## Detailed Description

This class is a combination of OFDate and OFTime.

Note
  Please note that support for the leap second is limited: a value of 60 seconds is accepted (i.e. regarded as valid) but calculations based on such a time value might be incorrect.

## Member Function Documentation

## clear()

virtual void OFDateTime::clear | ( |  | ) |

virtual

reset the date/time value.

Sets all date and all time components to '0'. NB: Date becomes invalid.

## getCurrentDateTime()

OFDateTime OFDateTime::getCurrentDateTime | ( |  | ) |

static

get the current system date and time

Returns
  date/time object with the current system date and time set

References OFDateTime().

## getDate()

const OFDate & OFDateTime::getDate | ( |  | ) | const

get the current date component

Returns
  reference to date object

## getISOFormattedDateTime()

OFBool OFDateTime::getISOFormattedDateTime | ( | OFString & | formattedDateTime,
|  | const OFBool | showSeconds = OFTrue,
|  | const OFBool | showFraction = OFFalse,
|  | const OFBool | showTimeZone = OFFalse,
|  | const OFBool | showDelimiter = OFTrue,
|  | const OFString & | dateTimeSeparator = " ",
|  | const OFString & | timeZoneSeparator = " " ) const

get the current date/time value in ISO format.

The two ISO time formats supported by this function are

- "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS[.FFFFFF]] [&ZZ:ZZ]" (with delimiters) and
- "YYYYMMDDHHMM[SS[.FFFFFF]][&ZZZZ]" (without delimiters, useful for DICOM datetime type) where the brackets enclose optional parts.
  Parameters

    formattedDateTime | reference to string variable where the result is stored
    showSeconds | add optional seconds (":SS" or "SS") to the resulting string if OFTrue
    showFraction | add optional fractional part of a second (".FFFFFF") if OFTrue. Requires parameter 'seconds' to be also OFTrue.
    showTimeZone | add optional time zone ("&ZZ:ZZ" or "&ZZZZ") to the resulting string if OFTrue. The time zone indicates the offset from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in hours and minutes. The "&" is a placeholder for the sign symbol ("+" or "-").
    showDelimiter | flag, indicating whether to use delimiters ("-", ":" and " ") or not
    dateTimeSeparator | separator between ISO date and time value. Only used if 'showDelimiter' is true.
    timeZoneSeparator | separator between ISO time value and time zone. Only used if 'showDelimiter' is true.

  Returns
    OFTrue if result variable has been set, OFFalse otherwise

## getTime()

const OFTime & OFDateTime::getTime | ( |  | ) | const

get the current time component

Returns
  reference to time object

## isValid()

virtual OFBool OFDateTime::isValid | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

check whether the currently stored date and time value is valid.

See classes OFDate and OFTime for details.

Returns
  OFTrue if the current value is valid, OFFalse otherwise

## operator!=()

virtual OFBool OFDateTime::operator!= | ( | const OFDateTime & | dateTime | ) | const

virtual

comparison operator (unequal).

Please note that the time values are first transformed to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) before they are compared. However, the special case that there is an "overflow" from one day to another is currently not handled.

Parameters

  dateTime | date and time value compared with the current value

Returns
  OFTrue if given date or time is unequal, OFFalse otherwise

References OFDateTime().

## operator<()

virtual OFBool OFDateTime::operator< | ( | const OFDateTime & | dateTime | ) | const

Please note that the time values are first transformed to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) before they are compared. However, the special case that there is an "overflow" from one day to another is currently not handled.

Parameters

  dateTime | date and time value compared with the current value

Returns
  OFTrue if current date and time is earlier than the given value, OFFalse otherwise

References OFDateTime().

## operator<=()

virtual OFBool OFDateTime::operator<= | ( | const OFDateTime & | dateTime | ) | const

virtual

comparison operator (less than or equal).

Please note that the time values are first transformed to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) before they are compared. However, the special case that there is an "overflow" from one day to another is currently not handled.

Parameters

  timeVal | new time value to be set

Returns
  OFTrue if the new value is valid and has been set, OFFalse otherwise

## setDateTime() [2/2]

OFBool OFDateTime::setDateTime | ( | const unsigned int | year,

|  | const unsigned int | hour,
|  | const unsigned int | minute,
|  | const double | second,
|  | const double | timeZone = 0 )

set the date/time value.

Before the new value is set it is checked using the "isValid()" routine.

Parameters

  year | new year value to be set
  month | new month value to be set
  day | new day value to be set
  hour | new hour value to be set
  minute | new minute value to be set
  second | new second value to be set (incl. fraction of seconds)
  timeZone | optional offset to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in hours

Returns
  OFTrue if the new value is valid and has been set, OFFalse otherwise

## setISOFormattedDateTime()

OFBool OFDateTime::setISOFormattedDateTime | ( | const OFString & | formattedDateTime | ) |

set the date/time value to the given ISO formatted date/time string.

The two ISO date/time formats supported by this function are

- "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS [&ZZ:ZZ]]" (with arbitrary delimiters) and
- "YYYYMMDDHHMM[SS[&ZZZZ]]" (without delimiters, useful for DICOM datetime type) where the brackets enclose optional parts. Please note that the optional fractional part of a second ".FFFFFF" (see getISOFormattedDateTime()) is not yet supported.
  Parameters

    formattedDateTime | ISO formatted date/time value to be set

  Returns
    OFTrue if input is valid and result variable has been set, OFFalse otherwise

## setTime()

OFBool OFDateTime::setTime | ( | const OFTime & | timeVal | ) |

set the time component to the specified time.
