It is a combination of the QDate and QTime classes. It can read the current datetime from the system clock. It provides functions for comparing datetimes and for manipulating a datetime by adding a number of seconds, days, months or years. +.PP +A QDateTime object is typically created either by giving a date and time explicitly in the constructor, or by using the static function currentDateTime(), which returns a QDateTime object set to the system clock's time. The date and time can be changed with setDate() and setTime(). A datetime can also be set using the setTime_t() function, which takes a POSIX-standard "number of seconds since 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970" value. The fromString() function returns a QDateTime given a string and a date format which is used to interpret the date within the string. +.PP +The date() and time() functions provide access to the date and time parts of the datetime. The same information is provided in textual format by the toString() function. +.PP +QDateTime provides a full set of operators to compare two QDateTime objects where smaller means earlier and larger means later. +.PP +You can increment (or decrement) a datetime by a given number of seconds using addSecs() or days using addDays(). Similarly you can use addMonths() and addYears(). The daysTo() function returns the number of days between two datetimes, and secsTo() returns the number of seconds between two datetimes. +.PP +The range of a datetime object is constrained to the ranges of the QDate and QTime objects which it embodies. +.PP +See also QDate, QTime, QDateTimeEdit, and Time and Date. +.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION +.SH "QDateTime::QDateTime ()" +Constructs a null datetime (i.e. null date and null time). A null datetime is invalid, since the date is invalid. +.PP +See also isValid(). +.SH "QDateTime::QDateTime ( const QDate & date )" +Constructs a datetime with date \fIdate\fR and null (but valid) time (00:00:00.000). +.SH "QDateTime::QDateTime ( const QDate & date, const QTime & time )" +Constructs a datetime with date \fIdate\fR and time \fItime\fR. +.SH "QDateTime QDateTime::addDays ( int ndays ) const" +Returns a QDateTime object containing a datetime \fIndays\fR days later than the datetime of this object (or earlier if \fIndays\fR is negative). +.PP +See also daysTo(), addMonths(), addYears(), and addSecs(). +.SH "QDateTime QDateTime::addMonths ( int nmonths ) const" +Returns a QDateTime object containing a datetime \fInmonths\fR months later than the datetime of this object (or earlier if \fInmonths\fR is negative). +.PP +See also daysTo(), addDays(), addYears(), and addSecs(). +.SH "QDateTime QDateTime::addSecs ( int nsecs ) const" +Returns a QDateTime object containing a datetime \fInsecs\fR seconds later than the datetime of this object (or earlier if \fInsecs\fR is negative). +.PP +See also secsTo(), addDays(), addMonths(), and addYears(). +.PP +Example: listviews/listviews.cpp. +.SH "QDateTime QDateTime::addYears ( int nyears ) const" +Returns a QDateTime object containing a datetime \fInyears\fR years later than the datetime of this object (or earlier if \fInyears\fR is negative). +.PP +See also daysTo(), addDays(), addMonths(), and addSecs(). +.SH "QDateTime QDateTime::currentDateTime ( Qt::TimeSpec ts )\fC [static]\fR" +Returns the current datetime, as reported by the system clock, for the TimeSpec \fIts\fR. The default TimeSpec is LocalTime. +.PP +See also QDate::currentDate(), QTime::currentTime(), and Qt::TimeSpec. +.PP +Example: listviews/listviews.cpp. +.SH "QDateTime QDateTime::currentDateTime ()\fC [static]\fR" +This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. +.PP +Returns the current datetime, as reported by the system clock. +.PP +See also QDate::currentDate() and QTime::currentTime(). +.SH "QDate QDateTime::date () const" +Returns the date part of the datetime. +.PP +See also setDate() and time(). +.SH "int QDateTime::daysTo ( const QDateTime & dt ) const" +Returns the number of days from this datetime to \fIdt\fR (which is negative if \fIdt\fR is earlier than this datetime). +.PP +See also addDays() and secsTo(). +.SH "QDateTime QDateTime::fromString ( const QString & s, Qt::DateFormat f = Qt::TextDate )\fC [static]\fR" +Returns the QDateTime represented by the string \fIs\fR, using the format \fIf\fR, or an invalid datetime if this is not possible. +.PP +Note for Qt::TextDate: It is recommended that you use the English short month names (e.g. "Jan"). Although localized month names can also be used, they depend on the user's locale settings. +.PP +\fBWarning:\fR Note that Qt::LocalDate cannot be used here. +.SH "bool QDateTime::isNull () const" +Returns TRUE if both the date and the time are null; otherwise returns FALSE. A null datetime is invalid. +.PP +See also QDate::isNull() and QTime::isNull(). +.SH "bool QDateTime::isValid () const" +Returns TRUE if both the date and the time are valid; otherwise returns FALSE. +.PP +See also QDate::isValid() and QTime::isValid(). +.SH "bool QDateTime::operator!= ( const QDateTime & dt ) const" +Returns TRUE if this datetime is different from \fIdt\fR; otherwise returns FALSE. +.PP +See also operator==(). +.SH "bool QDateTime::operator< ( const QDateTime & dt ) const" +Returns TRUE if this datetime is earlier than \fIdt\fR; otherwise returns FALSE. +.SH "bool QDateTime::operator<= ( const QDateTime & dt ) const" +Returns TRUE if this datetime is earlier than or equal to \fIdt\fR; otherwise returns FALSE. +.SH "bool QDateTime::operator== ( const QDateTime & dt ) const" +Returns TRUE if this datetime is equal to \fIdt\fR; otherwise returns FALSE. +.PP +See also operator!=(). +.SH "bool QDateTime::operator> ( const QDateTime & dt ) const" +Returns TRUE if this datetime is later than \fIdt\fR; otherwise returns FALSE. +.SH "bool QDateTime::operator>= ( const QDateTime & dt ) const" +Returns TRUE if this datetime is later than or equal to \fIdt\fR; otherwise returns FALSE. +.SH "int QDateTime::secsTo ( const QDateTime & dt ) const" +Returns the number of seconds from this datetime to \fIdt\fR (which is negative if \fIdt\fR is earlier than this datetime). +.PP +Example: +.PP +.nf +.br + QDateTime dt = QDateTime::currentDateTime(); +.br + QDateTime xmas( QDate(dt.date().year(),12,24), QTime(17,00) ); +.br + qDebug( "There are %d seconds to Christmas", dt.secsTo(xmas) ); +.br +.fi +.PP +See also addSecs(), daysTo(), and QTime::secsTo(). +.SH "void QDateTime::setDate ( const QDate & date )" +Sets the date part of this datetime to \fIdate\fR. +.PP +See also date() and setTime(). +.SH "void QDateTime::setTime ( const QTime & time )" +Sets the time part of this datetime to \fItime\fR. +.PP +See also time() and setDate(). +.SH "void QDateTime::setTime_t ( uint secsSince1Jan1970UTC, Qt::TimeSpec ts )" +Sets the date and time to \fIts\fR time (Qt::LocalTime or Qt::UTC) given the number of seconds that have passed since 1970-01-01T00:00:00, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
