Class DateAndTime has no quick form support ?????

[marten]

Considering the fact, that DateAndTime can be seen as the
future ANSI based class for timestamps, it is surprising to
see, that this class has no support for quick forms.

I think, that this is definitely missing !? How can I fix this ?

Hi, Marten,

Yes, you are correct. DateAntTime does not have a quick form.

I'll add it as an enhancement for our next bugfix release.

I tried to change that for myself - but DateAndTime is placed in the
Kernel application and it is not possible/allowed to add the needed
Abt informations into that. The Public Interface Builder is not able
to place code there.

The only solution seems to be to add a subclass in a total different
application (like AbtTimestamp) and do all stuff there.

Can't you extend DateAndTime in an application other than Kernel?

Yes, this is no problem - but I also wanted to create an interface to that
class using the public interface editor, but this is not possible.

It wants to write the source to AbtRunPartsApp - and totally fails, when
creating the PRAGMA methods in that application.

Marten -

Did you create a new edition of AbtRunPartsApp and also create an extension of DateAndTime in the new edition of AbtRunPartsApp before trying to create the public interface? I did that and the PRAGMA and other methods seem to be created properly then.

Thanks - that did it !

Good, I'm glad it worked out for you. I suspect Instantiations would happily accept your code for inclusion in a future release if you send it to them.

Ok, my first posting is now several months away ... any idea, when this will be fixed ????

Marten,

This will be fixed in 7.5.1. The case number is 22060.
