PyQt5 QDateEdit - Getting Date Alignment

PyQt5 QDateEdit - Getting Date Alignment

In PyQt5, if you want to get (or set) the alignment of the text in a QDateEdit widget, you can access this property using the alignment() method of the underlying lineEdit().

Here's an example to demonstrate this:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QDateEdit, QLabel, QPushButton from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt class AppDemo(QWidget): def __init__(self): super().__init__() layout = QVBoxLayout() self.date_edit = QDateEdit() self.label = QLabel() # Button to show current alignment btn = QPushButton("Show Alignment") btn.clicked.connect(self.show_alignment) layout.addWidget(self.date_edit) layout.addWidget(btn) layout.addWidget(self.label) self.setLayout(layout) self.show() def show_alignment(self): """Slot function to display the current alignment.""" alignment = self.date_edit.lineEdit().alignment() if alignment & Qt.AlignLeft: self.label.setText("Left Aligned") elif alignment & Qt.AlignRight: self.label.setText("Right Aligned") elif alignment & Qt.AlignCenter: self.label.setText("Center Aligned") else: self.label.setText("Unknown Alignment") app = QApplication(sys.argv) demo = AppDemo() sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this example:

  • The show_alignment method checks the alignment of the text in the QDateEdit widget using the alignment() method of the widget's underlying lineEdit().
  • Depending on the alignment, the method sets an appropriate text on the label to indicate the alignment.

You can also set the alignment using the setAlignment() method, e.g.,

self.date_edit.lineEdit().setAlignment(Qt.AlignRight)

This would set the text alignment of the date in the QDateEdit widget to be right-aligned.
