[Kde-pim] KTimeChooser time editing widget

[Michael Leupold]

Hi,

a while ago I took up Allen's request to make KPIM::KTimeEdit ready for 
kdelibs. I named the new one KTimeChooser as it seemed more appropriate. The 
current outcome can be found here and needs a current trunk to compile 
(r1006747, one week ago):
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/ui/ktimewidgets

Please check if you're happy with it.


It contains an example application that shows the widget and allows you to 
set its properties. The features are pretty similar to KPIM::KTimeEdit:
- Combox-box to choose time
- manual time-entry in locale-defined, "regular" 24h and military format
- automatic fixup on pressing enter or loosing focus
- display with or without seconds
- modify time using Up/Down, PgUp/PgDown
- missing so far: configurable intervals between the selectable times

The last feature mimicks KPIM::KTimeEdit's keyboard entry (Up/Down modifies 
minutes, PgUp/PgDown modifies hours). I'd rather see it work like QTimeEdit 
(Up/Down edits current cursor position, PgUp/PgDown is fast-forward on 
current cursor position) but that's up for discussion.

I've already had a discussion with usability folks and apart from the hard-
coded intervals and Maciej not liking the combobox idea I had no complaints 
(I didn't discuss the latter further as I like the combobox :-)).

There's also a KTimeEdit which uses the same validator and is more of a by-
product. Usability people weren't that happy with it so I currently don't 
plan to push that one (too much work to implement their ideas and too little 
time).

Regards,
Michael
