Validating a dateEdit and a Label

LT-K101

Hi,
I have written a function to validate a dateEdit and a Label which displays an image. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I would appreciate assistance. Thank you. Below are my lines.

self.ui.PushButton.clicked.connect(self.my_func)

def my_func(self):
      
    dob = self.ui.Date_of_Birth_dateEdit.date().toString()
    pixmap = QPixmap(self.fname)
    self.ui.Display_label.setPixmap(QPixmap(pixmap))  

    if dob == '':
       QMessageBox.information(self, "Error", "Select Date Of Birth")
       self.ui.Date_of_Birth_dateEdit.setFocus()

 elif  self.ui.Display_label.setPixmap(QPixmap(pixmap)) == ' ':
       self.ui.Display_label.setFocus()

 else:
       self.ui.stackedWidget.setCurrentWidget(self.ui.Page_one)

And I don't know what the problem is...
Also, what does "validate" mean here?
Can you please explain what you want to do and what does not work?

@jsulm I want to prompt the user, if the user leave a field empty and want to move to the next page by clicking on a Qpushbutton. The App should display a message using a Qmessagebox and setfocus on the empty field so the user will know the exact field which is empty. I used same logic for QLineEdit and it works fine but for QdateEdit and QLabel it does not work.

if dob == '':

Did you check to see whether this can ever return the '' empty string? I don't think it can.

if the user leave a field empty

Could you explain how the user gets to leave a QDateEdit empty? I don't think he can.
