I would create a custom composite widget consisting of two combo boxes while 
ignoring QDateTimeEdit all together. QDateTimeEdit has a few caveats, which 
limit its usefulness in many cases. Yours is way to special to make it work 
the way you want. If you need to handle invalid dates (e.g. NULL dates in 
database applications), you've lost anyway.
