[Qt-interest] Draw QDateTime with QAbstractItemDelegate

[Israel Brewster]

No one? Really? I would have thought that displaying a QDateTime in a  
QTableView would be a common practice. Guess not though :-). So is  
there no way to do this? I mean, I can, of course, subclass the  
QTableModel itself to force it to return a QDateTime object, which  
then displays correctly, but that requires yet another subclass, just  
to do one little thing. It would seem to me there should be some way  
to tell the Delegate to simply cast the data to a QDateTime itself,  
and use the fully-functional built-in DateTime display routines. Is  
subclassing the model my only option? Thanks.
