Calendar in Qt via QML(Solved)

JapieKrekel

Hi,

I have difficulties trying to understanding your question.
What excactly do you want to add to the calander example you posted?

What do you mean with 'set the date'? changing the date/time of the system, or clicking on a day in the calander and then show something?

Assuming you mean clicking on a day in the calander, you need to add a MouseArea to it so you can click it, and then do something.
I tried your example, there is a bug on line 82, so I commented it out.
I added a MouseArea at line 174 to show the data of that day on the debug console.

@
...
Item {
id: dateGrid
width: parent.width
anchors.top: dayLabels.bottom
anchors.topMargin: 5
anchors.bottom: parent.bottom

Grid {
columns: 7
rows: dateLabels.rows
spacing: 10

Repeater {
model: firstDay + daysInMonth

Rectangle {

color: {
 if (index < firstDay)
  calendar.color="green";
 else
 {
  if(isToday(index-firstDay))
   color="yellow";
  else
   color="#eeeeee"
 }
 // isToday(index - firstDay) ? "#ffffdd" : "#eeeeee";
}
width: (calendar.width - 20 - 60)/7
height: (dateGrid.height - (dateLabels.rows - 1)*10)/dateLabels.rows

Text {
 anchors.centerIn: parent
 text: index + 1 - firstDay
 opacity: (index < firstDay) ? 0 : 1
 font.bold: isToday(index - firstDay)
}

MouseArea {
 anchors.fill: parent
 onClicked: {
  var clickedDate = new Date( showDate.getFullYear(), showDate.getMonth() + 1, index + 1 - firstDay)
  console.log(clickedDate) }
 
}

}
}
}
}
...

If you mean something else, please clarify your question.

Much pleased with your reply..Actually i want to show calendar popup on clicking one button.That calendar should support system calendar..Suppose if i clicked any of the date means,it should show its day,month,year and time...I too worked your mouseclick which you have added,but its not working...Now you understand...Could you please find out the solution..below is the output..And i dont know how to insert my picture which i got as output...

actionking

Very much thanks ,
It works.......What i have expected....But need to do some changes...If i click any date means,its color should change...I'm working....If any query means,i will ask u boss.thanks a lot

JapieKrekel

I'm glad 'it works'.

I do not know if you need any further help, I find it very hard to understand your replies.

So I'm guessing here, don't know if this is what you're looking for. If you want to change the color when the mouse is pressed and change it back when released the easiest in that case would be to give the mouse area an id and then use the mousearea pressed property to change the rectangle color.

On line 20 I added a property to 'remember' the original color.

I noticed that on line 6 you do color: "#303030" and later you do calendar.color="green", why don't you set the color of the calendar to "green" directly?

Please let me know if I can do anything else for you.

actionking

thanks boss..If i put that "green" color in starting itself means...Only for the current month,it will be working..If we pressed next icon means green color will be changed to some other color(defaultly "white"...I guess it so)
Actually i want to display the date in the format (dd/mm/YYYY)..How to do it...
Very pleased....

JapieKrekel

You should be able to use
@
console.log(Qt.formatDate(clickedDate, "dd/MM/yyyy"))
@

to do that.

actionking

thank you sir for your immediate response.....But another problem arises..If i clicked new date means,it should come to Bold letter(yellow color)..Likewise if i clicked some other date means,now it should become bold letter and previous clicked date should go to normal one.

JapieKrekel

I should say that the code is becoming a little bit ugly. I would use a component with states for each day rectangle, but to illustrate how it can be done here an example.

I'm happy to help, but I get the feeling you're a bit unexperienced in QML, maybe it is wise to first do some reading "QML intro":http://qt.digia.com/Product/Learning/Education/elearning/online-training/Qt-Essentials---Qt-Quick-Edition/#.UatX1EA5nfI

Thank you sir,
Whatever you have said,its right...Ya i have been working in Qml for quite 1 and half month only.....Not bit inexperienced..more inexperienced.....again problem arises...if i clicked new date means,it becomes yellow and the date becomes inisible, its showing correct date...But after clicking another date,previous clicked date too in same yellow colr and clicked date becomes invisible....what can i do?I'm trying sir....

Glad to help, if all is done, please close all your topics about the calander with [Solved] in front of the title. I believe you posted three of them.
