    Hello,
    I try to convert a date selected by QtQuick.Controls 1.4 calendar to a QDate. My function is:

    void Unlock::setLimitDate(const QString &limitDate)
    {
        QDate date = QDate::fromString(limitDate, "ddd MMM d hh:mm:ss YYYY Z");
        ...
    }
    

    When I enter in the function, limitDate is: "ven. déc. 27 12:00:00 2019 GMT+0100" and created date is invalid.
    I though it could come from the localisation despite the doc says it should work or maybe from the timezone but even if I write:

    QDate date = QDate::fromString("mon. dec. 23 12:00:00 2019", "ddd MMM d hh:mm:ss YYYY");
    

    I cannot get it working. What's wrong?

      Why do you pass it as QString instead a QDate/QDateTime which for sure is provided to you from QtLabs Calendar

        I do not use qtlabs calendar because I wasn't able to instantiate it in Qt Design, I always get "Invalid property name 'x' (M16) (line 117)".
        So I use QtQuick.Controls 1.4 calendar isntead which only provides the date in that format AFAIK.

            I found my way.

            I don't know where is the doc about calendar.selectedDate but I found what I need in the QtQuickControls 1 - Calendar example.
