You retrieve the time value encoded in a TTime object using editor's Date() method. Then you convert that object into a TDateTime object by calling its DateTime() and use the new object to extract the data you need for your database.

Obviously this is a Symbian C++ type of question, has nothing to do with Carbide.c++ or its UI Designer aside from understanding that the editor class it uses is CEikDateEditor.

Check this: Querying Date and Time

Also check this: Retrieve the number of the current week in the year

Finally search for the TTime in the SDK help.

Hi,
here is part of the code I use in my own app. My settingslist is created by Carbide UI, and the call is to be found in the file with the shortest file name:

void CLocaNoteFilterSettings::SaveSettingValuesL()
	{
	// store values from iSettings
	CLocaNoteAppUi* temp=static_cast<CLocaNoteAppUi*>(CEikonEnv::Static()->EikAppUi());
	TDateTime val1, val2;
	
	temp->iPrefs->FilterNote=(LocaNotePrefFilterNote)iSettings.CmbCreateOrEdit();
	
	val1=iSettings.CmdFilterFromDate().DateTime();
	val2=iSettings.CmdFilterFromTime().DateTime();
	val1.SetHour(val2.Hour());
	val1.SetMinute(val2.Minute());
	val1.SetSecond(val2.Second());
	temp->iPrefs->FilterFromDateTime=val1;
	
	val1=iSettings.CmbFilterToDate().DateTime();
	val2=iSettings.CmbFilterToTime().DateTime();
	val1.SetHour(val2.Hour());
	val1.SetMinute(val2.Minute());
	val1.SetSecond(val2.Second());
	temp->iPrefs->FilterToDateTime=val1;	
	}
