## Description

## Details

### e_date_edit_new ()

    GtkWidget *         e_date_edit_new                     (void);

Creates a new EDateEdit widget which can be used to provide an easy to use way for entering dates and times.

Returns : | a new EDateEdit widget.

### e_date_edit_set_editable ()

    void                e_date_edit_set_editable            (EDateEdit *dedit,
                                                             gboolean editable);

Allows the programmer to disallow editing (and the popping up of the calendar widget), while still allowing the user to select the date from the GtkEntry.

`dedit` : | an EDateEdit
`editable` : | whether or not the widget should accept edits.

### e_date_edit_date_is_valid ()

    gboolean            e_date_edit_date_is_valid           (EDateEdit *dedit);

Returns TRUE if the last date entered was valid.

Note that if this returns FALSE, you can still use `e_date_edit_get_time()` or `e_date_edit_get_date()` to get the last time or date entered which was valid.

`dedit` : | an EDateEdit
Returns : | TRUE if the last date entered was valid.

### e_date_edit_time_is_valid ()

    gboolean            e_date_edit_time_is_valid           (EDateEdit *dedit);

Returns TRUE if the last time entered was valid.

Note that if this returns FALSE, you can still use `e_date_edit_get_time()` or `e_date_edit_get_time_of_day()` to get the last time or time of the day entered which was valid.

`dedit` : | an EDateEdit
Returns : | TRUE if the last time entered was valid.

### e_date_edit_get_time ()

    time_t              e_date_edit_get_time                (EDateEdit *dedit);

Returns the last valid time entered. If empty times are valid, by calling `e_date_edit_set_allow_no_date_set()`, then it may return -1.

Note that the last time entered may actually have been invalid. You can check this with `e_date_edit_time_is_valid()`.

`dedit` : | an EDateEdit
Returns : | the last valid time entered, or -1 if the time is not set.

### e_date_edit_set_time ()

    void                e_date_edit_set_time                (EDateEdit *dedit,
                                                             time_t the_time);

Changes the displayed date and time in the EDateEdit widget to be the one represented by `the_time`. If `the_time` is 0 then current time is used. If it is -1, then the date is set to None.

Note that the time is converted to local time using the Unix timezone, so if you are using your own timezones then you should use `e_date_edit_set_date()` and `e_date_edit_set_time_of_day()` instead.

`dedit` : | an EDateEdit
`the_time` : | The time and date that should be set on the widget

### e_date_edit_get_date ()

    gboolean            e_date_edit_get_date                (EDateEdit *dedit,

Returns the last valid date entered into the date field.

`dedit` : | an EDateEdit
`year` : | returns the year set.

Returns TRUE if the time field is made insensitive instead of hiding it.

`dedit` : | an EDateEdit
Returns : | Whether the time field is be made insensitive instead of hiding it.

### e_date_edit_set_make_time_insensitive ()

    void                e_date_edit_set_make_time_insensitive
                                                            (EDateEdit *dedit,

Specifies whether the time field should be made insensitive rather than hiding it. Note that this doesn't make it insensitive - you need to call `e_date_edit_set_show_time()` with FALSE as show_time to do that.

This is useful if you want to disable the time field, but don't want it to disappear as that may affect the layout of the widgets.

`dedit` : | an EDateEdit
`make_insensitive` : | TRUE if the time field should be made insensitive instead of hiding it.
