Hi all!

I know how to get the current Date/ Time like this:

Label {

text: {

new Date();

}

}

in which the label displays, for example : "2013-02-10T15:52:28"

how do I ONLY display the hour(15)?  

Thanks,

-Ali

Hi,

Use Qt formatDateTime method:

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qml-qt.html#formatDateTime-method

For hours:

var hours = Qt.formatDateTime(new Date(), "hh"); // or "h"

Alternatively you could just use the methods available on that Date instance, as in text: (new Date()).getHours()

The only problem with that is, I believe, that it won't update automatically, so you'll likely need to investigate the use of QTimer as well, to trigger a periodic refresh of the value.

Thank you both for your suggestions!

I ended up using this code:

 Label{
                text: {
                var hours = Qt.formatDateTime(new Date(), "hh");
                return hours;
                }
            }
