PyQt5 QDateTimeEdit – Getting minimum QDateTime
In this article we will see how we can get the minimum QDateTime of the QDateTimeEdit widget. QDateTime is basically a combination of QDate and QTime i.e it has both date and time. And QDateTimeEdit widget is used to show or receive the QDateTime. We can set date time to it with the help of setDateTime. By setting minimum value of it make sure that user will not be allowed to enter date time below the minimum date time, it can be set with the help of setMinimumDateTime method.
In order to do this we will use minimumDateTime method with the QDateTimeEdit object.
Syntax : datetimeedit.minimumDateTime()
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 QDateTimeEdit widget datetimeedit = QDateTimeEdit(self) # setting geometry datetimeedit.setGeometry(100, 100, 150, 35) # date time dt = QDateTime(2020, 10, 10, 11, 30) # setting minimum date time to it datetimeedit.setMinimumDateTime(dt) # creating a label label = QLabel("zambiatek", self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 160, 200, 60) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # getting minimum date time value = datetimeedit.minimumDateTime() # setting text to the label label.setText("Min 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()) |
Output :
