PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Native Parent Widget

Last Updated : 17 Jun, 2020

In this article we will see how we can get the native parent widget of QCalendarWidget. In order to do this we use nativeParentWidget method, this method returns the native parent for the calendar, i.e. the next ancestor widget that has a system identifier, or None if it does not have any native parent.

In order to do this we will use nativeParentWidget method with the QCalendarWidget object.

Syntax : calendar.nativeParentWidget()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It return QWidget object

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui 
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
import sys 
  
# QCalendarWidget Class 
class Calendar(QCalendarWidget): 
  
    # constructor 
    def __init__(self, parent = None): 
        super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent) 
  
  
  
class Window(QMainWindow): 
  
    def __init__(self): 
        super().__init__() 
  
        # setting title 
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ") 
  
        # setting geometry 
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 400) 
  
        # calling method 
        self.UiComponents() 
  
        # showing all the widgets 
        self.show() 
  
  
    # method for components 
    def UiComponents(self): 
  
        # creating a QCalendarWidget object 
        # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget 
        self.calendar = Calendar(self) 
  
        # setting cursor 
        self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) 
  
        # setting size of the calendar 
        self.calendar.resize(300, 240) 
  
        # move the calendar 
        self.calendar.move(10, 10) 
  
        # creating a label 
        label = QLabel(self) 
  
        # setting geometry to the label 
        label.setGeometry(100, 280, 250, 60) 
  
        # making label multi line 
        label.setWordWrap(True) 
          
  
        # getting the native parent widget 
        value = self.calendar.nativeParentWidget() 
  
        # setting text to the label 
        label.setText("Native Parent Widget : " + str(value)) 
  
  
# create pyqt5 app 
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
