DESCRIPTION

TimeString and TimeText are custom classes of the Magic User Interface by Stefan Stuntz, and a subclass of string-class and time-class.

The idea for these classes was born during developing my Gregor application.

TimeString is a MUI public custom class that displays a string gadget for time strings. The display format of the time string can be freely defined. An input string can be parsed by the given format string, or in various standard formats.

TimeText is a MUI public custom class for displaying a text gadget for time strings. The display format of the time string can be freely defined.

Features of the two classes that are of interest for users:
• Can be dragged around
• Accepts drops of other Time.mcc objects and time-strings
• Handles daylight savings time
• Handles time zones
• Supports 12 hour and 24 hour clocks
• Supports various string formats
• TimeString accepts drops of other Time.mcc objects and time-strings
Features of the two classes that are of interest for developers:
• Based on Time.mcc
• Supports MUIM_Import and MUIM_Export
• The time can be read in hours/minutes/seconds format or as seconds from midnight on
• The time range can be restricted
• It's possible to notify a Date.mcc object when the next or previous day was reached
• Method to set the current time
• Methods for increasing and decreasing the time
• Method to compare with another time object
