Is there any DatePicker control for Qt 5?

I'm writing my first QML/Javascript app for QtQuick 2.0. I need to place a DatePicker control, but I haven't found any control like that under QtQuick.Controls -and nowhere, in fact-.

I'm starting to believe there is no way to call a 'native' DatePicker in QML. Do I have to implement one or there is exist one?

Solution

  • Well, I had to make my own control. It is called Datepicker.

    Datepicker example

    It is intented to used in this way:

    import QtQuick.Controls 1.1

ApplicationWindow {
    id: main

    Datepicker {
        id: myDate
        activeWindow: main
        width: 200
    }
}

    It asumes you are using it from a Window object, and needs the parent reference to show the datepicker in the correct position (it shows a calendar in a new window).

    You can download the source code from: https://bitbucket.org/camolin3/datepicker

    This is the first version and need a lot of polish to be ready, but is a start point.
