+@** A Widget for Selecting Date Ranges.
2
+
3
+\noindent Many of the reports in Typica operate over a range of dates. In these
4
+cases it should generally be possible to set that range to any arbitrary start
5
+or end, however there are some ranges that are commonly useful where it may be
6
+convenient to provide easy access to that range. While Qt provides a widget
7
+for selecting a single date, it does not provide a widget that allows two dates
8
+to be conveniently selected. One approach which Typica has previously taken is
9
+to simply use two |QDateEdit| widgets. This works, however validation that the
10
+range is valid must then be performed in every report that uses such an
11
+approach. Another down side to this is that changing either side of the date
12
+range is either going to result in a database query to obtain results in the
13
+new range or another button must be introduced to make setting a new range
14
+explicit. One typically wants to adjust both sides of the range at the same
15
+time and only have one trip to the database for the new data and increasing the
16
+number of controls required for each filter quickly creates a mess.
17
+
18
+The solution to this is the introduction of a new composite widget for
19
+selecting date ranges. The main widget consists of two parts. First there is a
20
+|QComboBox| which contains many common date ranges. A |QToolButton| is also
21
+provided for convenient one click access to the Custom range. Whether selected
22
+from the |QComboBox| or the |QToolButton|, selecting Custom creates a new pop
23
+up widget containing two |QCalendarWidget|s and a button to explicitly set the
24
+range. This button will not be available unless the selected ending date is not
25
+before the selected starting date.
26
+
27
+As the common use for the selected date is database operations, convenient
28
+access to the ISO 8601 string representation of these dates is provided.
