ATTRIBUTES

Attributes are handled through the common get_ATTR(), set_ATTR() style accessors, but they are mostly passed once to the object constructor and must not be altered after the associated FormFactory was built.

format = SCALAR [optional]

This is a format string to define which timestamp fields should be edited and how they should be displayed.

Format wildcards are defined as follows:

%Y	Year, four digits
%m	Month, two digits
%d	Day of month, two digits
%k	Hour of the day, two digits
%M	Minutes, two digits

Everything else in the format string will be rendered as labels between the time field text entries.

The format string defaults to

%d.%m.%Y %k:%M

All time fields which are not part of the format string will get a default value of 0.

For more attributes refer to Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget.
