use LibUI ':all';
Init && die;
my $window = LibUI::Window->new( 'Schedule an Event', 320, 100, 0 );
$window->setMargined( 1 );
my $box = LibUI::VBox->new();
my $date = LibUI::TimePicker->new();
$box->append( $date, 0 );
$date->setTime( Time::Piece->new + ( 30 * 60 ) ); # Half hour from now
$date->onChanged(

$window->show;
Main();

DESCRIPTION

A LibUI::TimePicker object represents a control used to enter a time.

All functions operate on struct tm as defined in <time.h> which is wrapped by LibUI::Time.

All functions assume local time and do NOT perform any time zone conversions.

Functions

Not a lot here but... well, it's just a simple widget.

new( )

my $dt = LibUI::TimePicker->new( );

Creates a new time picker.

onChanged( ... )

$date->onChanged(
sub {
my ($ctrl, $data) = @_;
warn $ctrl->time;
}, undef);

Registers a callback for when the time picker value is changed by the user.

Expected parameters include:

$callback - CodeRef that should expect the following:
$date - backreference to the instance that initiated the callback
$data - user data registered with the sender instance
$data - user data to be passed to the callback

Note: The callback is not triggered when calling setTime( ... ).

time( ... )

warn scalar $date->time;

Returns time stored in the time picker.

By default, this returns a Time::Piece object.

setTime( ... )

$date->setTime( localtime );

Sets date and time of the time picker.

You may pass a Time::Piece object or a LibUI::Time structure.
