DateEntry of Ttkbootstrap to select date from a Calendar with options and parameters #13

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *
from datetime import date
my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("420x300")  # width and height
dt2=date(2023,12,30) # start date 

de = ttk.DateEntry(dateformat='%Y-%m-%d',firstweekday=2,startdate=dt2)
de.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=10, pady=20)

my_w.mainloop()

Reading and displaying selected date on a Label on click of a button.

Ttkbootstrap DateEntry get selected date

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *
from datetime import date
my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("520x320")  # width and height
dt2=date(2023,12,30) # for startdate 
sel=ttk.StringVar()
de = ttk.DateEntry(dateformat='%Y-%m-%d',firstweekday=2,startdate=dt2)
de.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=10, pady=20)

def my_upd():
    l1.configure(text=de.entry.get()) # displaying date 

b1=ttk.Button(my_w,text='Show date',command=lambda:my_upd())
b1.grid(row=1,column=2)
l1=ttk.Label(my_w,text='Date') # to display date here 
l1.grid(row =1,column=3)
my_w.mainloop()

We are yet to find a solution to collect the selected date without the button click. Something similar to this. cal.bind('<<DateEntrySelected>>',my_upd).

All ttkbootstrap styles are applied using the bootstyle parameter. We can use all the avilable styles and apply to DateEntry.
DateEntry all bootstyle colours

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *
from datetime import date
my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("700x200")  # width and height
c,r=0,0
for my_style in my_w.style.colors: # List of styles 
    de = ttk.DateEntry(bootstyle=my_style)
    de.grid(row=r, column=c, padx=2, pady=20)
    c=c+1
    if c==4:
        c,r=0,1
my_w.mainloop()

state

After creation of the DateEntry we can update the state option. It can take values : readonly, disabled or invalid.

de.configure(state='readonly')
#de.configure(state='disabled')
