The Eclipse Nebula project has grown a lot in the last few months and it now includes an impressive collection of widgets, including a slick looking date and time picker. For the uninitiated, Nebula is a project where new widgets that complement SWT are created.
Nebula’s CDataTime widget is pretty slick looking, and is pretty intuitive to use.
This is what it looks like when you only care about the date. When you care about the time, it shows an analog clock:
You can choose to show either one or both parts (depending on the information that you need).
The widget is pretty robust, but it’s missing a few features that I’d like to have, so I’m going to try an submit a patch or two. The Mylar folks are also looking at this widget with an interest in integrating it into their stuff.
Happy Robbie Burns Day to all. Gie her a Haggis! and all that…
