( "w3wiki" , self ) # setting geometry label.setGeometry( 100 , 150 , 200 , 60 ) # making label multiline label.setWordWrap( True ) # getting alignment value = date.alignment() # setting text to the label label.setText( "Alignment : " + str (value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
