CDateTime bugs [message #36351]

There is an irritating bug in the nebula CDateTime, so I decided to
investigate it. The bug is that when you have the Analog clock showing
and you drag the minute hand one complete round, the hour snaps back to
the previous hour. The proper behavior for this would be to
advance/retreat the hour depending on if the user user dragging
clockwise or anticlockwise. At first I thought CDateTime must be using
Calander.roll() to achieve this (which has a similar behavior, as
opposed to GregorianCalander.add() which does the proper addition by
incrementing/decrementing the month/year, etc when adding dates, hours,
mins, etc), but after looking at the code, I noticed the fieldSet()
method is checking for the min/max values for the field and setting it
accordingly. Why can't we just use the GregorianCalander.add() to
properly handle the advancing of the larger fields when a small one changes?

While I'm on the subject of bugs, there is no way to get out of the
CDateTime editor, except by pressing Cancel or by clciking on "Today is
...." button or by clicking on a date on the calendar. Is there anyway
to close the CDateTime editor if the user click anywhere outside the
window that CDateTime is displayed in. This would be the behavior
analogous to a combobox.

Thanks
Mahesh

I'm also interested in getting this bug fixed.

Thanks for the suggestion for the analog clock behavior. I've made a new
Bugzilla item to track it. I can't guarantee that it'll get addressed
soon, since I've just started working on the project, and the original
maintainer isn't available very much right now. You can add yourself to
the CC list for the bug if you'd like to get status updates.

Your other issue has now been addressed. Apparently, this bug was a
consequence of a workaround for an SWT bug that has been fixed. Since I
know for certain that it was fixed in Eclipse 3.3, I disabled the
workaround for that version. There are instructions in the bug comments
if you'd like to investigate the behavior with previous versions of SWT.
