In this lesson we want to learn about Python PySide6 QCalendarWidget, QCalendarWidget is user interface element that provides graphical representation of calendar. it enables the user to select date either by clicking on particular day or by scrolling through the months and years.

 

This is a simple example of how to use QCalendarWidget in PySide6:

In this example, we create a new QMainWindow and set its central widget to a QCalendarWidget instance. We also set the default date to today’s date, and set the minimum and maximum date range to one month.

Signals and Slots

QCalendarWidget emits signals when the user selects new date which can be used to update other parts of your application. you can connect these signals to custom functions using PySide6 signals and slots mechanism.

This is an example that demonstrates how to use signals and slots with QCalendarWidget:

In this example we have created new QMainWindow and QCalendarWidget instance, and QLabel to display the selected date. after that we connect the selectionChanged signal emitted by the calendar widget to a custom update_date_label() function, which updates the date label with the new selected date.

 

 

Run the complete code and this will be the result.
