I've found a web where some are listed, although i don't think all are in use today... http://www.dailyglobe.com/caltype.html The idea is using not an abstract calendar but an abstract class Date and calendar-specific date classes inherited, like GregorianDate, HijriDate, JulianDate... Displayed by only one calendar class, the actual one, which instead of taking the data from QDate, might take data from our new date classes through its base class, Date (thanks to polymorfism). In that way, we'd have a clean design and adding new caledar-type-dates would be easy.. > I'm no date guru :) > I'm not at all ;) > Rik > -- Carlos Fernández Moro Departamento de Morfología y Biología Celular Universidad de Oviedo cfmoro@correo.uniovi.es -------------------------------------------- | PGP/GnuPG public key at: | | http://www.rediris.es/cert/keyserver | | keyID: 0x2190F184 | | Send me mail with : | | subject: send pub key | | ICQ : 106984950 | -------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ kde-pim mailing list kde-pim@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-pim kde-pim home page at http://pim.kde.org/
