PyQt5 QCalendarWidget - Closing when use is done

PyQt5 QCalendarWidget - Closing when use is done

If you want the QCalendarWidget in PyQt5 to close automatically once the user has selected a date (i.e., when the user is "done"), you can use the selectionChanged signal to trigger the close action.

Here's an example demonstrating this:

  • First, make sure you have PyQt5 installed:
pip install PyQt5
  • Here's a simple script where QCalendarWidget closes once a date is selected:
import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QCalendarWidget, QVBoxLayout, QWidget class CalendarDemo(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # Initialize the calendar widget self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self) # Connect the selectionChanged signal to our custom slot self.calendar.selectionChanged.connect(self.date_selected) # Set up layout and central widget layout = QVBoxLayout() layout.addWidget(self.calendar) central_widget = QWidget() central_widget.setLayout(layout) self.setCentralWidget(central_widget) self.setWindowTitle("QCalendarWidget Close Demo") self.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 300) def date_selected(self): selected_date = self.calendar.selectedDate() print(f"Selected date: {selected_date.toString()}") self.close() # Close the main window if __name__ == '__main__': app = QApplication(sys.argv) window = CalendarDemo() window.show() sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this code, a QCalendarWidget is displayed inside a QMainWindow. When a date is selected in the calendar widget, the date_selected method is triggered, which prints the selected date and then closes the main window.
