public class DateTime

extends DateRecord

implements WritableCell, DateCell

A Date which may be created on the fly by a user application and added to a spreadsheet NOTE: By default, all dates will have local timezone information added to their UTC value. If this is not desired (eg. if the date entered represents an interval eg. 9.83s for the 100m world record, then use the overloaded constructor which indicate that the date passed in was created under the GMT timezone. It is important that when the date was created, an instruction like Calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")) was made prior to that

Constructor Summary

	DateTime(DateCell dc) A constructor called by the worksheet when creating a writable version of a spreadsheet that has been read in
	DateTime(int c, int r, java.util.Date d) Constructor
	DateTime(int c, int r, java.util.Date d, CellFormat st) Constructor which takes the format for this cell
	DateTime(int c, int r, java.util.Date d, CellFormat st, boolean tim) Constructor which takes the format for the cell and an indicator as to whether this cell is a full date time or purely just a time eg. if the spreadsheet is to contain the world record for 100m, then the value would be 9.83s, which would be indicated as just a time
	DateTime(int c, int r, java.util.Date d, CellFormat st, DateRecord.GMTDate a) Constructor, which adjusts the specified date to take timezone considerations into account
	DateTime(int c, int r, java.util.Date d, DateRecord.GMTDate a) Constructor, which adjusts the specified date to take timezone considerations into account
protected	DateTime(int col, int row, DateTime dt) Copy constructor used for deep copying

Method Summary
