PyQt5 QDateEdit – Selecting Whole Date
In this article we will see how we can select the whole date of the QDateEdit. User can set a date to the date edit with the help of cursor and the keyboard. Selecting date means the text of the date, selecting date is used for copying or overwriting the text of date edit.
In order to do this we use selectAll
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.selectAll()
Argument : It takes no 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 ) # setting geometry of the date edit date.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 150 , 40 ) # creating push button push = QPushButton( "Select" , self ) # setting geometry to the push button push.setGeometry( 100 , 150 , 120 , 30 ) # adding action to the push button # when it get clicked push.clicked.connect( lambda : push_method()) # method called by push button def push_method(): # selecting text date.selectAll() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
