DESCRIPTION
       The QDateEdit class provides a date editor.

       QDateEdit allows the user to edit dates by using the keyboard or the
       arrow keys to increase/decrease date values. The arrow keys can be used
       to move from section to section within the QDateEdit box. Dates appear
       in accordance with the local date/time settings or in year, month, day
       order if the system doesn't provide this information. It is recommended
       that the QDateEdit be initialised with a date, e.g.

	   QDateEdit *dateEdit = new QDateEdit( QDate::currentDate(), this );
	   dateEdit->setRange( QDate::currentDate().addDays( -365 ),
			       QDate::currentDate().addDays(  365 ) );
	   dateEdit->setOrder( QDateEdit::MDY );
	   dateEdit->setAutoAdvance( TRUE );

       Here we've created a new QDateEdit object initialised 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 setMinValue(), setMaxValue() or setRange().

       Terminology: A QDateEdit widget comprises three 'sections', one each
       for the year, month and day. You can change the separator character
       using QDateTimeEditor::setSeparator(), by default the separator will be
       taken from the systems settings. If that is not possible, it defaults
       to "-".

   Member Type Documentation
QDateEdit::Order
       This enum defines the order in which the sections that comprise a date
       appear.

       QDateEdit::MDY - month-day-year

       QDateEdit::DMY - day-month-year

       QDateEdit::YMD - year-month-day (the default)

       QDateEdit::YDM - year-day-month (included for completeness; but should
       not be used)

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QDateEdit::QDateEdit ( QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs an empty date editor which is a child of parent and called
       name name.

QDateEdit::QDateEdit ( const QDate & date, QWidget * parent = 0, const char *
       name = 0 )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Constructs a date editor with the initial value date, parent parent and
       called name.

       The date editor is initialized with date.

QDateEdit::~QDateEdit ()
       Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.

bool QDateEdit::autoAdvance () const
       Returns TRUE if the editor automatically advances to the next section;
       otherwise returns FALSE. See the "autoAdvance" property for details.

QDate QDateEdit::date () const
       Returns the editor's date value. See the "date" property for details.

void QDateEdit::fix () [virtual protected]
       Attempts to fix any invalid date entries.

       The rules applied are as follows:

       If the year has four digits it is left unchanged.

       If the year has two digits, the year will be changed to four digits in
       the range current year - 70 to current year + 29.

       If the year has three digits in the range 100..999, the current
       millennium, i.e. 2000, will be added giving a year in the range
       2100..2999.

       If the day or month is 0 then it will be set to 1 or the minimum valid
       day\month in the range.

QDate QDateEdit::maxValue () const
       Returns the editor's maximum value. See the "maxValue" property for
       details.

QDate QDateEdit::minValue () const
       Returns the editor's minimum value. See the "minValue" property for
       details.

Order QDateEdit::order () const
       Returns the order in which the year, month and day appear. See the
       "order" property for details.

QString QDateEdit::sectionFormattedText ( int sec ) [virtual protected]
       Returns the formatted number for section sec. This will correspond to
       either the year, month or day section, depending on the current display
       order.

       See also order.

QString QDateEdit::separator () const
       Returns the editor's separator.

void QDateEdit::setAutoAdvance ( bool advance ) [virtual]
       Sets whether the editor automatically advances to the next section to
       advance. See the "autoAdvance" property for details.

void QDateEdit::setDate ( const QDate & date ) [virtual slot]
       Sets the editor's date value to date. See the "date" property for
       details.

void QDateEdit::setDay ( int day ) [virtual protected]
       Sets the day to day, which must be a valid day. The function will
       ensure that the day set is valid for the month and year.

void QDateEdit::setMaxValue ( const QDate & d ) [virtual]
       Sets the editor's maximum value to d. See the "maxValue" property for
       details.

void QDateEdit::setMinValue ( const QDate & d ) [virtual]
       Sets the editor's minimum value to d. See the "minValue" property for
       details.

void QDateEdit::setMonth ( int month ) [virtual protected]
       Sets the month to month, which must be a valid month, i.e. between 1
       and 12.

void QDateEdit::setOrder ( Order order ) [virtual]
       Sets the order in which the year, month and day appear to order. See
       the "order" property for details.

void QDateEdit::setRange ( const QDate & min, const QDate & max ) [virtual]
       Sets the valid input range for the editor to be from min to max
       inclusive. If min is invalid no minimum date will be set. Similarly, if
       max is invalid no maximum date will be set.

void QDateEdit::setSeparator ( const QString & s ) [virtual]
       Sets the separator to s. Note that currently only the first character
       of s is used.

void QDateEdit::setYear ( int year ) [virtual protected]
       Sets the year to year, which must be a valid year. The range currently
       supported is from 1752 to 8000.

       See also QDate.

void QDateEdit::updateButtons () [protected slot]
       Enables/disables the push buttons according to the min/max date for
       this widget.

void QDateEdit::valueChanged ( const QDate & date ) [signal]
       This signal is emitted whenever the editor's value changes. The date
       parameter is the new value.

   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 date 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().

QDate date
       This property holds the editor's date value.

       If the date property is not valid, the editor displays all zeroes and
       QDateEdit::date() will return an invalid date. It is strongly
       recommended that the editor is given a default date value (e.g.
       currentDate()). That way, attempts to set the date property to an
       invalid date will fail.

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

       Set this property's value with setDate() and get this property's value
       with date().

QDate maxValue
       This property holds the editor's maximum value.

       Setting the maximum date value for the editor is equivalent to calling
       QDateEdit::setRange( minValue(), d ), where d is the maximum date. The
       default maximum date is 8000-12-31.

       See also minValue and setRange().

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

QDate minValue
       This property holds the editor's minimum value.

       Setting the minimum date value is equivalent to calling
       QDateEdit::setRange( d, maxValue() ), where d is the minimum date. The
       default minimum date is 1752-09-14.

       See also maxValue and setRange().

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

Order order
       This property holds the order in which the year, month and day appear.

       The default order is locale dependent.

       See also Order.

       Set this property's value with setOrder() and get this property's value
       with order().
