Detailed Description

The QCalendarWidget class provides a monthly calendar widget allowing the user to select a date. The widget is initialized with the current month and year. The QCalendarWidget provides several public slots to change the current year and month.

By default today's date is selected and the user can select a date using both mouse and keyboard. The currently selected date can be retrieved using the selectedDate() function. It is possible to constrain the user selection to a given date range by setting the minimumDate and maximumDate properties. Alternatively, both properties can be set in one go using the setDateRange() convenience slot. Set the selectionMode property to NoSelection to prohibit the user from selecting at all. A date also can be selected programmatically using the setSelectedDate() slot.

The currently displayed month and year can be retrieved using the monthShown() and yearShown() functions, respectively.

Date Syntax

By default a calendar widget uses abbreviated day names, and both Saturdays and Sundays are marked in red. The calendar grid is not visible. The week numbers are displayed and the first column day is Sunday.

The notation of the days can be altered to a single letter abbreviations ("M" for "Monday") by setting the horizontalHeaderFormat property to QCalendarWidget::SingleLetterDayNames. Setting the same property to QCalendarWidget::LongDayNames makes the header display the complete day names. The week numbers can be removed by setting the verticalHeaderFormat property to QCalendarWidget::NoVerticalHeader. The calendar grid can be turned on by setting the gridVisible property to true using the setGridVisible() method.

QCalendarWidget *calendar;

calendar->setGridVisible(true);

The day in the first column can be altered using the setFirstDayOfWeek() method.

The QCalendarWidget class also provides three signals, selectionChanged(), activated() and currentPageChanged() making it possible to respond to user interaction.

The rendering of the headers, weekdays or single days can be largely customized by setting QTextCharFormat's for some special weekday, a special date or for the rendering of the headers.

Only a subset of the properties in QTextCharFormat are used by the calendar widget. The foreground, background and font properties are used to determine the rendering of individual cells in the widget.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QCalendarWidget::HorizontalHeaderFormat

This enum type defines the various formats the horizontal header can display.

Constant	Value	Description
`QCalendarWidget::NoHorizontalHeader`	`0`	Header is hidden.
`QCalendarWidget::SingleLetterDayNames`	`1`	Header displays a singleletter abbreviation for day names (e.g. M for Monday).
`QCalendarWidget::ShortDayNames`	`2`	Header displays a short abbreviation for day names (e.g. Mon for Monday).
`QCalendarWidget::LongDayNames`	`3`	Header displays complete day names (e.g. Monday).

See also: horizontalHeaderFormat(), VerticalHeaderFormat

enum QCalendarWidget::SelectionMode

This enum describes the types of selection offered to the user for selecting dates in the calendar.

Constant	Value	Description
`QCalendarWidget::NoSelection`	`0`	Dates can not be selected.
`QCalendarWidget::SingleSelection`	`1`	Single dates can be selected.

See also: selectionMode

enum QCalendarWidget::VerticalHeaderFormat

This enum type defines the various formats the vertical header can display.

Constant	Value	Description
`QCalendarWidget::NoVerticalHeader`	`0`	Header is hidden.
`QCalendarWidget::ISOWeekNumbers`	`1`	Header displays ISO week numbers as described by QDate::weekNumber().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCalendarWidget::QCalendarWidget ( QWidget * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Constructs a calendar widget with the given parent. The widget is initialized with the current month and year, and the currently selected date is today.

See also: setCurrentPage()

QCalendarWidget::~QCalendarWidget ( )

Destroys the calendar widget.

Method Documentation

void QCalendarWidget::activated ( const QDate & date )

signal

This signal is emitted whenever the user presses the Return or Enter key or double-clicks a date in the calendar widget.

void QCalendarWidget::clicked ( const QDate & date )

signal

This signal is emitted when a mouse button is clicked. The date the mouse was clicked on is specified by date. The signal is only emitted when clicked on a valid date, e.g., dates are not outside the minimumDate() and maximumDate().

If the selection mode is NoSelection, this signal will not be emitted.

void QCalendarWidget::currentPageChanged	(	int	year,
		int	month
	)

signal

This signal is emitted when the currently shown month is changed. The new year and month are passed as parameters.

See also: setCurrentPage()

int QCalendarWidget::dateEditAcceptDelay ( ) const

Returns the value of the dateEditAcceptDelay property.

QMap< QDate, QTextCharFormat > QCalendarWidget::dateTextFormat ( ) const

Returns a QMap where the key is a QDate and the value is the corresponding QTextCharFormat. The map contains all of the dates which are rendered in the special format.

See also: setDateTextFormat()

QTextCharFormat QCalendarWidget::dateTextFormat ( const QDate & date ) const

Returns a QTextCharFormat for date. The char format can be empty if the date is not rendered specially.

void QCalendarWidget::setDateEditEnabled ( bool enable )

Sets the value of the dateEditEnabled property to enable.

void QCalendarWidget::setDateRange	(	const QDate &	min,
		const QDate &	max
	)

slot

Defines a date range by setting the minimumDate and maximumDate properties. The date range restricts the user selection, i.e. the user can only select dates within the specified date range.

The following two examples are equivalent. If either the min or max parameters are not valid QDate objects, this method does nothing.

// 1
QCalendarWidget *calendar;
 
calendar->setDateRange(min, max);
 
// 2
QCalendarWidget *calendar;
 
calendar->setMinimumDate(min);
calendar->setMaximumDate(max);

void QCalendarWidget::setDateTextFormat	(	const QDate &	date,
		const QTextCharFormat &	format

Property Documentation

QCalendarWidget::dateEditAcceptDelay

This property holds the time an inactive date edit is shown before its contents are accepted. By default the delay is defined to be 1500 milliseconds (1.5 seconds).

If the calendar widget's date edit is enabled, this property specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the date edit remains open after the most recent user input. Once this time has elapsed, the date specified in the date edit is accepted and the popup is closed.

Properties	Class Methods
read	dateEditAcceptDelay
write	setDateEditAcceptDelay

QCalendarWidget::dateEditEnabled

This property holds whether the date edit popup is enabled. By default this property is enabled. If this property is enabled, pressing a non-modifier key will cause a date edit to popup if the calendar widget has focus, allowing the user to specify a date in the form specified by the current locale.

The date edit is simpler in appearance than QDateEdit, but allows the user to navigate between fields using the left and right cursor keys, increment and decrement individual fields using the up and down cursor keys, and enter values directly using the number keys.

QCalendarWidget::maximumDate

This property holds the maximum date of the currently specified date range. The user will not be able to select a date which is after the currently set maximum date. By default the maximum date is the last day the QDate class can handle.

When setting a maximum date the minimumDate and selectedDate properties are adjusted if the selection range becomes invalid. If the provided date is not a valid QDate object, the setMaximumDate() function does nothing.

QCalendarWidget *calendar;
calendar->setGridVisible(true);
calendar->setMaximumDate(QDate(2006, 7, 3));

QCalendarWidget::minimumDate

This property holds the minimum date of the currently specified date range. The user will not be able to select a date that is before the currently set minimum date. By default the minimum date is the earliest date that the QDate class can handle.

When setting a minimum date, the maximumDate and selectedDate properties are adjusted if the selection range becomes invalid. If the provided date is not a valid QDate object, the setMinimumDate() function does nothing.

QCalendarWidget *calendar;
calendar->setGridVisible(true);
calendar->setMinimumDate(QDate(2006, 6, 19));
