[Qt-interest] QDateEdit and null values

[Harry Sfougaris]

In trying to overcome QDateEdit's limitation of not being able to represent a "NULL" value.
I have been using setSpecialValueText("-") and setDate( minimumDate()) which for my purposes makes the minimumDate=NULL (displayed as a '-' to the user), and I then intervene in the beforeInsert signal of my QSqlTableModel, and replace all minimumDates with NULL.

However, this has one annoying side effect: when the user tries to select a date, he starts of at 14/9/17xx. I have been unsuccessfully trying to find a signal that  is emitted before the calendar popup is displayed, so I may call showToday.
Can anyone please help? 

Thanks,
Harry
