It does not +recognize dates prior to 14 Oct 1752 (when the Gregorian calendar +was adopted by England), nor dates after 31 Dec 8000. Both of these +limits are arbitrary. + + +The following classes are included: + +ExtDate: Replaces QDate. There is no restriction on what dates +may be entered. For dates in the valid QDate range, it is +completely equivalent to QDate. + +ExtDateTime: Replaces QDateTime. Consists of a QTime object +and an ExtDate object. + +ExtCalendarSystem: Replaces KCalendarSystem. Uses ExtDate instead +of QDate. ExtCalendarSystem is a baseclass foundation for several +different calendar systems. A "calendar system" is just a method for +hierarchically subdividing the long count of days known as the Julian +Day Calendar into groups (weeks, months, years). + +ExtCalendarSystemGregorian: Replaces KCalendarSystemGregorian. +The most common calendar system in modern western societies is the +Gregorian calendar. This class implements the Gregorian calendar +as a ExtCalendarSystem. + +ExtDateTable: Replaces KDateTable. +ExtDatePicker: Replaces KDatePicker. +ExtDateTimeEdit: Replaces QDateTimeEdit. +ExtDateWidget: Replaces KDateWidget. + +There are two test programs with the library, to verify the +functionality of the ExtDate classes: + +test_extdate tests the non-GUI functionality, comparing results of +several operations with the results from QDate. + +test_extdatepicker presents a KDatePicker widget and an ExtDatePicker +widget side-by-side. -- cgit v1.2.1
