Detailed Description

../../_images/windows-datetimeedit.png

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 range of valid values for a QDateTimeEdit is controlled by the properties minimumDateTime , maximumDateTime , and their respective date and time components. By default, any date-time from the start of 100 CE to the end of 9999 CE is valid.

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() .

Keyboard Tracking

When keyboard tracking is enabled (the default), every keystroke of editing a field triggers signals for value changes.

When the allowed range is narrower than some time interval whose end it straddles, keyboard tracking prevents the user editing the date or time to access the later part of the interval. For example, for a range from 29.04.2020 to 02.05.2020 and an initial date of 30.04.2020, the user can change neither the month (May 30th is outside the range) nor the day (April 2nd is outside the range).

When keyboard tracking is disabled, changes are only signalled when focus leaves the text field after edits have modified the content. This allows the user to edit via an invalid date-time to reach a valid one.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QDateTimeEdit.clearMaximumDate()

This property holds The maximum date of the date time edit..

Changing this property updates the date of the maximumDateTime property while preserving the maximumTime property.

PySide2.QtWidgets.QDateTimeEdit.setDateRange(min, max)
Parameters:

Set the range of allowed dates for the date time edit.

This convenience function sets the minimumDate and maximumDate properties.

setDateRange(min, max)

is analogous to:

setMinimumDate(min)
setMaximumDate(max)

If either min or max is invalid, this function does nothing. This function preserves the minimumTime property. If max is less than min , the new maximumDateTime property shall be the new minimumDateTime property. If max is equal to min and the maximumTime property was less then the minimumTime property, the maximumTime property is set to the minimumTime property. Otherwise, this preserves the maximumTime property.

If the range is narrower then a time interval whose end it spans, for example a week that spans the end of a month, users can only edit the date to one in the later part of the range if keyboard-tracking is disabled.
