PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Getting Height for width

0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how we can get the height for width of the QCalendarWidget. If the calendar has a layout, the default implementation returns the layout’s preferred height. if there is no layout, the default implementation returns -1 indicating that the preferred height does not depend on the width.

In order to do this we will use heightForWidth method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.heightForWidth(width)
Argument : It takes integer as argument
Return : It return integer

Below is the implementation

Python3

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

import sys
 
 
class Window(QMainWindow):
 
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
 
        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")
 
        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 650, 400)
 
        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()
 
        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()
 
    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):
 
        # creating a QCalendarWidget object
        self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self)
 
        # setting geometry to the calendar
        self.calendar.setGeometry(50, 10, 400, 250)
 
        # setting cursor
        self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)
 
        # creating label to show the properties
        self.label = QLabel(self)
 
        # setting geometry to the label
        self.label.setGeometry(100, 280, 250, 60)
 
        # making label multi line
        self.label.setWordWrap(True)
 
        # getting height for width
        value = self.calendar.heightForWidth(400)
 
        # setting text to the label
        self.label.setText("Height for width  : " + str(value))
