QTimeEdit Class Reference

Detailed Description

QTimeEdit allows the user to edit times by using the keyboard or the arrow keys to increase/decrease time values. The arrow keys can be used to move from section to section within the QTimeEdit box. The user can automatically be moved to the next section once they complete a section using setAutoAdvance(). Times appear in hour, minute, second order. It is recommended that the QTimeEdit is initialised with a time, e.g.

    QTime timeNow = QTime::currentTime();
    QTimeEdit *timeEdit = new QTimeEdit( timeNow, this );
    timeEdit->setRange( timeNow, timeNow.addSecs( 60 * 60 ) );
    

The maximum and minimum values for a time value in the time editor default to the maximum and minimum values for a QTime. You can change this by calling setMinValue(), setMaxValue() or setRange().

Terminology: A QTimeWidget consists of three sections, one each for the hour, minute and second. You can change the separator character using setSeparator(), by default the separator is read from the system's settings.

Property Documentation

bool autoAdvance

This property holds whether the editor automatically advances to the next section.

If autoAdvance is TRUE, the editor will automatically advance focus to the next time section if a user has completed a section. The default is FALSE.

Set this property's value with setAutoAdvance() and get this property's value with autoAdvance().

QTime maxValue

This property holds the maximum time value.

Setting the maximum time value is equivalent to calling QTimeEdit::setRange( minValue(), t ), where t is the maximum time. The default maximum time is 23:59:59.

See also minValue and setRange().

Set this property's value with setMaxValue() and get this property's value with maxValue().

QTime minValue

This property holds the minimum time value.

Setting the minimum time value is equivalent to calling QTimeEdit::setRange( t, maxValue() ), where t is the minimum time. The default minimum time is 00:00:00.

See also maxValue and setRange().

Set this property's value with setMinValue() and get this property's value with minValue().

QTime time

This property holds the editor's time value.

When changing the time property, if the time is less than minValue(), or is greater than maxValue(), nothing happens.

Set this property's value with setTime() and get this property's value with time().
