    Main();

DESCRIPTION

A LibUI::DatePicker object represents a control used to enter a date.

All functions operate on struct tm as defined in <time.h> which is wrapped by LibUI::Time.

All functions assume local time and do NOT perform any time zone conversions.

Functions

Not a lot here but... well, it's just a simple widget.

new( )

    my $dt = LibUI::DatePicker->new( );

Creates a new date picker.

onChanged( ... )

    $date->onChanged(
    sub {
        my ($ctrl, $data) = @_;
        warn $ctrl->time;
    }, undef);

Registers a callback for when the date picker value is changed by the user.

Expected parameters include:

$callback - CodeRef that should expect the following:

$date - backreference to the instance that initiated the callback

$data - user data registered with the sender instance

$data - user data to be passed to the callback

Note: The callback is not triggered when calling setTime( ... ).

time( ... )

    warn scalar $date->time;

Returns date stored in the date picker.

By default, this returns a Time::Piece object.

setTime( ... )

    $date->setTime( localtime );

Sets date of the date picker.

You may pass a Time::Piece object or a LibUI::Time structure.
