PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Getting Meta object of it

0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how we can get the meta object of QCalendarWidget. A meta-object contains information about a class that inherits QObject, e.g. class name, superclass name, properties, signals and slots. Every QObject subclass that contains the Q_OBJECT macro will have a meta-object.

In order to do this we will use metaObject method with the QCalendarWidget object.

Syntax : calendar.metaObject()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It return QMetaObject

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 
  
# QCalendarWidget Class 
class Calendar(QCalendarWidget): 
  
    # constructor 
    def __init__(self, parent = None): 
        super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent) 
        self.setMouseTracking(True) 
  
  
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 QCalendarWidget object 
        # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget 
        self.calendar = Calendar(self) 
  
        # setting cursor 
        self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) 
  
        # setting geometry to the calendar 
        self.calendar.setGeometry(20, 20, 300, 240) 
  
        # creating a label 
        label = QLabel(self) 
  
        # setting geometry to the label 
        label.setGeometry(100, 280, 300, 60) 
  
        # creating label multi line 
        label.setWordWrap(True) 
  
        # getting meta object of calendar 
        value = self.calendar.metaObject() 
  
        # setting text to the label 
        label.setText(str(value)) 
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
