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()

static OFDateTime OFDateTime::getCurrentDateTime ( )

static

get the current system date and time

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

◆ 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

◆ operator<()

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

virtual

comparison operator (less than).

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

◆ 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

dateTime date and time value compared with the current value

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

◆ operator=()

virtual OFDateTime & OFDateTime::operator= ( const OFDateTime & dateTime )

virtual

assignment operator

Parameters

dateTime date/time value to be set

Returns: reference to this object (with new value)

◆ operator==()

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

virtual

comparison operator (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

dateTime date and time value compared with the current value

Returns: OFTrue if given date and time is equal, OFFalse otherwise

◆ operator>()

virtual OFBool OFDateTime::operator> ( const OFDateTime & dateTime ) const

virtual

comparison operator (greater than).

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 later than the given value, OFFalse otherwise

◆ operator>=()

virtual OFBool OFDateTime::operator>= ( const OFDateTime & dateTime ) const

virtual

comparison operator (greater 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

dateTime date and time value compared with the current value

Returns: OFTrue if current date and time is later than or identical to the given value, OFFalse otherwise

◆ setCurrentDateTime()

OFBool OFDateTime::setCurrentDateTime ( )

set the date and time value to the current system date and time.

This function uses operating system dependent routines. If the date or time function (or both) are unavailable for some reason the corresponding value is not modified.

Returns: OFTrue if the current system date and time has been set, OFFalse otherwise

◆ setDate()

OFBool OFDateTime::setDate ( const OFDate & dateVal )

set the date component to the specified date.

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

Parameters

dateVal new date value to be set

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

◆ setDateTime() [1/2]

OFBool OFDateTime::setDateTime	(	const OFDate &	dateVal,
		const OFTime &	timeVal
	)

set the date and time component to the specified date/time.

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

Parameters

dateVal	new date value to be set
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	month,
		const unsigned int	day,
		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.

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

Parameters

timeVal new time value to be set

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