Detailed Description

A date edit.

A date picker is a line edit with support for date entry (using an icon and a calendar).

A WDateValidator is used to validate date entry.

In many cases, it provides a more convenient implementation of a date picker compared to WDatePicker since it is implemented as a line edit. This also makes the implementation ready for a native HTML5 control.

Member Function Documentation

WDate Wt::WDateEdit::bottom ( ) const

Returns the lower limit of the valid date range.

See also: setBottom()

WCalendar* Wt::WDateEdit::calendar ( ) const

Returns the calendar widget.

The calendar may be 0 (e.g. when using a native date entry widget).

WDate Wt::WDateEdit::date ( ) const

Returns the date.

Reads the current date.

Returns an invalid date (for which WDate::isValid() returns false) if the date could not be parsed using the current format().

See also: setDate(), WDate::fromString(), WLineEdit::text()

WString Wt::WDateEdit::format ( ) const

Returns the format.

See also: setFormat()

void Wt::WDateEdit::load ( )

virtual

Loads content just before the widget is used.

This method is called after a widget is inserted in the widget hierarchy and fully constructed, but before the widget is rendered. Widgets that get inserted in the widget hierarchy will be rendered. Visible widgets are rendered immediately, and invisible widgets in the back-ground (or not for a plain HTML session). This method is called when the widget is directly or indirectly inserted into the widget tree.

The default implementation simply propagates the load signal to its children. You may want to override this method to delay loading of resource-intensive contents.

During the life-time of a widget, this method may be called multiple times, so you should make sure that you do a deferred initializiation only once.

Reimplemented from Wt::WInteractWidget.

void Wt::WDateEdit::propagateSetEnabled ( bool enabled )

protectedvirtual

Propagates that a widget was enabled or disabled through children.

When enabling or disabling a widget, you usually also want to disable contained children. This method is called by setDisabled() to propagate its state to all children.

You may want to reimplement this method if they wish to render differently when a widget is disabled. The default implementation will propagate the signal to all children.

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

void Wt::WDateEdit::refresh ( )

virtual

Refresh the widget.

The refresh method is invoked when the locale is changed using WApplication::setLocale() or when the user hit the refresh button.

The widget must actualize its contents in response.

Note: This does *not* rerender the widget! Calling refresh() usually does not have any effect (unless you've reimplemented refresh() to attach to it an effect).

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

void Wt::WDateEdit::render ( WFlags< RenderFlag > flags )

protectedvirtual

Renders the widget.

This function renders the widget (or an update for the widget), after this has been scheduled using scheduleRender().

The default implementation will render the widget by serializing changes to JavaScript and HTML. You may want to reimplement this widget if you have been postponing some of the layout / rendering implementation until the latest moment possible. In that case you should make sure you call the base implementation however.

Reimplemented from Wt::WLineEdit.

void Wt::WDateEdit::setBottom ( const WDate & bottom )

Sets the lower limit of the valid date range.

This sets the lower limit of the valid date range in the validator.

See also: WDateValidator::setBottom()

void Wt::WDateEdit::setDate ( const WDate & date )

Sets the date.

Does nothing if the current date is Null.

See also: date()

void Wt::WDateEdit::setFormat ( const WString & format )

Sets the format used for representing the date.

This sets the format in the validator.

The default format is based on the current WLocale.

See also: WDateValidator::setFormat()

void Wt::WDateEdit::setTop ( const WDate & top )

Sets the upper limit of the valid date range.

This sets the upper limit of the valid date range in the validator.

See also: WDateValidator::setTop()

WDate Wt::WDateEdit::top ( ) const

Returns the upper limit of the valid range.

See also: setTop()

WDateValidator * Wt::WDateEdit::validator ( ) const

virtual

Returns the validator.

Most of the configuration of the date edit is stored in the validator.

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.
