Member Function Documentation

QCalendarWidget::QCalendarWidget(QWidget *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a calendar widget with the given parent.

The widget is initialized with the current month and year, and the currently selected date is today.

See also setCurrentPage().

[signal] void QCalendarWidget::activated(QDate date)

This signal is emitted whenever the user presses the Return or Enter key or double-clicks a date in the calendar widget.

[signal] void QCalendarWidget::clicked(QDate date)

This signal is emitted when a mouse button is clicked. The date the mouse was clicked on is specified by date. The signal is only emitted when clicked on a valid date, e.g., dates are not outside the minimumDate() and maximumDate(). If the selection mode is NoSelection, this signal will not be emitted.

[signal] void QCalendarWidget::currentPageChanged(int year, int month)

This signal is emitted when the currently shown month is changed. The new year and month are passed as parameters.

See also setCurrentPage().

[signal] void QCalendarWidget::selectionChanged()

This signal is emitted when the currently selected date is changed.

The currently selected date can be changed by the user using the mouse or keyboard, or by the programmer using setSelectedDate().

See also selectedDate().

[slot] void QCalendarWidget::setCurrentPage(int year, int month)

Displays the given month of the given year without changing the selected date. Use the setSelectedDate() function to alter the selected date.

The currently displayed month and year can be retrieved using the monthShown() and yearShown() functions respectively.

See also yearShown(), monthShown(), showPreviousMonth(), showNextMonth(), showPreviousYear(), and showNextYear().

[slot] void QCalendarWidget::setDateRange(QDate min, QDate max)

Defines a date range by setting the minimumDate and maximumDate properties.

The date range restricts the user selection, i.e. the user can only select dates within the specified date range. Note that

QCalendarWidget *calendar;

calendar->setDateRange(min, max);

is analogous to

QCalendarWidget *calendar;

calendar->setMinimumDate(min);
calendar->setMaximumDate(max);

If either the min or max parameters are not valid QDate objects, this function does nothing.

See also setMinimumDate() and setMaximumDate().

[slot] void QCalendarWidget::showNextMonth()

Shows the next month relative to the currently displayed month. Note that the selected date is not changed.

See also showPreviousMonth(), setCurrentPage(), and setSelectedDate().

[slot] void QCalendarWidget::showNextYear()

Shows the currently displayed month in the next year relative to the currently displayed year. Note that the selected date is not changed.

See also showPreviousYear(), setCurrentPage(), and setSelectedDate().

[slot] void QCalendarWidget::showPreviousMonth()

Shows the previous month relative to the currently displayed month. Note that the selected date is not changed.

See also showNextMonth(), setCurrentPage(), and setSelectedDate().

[slot] void QCalendarWidget::showPreviousYear()

Shows the currently displayed month in the previous year relative to the currently displayed year. Note that the selected date is not changed.

See also showNextYear(), setCurrentPage(), and setSelectedDate().

[slot] void QCalendarWidget::showSelectedDate()

Shows the month of the selected date.

See also selectedDate() and setCurrentPage().

[slot] void QCalendarWidget::showToday()

Shows the month of the today's date.

See also selectedDate() and setCurrentPage().
