@#include<lcdtd.h>
#include<QtGui>

lcdtd::lcdtd(QLCDNumber *parent):QLCDNumber(parent)
{
setWindowTitle("Time And Date");
QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
connect(timer,SIGNAL(timeout()),this,SLOT(showDate()));
QTimer *timex = new QTimer(this);
connect(timex,SIGNAL(timeout()),this,SLOT(showTime()));
timex->start(1000);

resize(200,200);
setDigitCount(10);

void lcdtd::showDate()

QDate date = QDate::currentDate();

QString tex= date.toString("dd.MM.yyyy");
this->display(tex);

QString text= time.toString("hh:mm:ss ap");

bq. this->display(tex);

I guess "display()" overrides the previous input in the QLCDNumber and what will be shown will be the last one. Why not use QDateTime, instead of separate QDate and QTime?

Your solution is very right. But is there any way to use both QDate and QTime and display both of them in a same window??

something crude and very simple would be this above.

More sophisticated when you are holding somewhere the converted date and reuse.

Also you can use "QDateTime":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qdatetime.html#currentDateTime there is also "toString":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qdatetime.html#toString available
