date time to qtextedit??

[jano_alex_es]

Ok... is this?

//we already have a QDateTimeEdit called "myDateTimeEdit"
QDateTime datetime = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
myDateTimeEdit.setDateTime(datetime);

//we already have a QDateTimeEdit called "myDateTimeEdit"
QDateTime datetime = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
myDateTimeEdit.setDateTime(datetime);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the point I don't understand is a "QDateTimeEdit into a QTextEdit"

This might be what you are after:

// get the value from the edit
QDateTime dateTime = dateTimeEdit.dateTime;
// format with the same format as the date time edit 
QString timeDateString = dateTime.toString(dateTimeEdit.displayFormat());
// do stuff with the time/date string
...

// get the value from the edit
QDateTime dateTime = dateTimeEdit.dateTime;
// format with the same format as the date time edit 
QString timeDateString = dateTime.toString(dateTimeEdit.displayFormat());
// do stuff with the time/date string
...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

G'day Jano and Chris

YES that is exactly what i was after

QDateTime datetime1 = QDateTime::currentDateTime(); //sets QDateTimeEdit to today.
dateTimeEdit->setDateTime(datetime1);

QDateTime datetime2 = dateTimeEdit->dateTime(); //prints QDateTimeEdit to textEdit
QString timeDateString = datetime2.toString(dateTimeEdit->displayFormat());
textEdit->append(timeDateString); |
Chris you show a full stop here but when i press fullstop i get this automatically.
i did not know this to till now.

At the moment i am just trying out how the various widgets interconnect.
am now going to attack QTable ect.

using Qt Creator 1.2.1 Qt4.5.2 (64bit) on kde4.3.1

THANK YOU THANK YOU both

Qt Creator is the ants pants.

regards to you both
Brian.
