Detailed Description
The QDateTimeEdit class provides a widget for editing dates and times.
QDateTimeEdit allows the user to edit dates by using the keyboard or the arrow keys to increase and decrease date and time values. The arrow keys can be used to move from section to section within the QDateTimeEdit box. Dates and times appear in accordance with the format set; see setDisplayFormat().
QDateTimeEdit *dateEdit = new QDateTimeEdit(QDate::currentDate()); dateEdit->setMinimumDate(QDate::currentDate().addDays(-365)); dateEdit->setMaximumDate(QDate::currentDate().addDays(365)); dateEdit->setDisplayFormat("yyyy.MM.dd");
Here we've created a new QDateTimeEdit object initialized with today's date, and restricted the valid date range to today plus or minus 365 days. We've set the order to month, day, year.
The minimum value for QDateTimeEdit is 14 September 1752. You can change this by calling setMinimumDate(), taking into account that the minimum value for QDate is 2 January 4713BC.
Other useful functions are setMaximumDate(), setMinimumTime() and setMaximumTime().
Using a Pop-up Calendar Widget
QDateTimeEdit can be configured to allow a QCalendarWidget to be used to select dates. This is enabled by setting the calendarPopup property. Additionally, you can supply a custom calendar widget for use as the calendar pop-up by calling the setCalendarWidget() function. The existing calendar widget can be retrieved with calendarWidget().
See also QDateEdit, QTimeEdit, QDate, and QTime.

Property Documentation
calendarPopup : bool
This property holds the current calendar pop-up show mode.
The calendar pop-up will be shown upon clicking the arrow button. This property is valid only if there is a valid date display format.
This property was introduced in Qt 4.2.
Access functions:
bool | calendarPopup() const |
void | setCalendarPopup(bool enable) |
See also setDisplayFormat().
currentSection : Section
This property holds the current section of the spinbox setCurrentSection()
Access functions:
Section | currentSection() const |
void | setCurrentSection(Section section) |
currentSectionIndex : int
This property holds the current section index of the spinbox
If the format is 'yyyy/MM/dd', the displayText is '2001/05/21', and the cursorPosition is 5, currentSectionIndex returns 1. If the cursorPosition is 3, currentSectionIndex is 0, and so on.
setCurrentSection()
This property was introduced in Qt 4.3.
Access functions:
int | currentSectionIndex() const |
void | setCurrentSectionIndex(int index) |
See also currentSection().
date : QDate
This property holds the QDate that is set in the widget
By default, this property contains a date that refers to January 1, 2000.
Access functions:
QDate | date() const |
void | setDate(const QDate &date) |
Notifier signal:
void | dateChanged(const QDate &date) |
dateTime : QDateTime
This property holds the QDateTime that is set in the QDateTimeEdit
When setting this property the timespec of the QDateTimeEdit remains the same and the timespec of the new QDateTime is ignored.
By default, this property contains a date that refers to January 1, 2000 and a time of 00:00:00 and 0 milliseconds.
Access functions:
QDateTime | dateTime() const |
void | setDateTime(const QDateTime &dateTime) |
Notifier signal:

displayFormat : QString
This property holds the format used to display the time/date of the date time edit
This format is described in QDateTime::toString() and QDateTime::fromString()
Example format strings (assuming that the date is 2nd of July 1969):
Format | Result |
---|---|
dd.MM.yyyy | 02.07.1969 |
MMM d yy | Jul 2 69 |
MMMM d yy | July 2 69 |
Note that if you specify a two digit year, it will be interpreted to be in the century in which the date time edit was initialized. The default century is the 21 (2000-2099).
If you specify an invalid format the format will not be set.
Access functions:
QString | displayFormat() const |
void | setDisplayFormat(const QString &format) |
See also QDateTime::toString() and displayedSections().
