Question about QCalendarWidget with PyQT

[hf]

Greetings to all:

I'm fairly new to qt, but, I can't imagine going back to gtk anymore. So as a first post, a big thanks to the qt developers.

So, on with my question...

I've been having some problems with the QCalendarWidget, which is very
nice, but seems to lack some documentation. I tried googling and
looking through many mail lists, but still can't find the solution to
my problem. I have the following code:

...
dateStr = "20070101" # january 1, 2007
date = QDate.fromString(dateStr, QString("yyyymmdd"))
calendar.setSelectedDate(date)
...

But, the calendar does not change the month,year, or day. After the
calendar is rendered, the current date is displayed, not the selected
date. I can force it to change the displayed
month and year, but not the day with the following code...

...
calendar.setCurrentPage(2007, 01)
...

If I call the method showSelectedDate, the current day is displayed
instead. Am I actually changing the selectedDate or do I have to do
something else?
Also, what method do I use so that the day(1,2,3...31) is highlighted?
Is there some sort of 'update' method which will redraw the calendar
with the new selectedDate?

Regards,
HF

Have you checked if date.isValid()?

Wow, thanks, I completely overlooked that. What I found was that the date format should be "yyyyMMdd" instead of "yyyymmdd". Also, for some reason, I could only get the calendar to work right with QDateTime instead of QDate. (I'm sure it's an error on my part) :eek:
