PyQt5 QDateEdit – Getting Maximum Date Time which can be set

0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how we can get maximum date-time of the QDateEdit. Sometimes there is a need to set maximum date time so that user can’t enter date time which are beyond the maximum date time. We can set date time to date edit with the help of setDateTime method. Maximum date-time can be set with the help of setMaximumDateTime method.

In order to do this we use maximumDateTime method with the QDateEdit object

Syntax : date.maximumDateTime()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns QDateTime object

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) 
  
        # setting geometry of the date edit 
        date.setGeometry(100, 100, 200, 40) 
  
        # alignment 
        a_flag = Qt.AlignCenter 
  
        # setting alignment of date 
        date.setAlignment(a_flag) 
  
        # QDate object 
        d = QDateTime(2020, 1, 1, 10, 30) 
  
        # setting maximum date time 
        date.setMaximumDateTime(d) 
  
        # text 
        text = "Geek date edit"
  
        # setting name 
        date.setAccessibleName(text) 
  
        # creating a label 
        label = QLabel("zambiatek", self) 
  
        # setting geometry 
        label.setGeometry(100, 150, 200, 60) 
  
        # making label multiline 
        label.setWordWrap(True) 
  
        # getting maximum date time 
        value = date.maximumDateTime() 
  
        # setting text to the label 
        label.setText("Max Date Time : " + str(value)) 
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
