QDateEdit read-only with calendar not r.o.

[lauranger]

Hi
When dateEditInstance->setReadOnly(true) is executed,
the dateEdit can not be changed by entering digits. This is ok.
But as the calendar was showable, it is still shown if user clicks
on the button. Can still be ok, but user should not be able
to change the date, in any way. Right ? As of 4.2.2, the user can
do it by the way of the calendar.
Anyone have noticed this behaviour ?
I've seen no bugs filed for this at the moment on trolltech task tracker.
Anyone can think of a lightest workaround ?
I'd say forbid calendar popup when set read-only false.
Thanks in advance.

To be able to show a read only calendar popup seems to require an ugly hack, but here it is..


class ReadOnlyDateEdit : public QDateEdit
{
public:
ReadOnlyDateEdit(QWidget* parent = 0)
: QDateEdit(parent), disconnected(false)
{
}

protected:
void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent* event)
{
QDateEdit::mousePressEvent(event);
if (!disconnected && calendarPopup())
{
QWidget* popup = findChild<QWidget*>("qt_datetimedit_calendar");
if (popup)
{
qDebug() << disconnect(popup, SIGNAL(newDateSelected(QDate)), this, SLOT(setDate(QDate)));
qDebug() << disconnect(popup, SIGNAL(hidingCalendar(QDate)), this, SLOT(setDate(QDate)));
qDebug() << disconnect(popup, SIGNAL(activated(QDate)), this, SLOT(setDate(QDate)));
}
}
}

private:
bool disconnected;
};
