PyQt5 QDateTimeEdit – Setting Display format
In this article we will see how we can set display format of date to the QDateTimeEdit. Display format property holds the format used to display the time/date of the date time edit. By default, we see date in format like 01-01-2000 although by setting display format we can make this date as 1 Jan 2020.
In order to do this we will use setDisplayFormat
method with the QDateTimeEdit object.
Syntax : datetimeedit.setDisplayFormat(format)
Argument : It takes string 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 QDateTimeEdit widget datetimeedit = QDateTimeEdit( self ) # setting geometry datetimeedit.setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 150 , 35 ) # setting date format datetimeedit.setDisplayFormat( "dd MMM yyyy" ) # creating a label label = QLabel( "w3wiki" , self ) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry( 100 , 200 , 300 , 80 ) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap( True ) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
