Detailed Description¶

QDateTimeEdit allows the user to edit dates by using the keyboard or the arrow keys to increase and decrease date and time values. The arrow keys can be used to move from section to section within the QDateTimeEdit box. Dates and times appear in accordance with the format set; see setDisplayFormat() .
dateEdit = QDateTimeEdit(QDate.currentDate())
dateEdit.setMinimumDate(QDate.currentDate().addDays(-365))
dateEdit.setMaximumDate(QDate.currentDate().addDays(365))
dateEdit.setDisplayFormat("yyyy.MM.dd")
Here we’ve created a new QDateTimeEdit object initialized with today’s date, and restricted the valid date range to today plus or minus 365 days. We’ve set the order to month, day, year.

The minimum value for QDateTimeEdit is 14 September 1752. You can change this by calling setMinimumDate() , taking into account that the minimum value for QDate is 2 January 4713BC.

Other useful functions are setMaximumDate() , setMinimumTime() and setMaximumTime() .

Using a Pop-up Calendar Widget¶

QDateTimeEdit can be configured to allow a QCalendarWidget to be used to select dates. This is enabled by setting the calendarPopup property. Additionally, you can supply a custom calendar widget for use as the calendar pop-up by calling the setCalendarWidget() function. The existing calendar widget can be retrieved with calendarWidget() .
