PyQt5 QDateEdit – Getting read only property
In this article we will see how we get the read-only property of date edit. By default when we create a date edit it is editable although we can make it read-only. In read-only mode, the user can still copy the text to the clipboard, or drag and drop the text but cannot edit it. In order to make the date edit read-only we use setReadOnly method.
In order to do this we use isReadOnly method with the QDateEdit object
Syntax : date.isReadOnly()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns bool
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) # making date edit read only date.setReadOnly(True) # creating a label label = QLabel("zambiatek", self) # setting geometry label.setGeometry(100, 150, 250, 60) # making label multiline label.setWordWrap(True) # getting read-only property value = date.isReadOnly() # setting text to the label label.setText("Read Only ? " + str(value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
