PyQt5 QCalendarWidget - Override the Window Flags

PyQt5 QCalendarWidget - Override the Window Flags

If you want to override the window flags of a QCalendarWidget, it's crucial to understand that QCalendarWidget itself does not have window flags because it's typically a widget that's embedded within a window, like QMainWindow or QDialog.

However, if you're trying to display a QCalendarWidget in its own window or as a pop-up and want to modify its window flags, you would likely put the QCalendarWidget inside a QDialog or another window-type widget and then set the window flags on that container.

Here's an example where I'll show how you can display a QCalendarWidget inside a QDialog and set custom window flags:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QCalendarWidget, QDialog, QVBoxLayout
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt

class CalendarDialog(QDialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # Set custom window flags
        self.setWindowFlags(Qt.Tool | Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)

        layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
        self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self)
        layout.addWidget(self.calendar)

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

window = CalendarDialog()
window.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this example, I've set the window flags to Qt.Tool | Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint, making the calendar dialog act like a tool window and ensuring it stays on top of other windows.

Modify the setWindowFlags line to use whatever flags you desire. Remember that when you're using setWindowFlags, you're replacing the existing flags, so be sure to include all the flags you need.
