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 setFormat().
QDateTimeEdit *dateEdit = new QDateTimeEdit(QDate::currentDate()); dateEdit->setMinimumDate(QDate::currentDate().addDays(-365)); dateEdit->setMaximumDate(QDate::currentDate().addDays(365)); dateEdit->setFormat("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. If the auto advance property is true (as we've set it here) when the user completes a section of the date, e.g. enters two digits for the month, they are automatically taken to the next section.
The maximum and minimum values for a date value in the date editor default to the maximum and minimum values for a QDate. You can change this by calling setMinimumDate(), setMaximumDate(), setMinimumTime(), and setMaximumTime().

The Sections typedef can store a combination of Section values.
This property holds the current section of the spinbox setCurrentSection().
Access functions:
This property holds the QDate that is set in the QDateTimeEdit.
Access functions:
See also setDate().
This property holds the QDateTime that is set in the QDateTimeEdit.
Access functions:
See also setDateTime().
This property holds the currently displayed fields of the date time edit.
Returns a bit set of the displayed sections for this format. setFormat(), format()
Access functions:
This property holds the format used to display the time/date of the date time edit.
This format is a subset of the format described in QDateTime::toString()
These expressions may be used:
Expression | Output |
---|---|
hh | the hour with a leading zero (00 to 23 or 01 to 12 if AM/PM display) |
mm | the minute with a leading zero (00 to 59) |
ss | the second whith a leading zero (00 to 59) |
zzz | the milliseconds with leading zeroes (000 to 999) |
AP | use AM/PM display. AP will be replaced by either "AM" or "PM". |
ap | use am/pm display. ap will be replaced by either "am" or "pm". |
dd | the day as number with a leading zero (01 to 31) |
MM | the month as number with a leading zero (01 to 12) |
MMM | the abbreviated localized month name (e.g. 'Jan' to 'Dec'). Uses QDate::shortMonthName(). |
yy | the year as two digit number (00 to 99) |
yyyy | the year as four digit number (1752 to 8000) |
All other input characters will be ignored and can be used as delimiters.
Example format strings (assuming that the QDate is the 20<sup><small>th</small></sup> July 1969):
Format | Result |
---|---|
dd.MM.yyyy | 20.07.1969 |
MMMM d yy | July 20 69 |
If you specify an invalid format the format will not be set.
Multiple instances of the same field is not allowed. E.g.
setFormat("yyyy.MM.yy"); // not allowed
a format with no valid fields is not allowed either. E.g.
setFormat("s.M.y"); // not allowed
Warning: Since QDateTimeEdit internally always operates on a QDateTime changing the format can change the minimum[Time|Date]s and the current[Time|Date]. E.g.
QDateTimeEdit edit(0); // format is "yyyy.MM.dd hh:mm:ss" edit.setMinimumDate(QDate(2000, 1, 1)); edit.setMaximumDate(QDate(2003, 1, 1)); edit.setDateTime(QDateTime(QDate(2002, 5, 5), QTime(10, 10, 10))); edit.setFormat("hh:mm:ss"); // edit can no longer display dates. This means that the // minimum and maximum date will be set to the current date, // e.g. 2002, 5, 5.
Access functions:
See also QDateTime::toString(), setFormat(), and display().
This property holds the maximum date of the date time edit.
When setting this property the QDateTimeEdit::minimumDate is adjusted if necessary to ensure that the range remains valid. If the date is not a valid QDate object, this function does nothing.
The default minimum value can be restored with clearMinimumDate().
Access functions:
See also setMinimumDate(), maximumDate(), setMaximumDate(), clearMinimumDate(), setMinimumTime(), maximumTime(), setMaximumTime(), clearMinimumTime(), setTimeRange(), setDateRange(), and QDate::isValid().
This property holds the maximum time of the date time edit.
When setting this property the QDateTimeEdit::maximumTime is adjusted if necessary to ensure that the range remains valid. If the time is not a valid QTime object, this function does nothing.
The default minimum value can be restored with clearMinimumDate().
Access functions:
See also setMinimumDate(), maximumDate(), setMaximumDate(), clearMinimumDate(), setMinimumTime(), maximumTime(), setMaximumTime(), clearMinimumTime(), setTimeRange(), setDateRange(), and QTime::isValid().
This property holds the minimum date of the date time edit.

This property holds the QTime that is set in the QDateTimeEdit.
Access functions:
See also setTime().
Constructs an empty date time editor with a parent. The format is set to "yyyy.MM.dd hh:mm:ss" by default.
Constructs an empty date time editor with a parent. The value is set to datetime. The format is set to "yyyy.MM.dd hh:mm:ss" by default.
Constructs an empty date time editor with a parent. The value is set to date. The format is set to "yyyy.MM.dd".
Constructs an empty date time editor with a parent. The value is set to time. The format is set to "hh:mm:ss".
This signal is emitted whenever the date is changed. The new date is passed in date.
This signal is emitted whenever the date or time is changed. The new date and time is passed in datetime.
This virtual function is used by the date time edit whenever it needs to display the date.
If you reimplement this, you may also need to reimplement mapTextToValue().
See also mapTextToValue().
This virtual function is used by the date time edit whenever it needs to interpret text entered by the user as a value. The user's text is passed in txt and the validator's state in state.
See also mapDateTimeToText().
Returns the text from the given section.
See also cleanText() and currentSection().
Convenience function to set minimum and maximum date with one function call.
setDateRange(min, max);
is analogous to:
setMinimumDate(min); setMaximumDate(max);
If either min or max are not valid, this function does nothing.
See also setMinimumDate(), maximumDate(), setMaximumDate(), clearMinimumDate(), setMinimumTime(), maximumTime(), setMaximumTime(), clearMinimumTime(), and QDate::isValid().
