PyQt5 QDateEdit – Setting Date range which user can enter

0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how we can set the date range to the QDateEdit. Date range means that user can only enter that date which lies within the set range. Sometimes there is a need to set date range for example when user is asked to select the date for meeting within 10 days then need of setting range arises. Individually we can set minimum and maximum date with the help of setMinimumDate and setMaximumDate methods respectively.

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

Syntax : date.setDateRange(min, max)

Argument : It takes two QDate object as argument 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 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 
        d1 = QDate(2020, 10, 10) 
        d2 = QDate(2020, 10, 20) 
  
        # setting date range 
        date.setDateRange(d1, d2) 
  
  
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
