Class: QgsDateTimeEdit

class qgis.gui.QgsDateTimeEdit(parent: QWidget = None)

Bases: PyQt5.QtWidgets.QDateTimeEdit

Constructor for QgsDateTimeEdit. The current date and time is used by default. The widget is allowing null by default. If allow null is disabled, you should check allowNull before getting values from the widget.

The QgsDateTimeEdit class is a QDateTimeEdit with the capability of setting/reading null date/times.

Warning

You should use the signal valueChanged of this subclass rather than QDateTimeEdit.dateTimeChanged. (If you consequently connect parent’s dateTimeChanged signal and call dateTime() afterwards there is no guarantee that NULL values will be correctly handled).

If the widget allows setting null date/time.

setAllowNull()

Return type

bool

changeEvent(self, QEvent)
childEvent(self, QChildEvent)
clear(self)

Set the current date as NULL.

Note

If the widget is not configured to accept NULL dates, this will have no effect.

closeEvent(self, QCloseEvent)
connectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
contextMenuEvent(self, QContextMenuEvent)
create(self, window: sip.voidptr = 0, initializeWindow: bool = True, destroyOldWindow: bool = True)
customEvent(self, QEvent)
date(self) QDate

Returns the date which can be a null date.

New in version 3.10.

Return type

QDate

dateTime(self) QDateTime

Returns the date time which can be a null date/time.

Note

Before QGIS 3.10, you mustn’t call date() or time() because they can’t return a NULL value.

Note

Since QDateTimeEdit.dateTime() is not virtual, dateTime must be called for QgsDateTimeEdit.

Return type

QDateTime

dateTimeFromText(self, str) QDateTime
destroy(self, destroyWindow: bool = True, destroySubWindows: bool = True)
disconnectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
displayNull(self, updateCalendar: bool = False)

write the null value representation to the line edit without changing the value

Parameters

updateCalendar (bool = False) – Flag if calendar is open and minimum date needs to be set
