PyQt5 QDateTimeEdit β Getting Special Date Time Text
In this article we will see how we can get special date time text of the QDateTimeEdit widget. By setting special text with the help of setSpecialValueText
method, the QDateTimeEdit display this special text instead of a date time value whenever the current value is equal to minimum date time.
In order to do this we will use specialValueText
method with the QDateTimeEdit object.
Syntax : datetimeedit.specialValueText()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns string
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 QDateTimeEdit widget datetimeedit = QDateTimeEdit( self ) # setting geometry datetimeedit.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 150 , 35 ) # minimum date time min_dt = QDateTime( 2020 , 10 , 10 , 11 , 30 ) # setting minimum date time datetimeedit.setMinimumDateTime(min_dt) # text text = "GfG Date Time" # setting special text to the date time edit datetimeedit.setSpecialValueText(text) # creating a label label = QLabel( "w3wiki" , self ) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry( 100 , 160 , 200 , 60 ) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap( True ) # getting special text value = datetimeedit.specialValueText() # setting text to the label label.setText( "Special Text : " + str (value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
