[Kstars-devel] ExtDateEdit

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

I am looking at the problem with ExtDateEdit that Jasem mentioned.  I have 
found a few problems, but have not been able to fix everything yet.  The big 
mystery at this point is that somehow the "text" property is getting reset to 
an empty string, even though the "value" property is a valid Julian Day.  

The text property is a valid date string when the window is constructed, but 
sometime after that, it gets reset to an empty string.  I haven't tracked it 
down yet.  Must go to bed now, unfortunately.

BTW, one problem I have found is that when you use the Qt designer "promote" 
feature to make a QSpinbox into a ExtDateEdit, the ExtDateEdit inherits the 
(incorrect) minimum/maximum values of the QSpinbox (0-99 by default).  I 
fixed this in my local copy by calling setRange(-20000000,20000000) for both 
StartDateBox and EndDateBox in lcgenerator.cpp.  I haven't committed this fix 
yet, though.  I'm hoping to find a better solution.

Jason
