NAME

6       wxCalendarCtrl - Functions for wxCalendarCtrl class
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  calendar control allows the user to pick a date. The user can move
10       the current selection using the keyboard and select the date  (generat‐
11       ing EVT_CALENDAR event) by pressing <Return> or double clicking it.
12
13       Generic  calendar  has  advanced possibilities for the customization of
14       its display, described below. If you want to use these possibilities on
15       every platform, use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl.
16
17       All global settings (such as colours and fonts used) can, of course, be
18       changed. But also, the display style for each day in the month  can  be
19       set independently using wxCalendarDateAttr class.
20
21       An item without custom attributes is drawn with the default colours and
22       font and without border, but setting custom attributes  with  setAttr/3
23       allows  modifying its appearance. Just create a custom attribute object
24       and set it for the day you want to be displayed  specially  (note  that
25       the  control will take ownership of the pointer, i.e. it will delete it
26       itself). A day may be marked as being a holiday, even if it is not rec‐
27       ognized  as  one by wx_datetime() using the wxCalendarDateAttr:setHoli‐
28       day/2 method.
29
30       As the attributes are specified for each day, they may change when  the
31       month  is  changed, so you will often want to update them in EVT_CALEN‐
32       DAR_PAGE_CHANGED event handler.
33
34       If neither the wxCAL_SUNDAY_FIRST or wxCAL_MONDAY_FIRST style is given,
35       the  first  day  of the week is determined from operating system's set‐
36       tings, if possible. The native wxGTK calendar chooses the first weekday
37       based on locale, and these styles have no effect on it.
38
39       Styles
40
41       This class supports the following styles:
42
43       Note:  Changing  the  selected  date  will trigger an EVT_CALENDAR_DAY,
44       MONTH or YEAR event as well as an EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED event.
45
46       See: Examples, wxCalendarDateAttr, wxCalendarEvent, wxDatePickerCtrl
47
48       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxControl  wxWindow
49       wxEvtHandler

126              range as set by SetDateRange() (not implemented in  wx),  other‐
127              wise  the  current  date is not changed and the function returns
128              false and, additionally, triggers an assertion  failure  if  the
129              date is invalid.

151
152              Deprecated:
153
154              This   function   should   be   used  instead  of  changing  wx‐
155              CAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE style bit directly. It  allows  or  disallows
156              the  user  to change the year interactively. Only in generic wx‐
157              CalendarCtrl.

171
172              This  function  should  be  used   instead   of   changing   wx‐
173              CAL_NO_MONTH_CHANGE style bit.
174
175              It  allows  or  disallows  the user to change the month interac‐
176              tively. Note that if the month cannot be changed, the year  can‐
177              not be changed neither.
178
179              Return: true if the value of this option really changed or false
180              if it was already set to the requested value.

194
195              This function should be used instead of changing wxCAL_SHOW_HOL‐
196              IDAYS style bit directly.
197
