PyQt5 QDateEdit – Stepping Date by some value
In this article we will see how we can step the date of the QDateEdit. Stepping date means to change the date with specific value, the current selected section i.e day, month or year value get changed every time. Arrow buttons performs same action but they increment only by one only, although we can remove that button and make our own button.
Note : When any section reaches the maximum value then it will not increment anymore, for example, month section can not be incremented after month 12
In order to do this we use stepBy
method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.stepBy(n)
Argument : It takes integer 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 QDateEdit widget date = QDateEdit( self ) # removing buttons date.setButtonSymbols( 2 ) # setting geometry of the date edit date.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 150 , 40 ) # creating a label push = QPushButton( "Step By 5" , self ) # setting geometry of the push button push.setGeometry( 100 , 170 , 100 , 30 ) # adding action to the push button when it get clicked push.clicked.connect( lambda : push_method()) # method called by the push button def push_method(): # stepping value by 5 date.stepBy( 5 ) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
