DESCRIPTION
The QDateTimeEdit class combines a QDateEdit and QTimeEdit widget into
a single widget for editing datetimes.
QDateTimeEdit consists of a QDateEdit and QTimeEdit widget placed side
by side and offers the functionality of both. The user can edit the
date and time by using the keyboard or the arrow keys to
increase/decrease date or time values. The Tab key can be used to move
from section to section within the QDateTimeEdit widget, and the user
can be moved automatically when they complete a section using
setAutoAdvance(). The datetime can be set with setDateTime().
The date format is read from the system's locale settings. It is set to
year, month, day order if that is not possible. See
QDateEdit::setOrder() to change this. Times appear in the order hours,
minutes, seconds using the 24 hour clock.
It is recommended that the QDateTimeEdit is initialised with a
datetime, e.g.
QDateTimeEdit *dateTimeEdit = new QDateTimeEdit( QDateTime::currentDateTime(), this );
dateTimeEdit->dateEdit()->setRange( QDateTime::currentDate(),
QDateTime::currentDate().addDays( 7 ) );
Here we've created a new QDateTimeEdit set to the current date and
time, and set the date to have a minimum date of now and a maximum date
of a week from now.
Terminology: A QDateEdit widget consists of three 'sections', one each
for the year, month and day. Similarly a QTimeEdit consists of three
sections, one each for the hour, minute and second. The character that
separates each date section is specified with setDateSeparator();
similarly setTimeSeparator() is used for the time sections.

0, const char * name = 0 )
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It

QDateTimeEdit::~QDateTimeEdit ()
Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.
bool QDateTimeEdit::autoAdvance () const
Returns TRUE if auto-advance is enabled, otherwise returns FALSE.
