NAME
wxCalendarCtrl - Functions for wxCalendarCtrl class
DESCRIPTION
The calendar control allows the user to pick a date. The user can move the current
selection using the keyboard and select the date (generating EVT_CALENDAR event) by
pressing <Return> or double clicking it.
Generic calendar has advanced possibilities for the customization of its display,
described below. If you want to use these possibilities on every platform, use
wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl.
All global settings (such as colours and fonts used) can, of course, be changed. But also,
the display style for each day in the month can be set independently using
wxCalendarDateAttr class.
An item without custom attributes is drawn with the default colours and font and without
border, but setting custom attributes with setAttr/3 allows modifying its appearance. Just
create a custom attribute object and set it for the day you want to be displayed specially
(note that the control will take ownership of the pointer, i.e. it will delete it itself).
A day may be marked as being a holiday, even if it is not recognized as one by
wx_datetime() using the wxCalendarDateAttr:setHoliday/2 method.
As the attributes are specified for each day, they may change when the month is changed,
so you will often want to update them in EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED event handler.
If neither the wxCAL_SUNDAY_FIRST or wxCAL_MONDAY_FIRST style is given, the first day of
the week is determined from operating system's settings, if possible. The native wxGTK
calendar chooses the first weekday based on locale, and these styles have no effect on it.
Styles
This class supports the following styles:
Note: Changing the selected date will trigger an EVT_CALENDAR_DAY, MONTH or YEAR event as
well as an EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED event.
See: Examples, wxCalendarDateAttr, wxCalendarEvent, wxDatePickerCtrl
This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxControl wxWindow wxEvtHandler
wxWidgets docs: wxCalendarCtrl
EVENTS
Event types emitted from this class: calendar_sel_changed, calendar_weekday_clicked
DATA TYPES
wxCalendarCtrl() = wx:wx_object()
EXPORTS
new() -> wxCalendarCtrl()
Default constructor.
new(Parent, Id) -> wxCalendarCtrl()
Types:
Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Id = integer()
new(Parent, Id, Options :: [Option]) -> wxCalendarCtrl()
Types:
Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Id = integer()
Option =
{date, wx:wx_datetime()} |
{pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} |
{size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} |
{style, integer()}
Does the same as create/4 method.
create(This, Parent, Id) -> boolean()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Id = integer()
create(This, Parent, Id, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Id = integer()
Option =
{date, wx:wx_datetime()} |
{pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} |
{size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} |
{style, integer()}
Creates the control.
See wxWindow:new/3 for the meaning of the parameters and the control overview for
the possible styles.
destroy(This :: wxCalendarCtrl()) -> ok
Destroys the control.
setDate(This, Date) -> boolean()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Date = wx:wx_datetime()
Sets the current date.
The date parameter must be valid and in the currently valid range as set by
SetDateRange() (not implemented in wx), otherwise the current date is not changed
and the function returns false and, additionally, triggers an assertion failure if
the date is invalid.
getDate(This) -> wx:wx_datetime()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Gets the currently selected date.
enableYearChange(This) -> ok
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
enableYearChange(This, Options :: [Option]) -> ok
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Option = {enable, boolean()}
Deprecated:
This function should be used instead of changing wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE style bit
directly. It allows or disallows the user to change the year interactively. Only in
generic wxCalendarCtrl.
enableMonthChange(This) -> boolean()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
enableMonthChange(This, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Option = {enable, boolean()}
This function should be used instead of changing wxCAL_NO_MONTH_CHANGE style bit.
It allows or disallows the user to change the month interactively. Note that if the
month cannot be changed, the year cannot be changed neither.
Return: true if the value of this option really changed or false if it was already
set to the requested value.
enableHolidayDisplay(This) -> ok
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
enableHolidayDisplay(This, Options :: [Option]) -> ok
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Option = {display, boolean()}
This function should be used instead of changing wxCAL_SHOW_HOLIDAYS style bit
directly.
It enables or disables the special highlighting of the holidays.
setHeaderColours(This, ColFg, ColBg) -> ok
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
ColFg = ColBg = wx:wx_colour()
Set the colours used for painting the weekdays at the top of the control.
This method is currently only implemented in generic wxCalendarCtrl and does
nothing in the native versions.
getHeaderColourFg(This) -> wx:wx_colour4()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Gets the foreground colour of the header part of the calendar window.
This method is currently only implemented in generic wxCalendarCtrl and always
returns wxNullColour in the native versions.
See: setHeaderColours/3
getHeaderColourBg(This) -> wx:wx_colour4()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Gets the background colour of the header part of the calendar window.
This method is currently only implemented in generic wxCalendarCtrl and always
returns wxNullColour in the native versions.
See: setHeaderColours/3
setHighlightColours(This, ColFg, ColBg) -> ok
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
ColFg = ColBg = wx:wx_colour()
Set the colours to be used for highlighting the currently selected date.
This method is currently only implemented in generic wxCalendarCtrl and does
nothing in the native versions.
getHighlightColourFg(This) -> wx:wx_colour4()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Gets the foreground highlight colour.
Only in generic wxCalendarCtrl.
This method is currently only implemented in generic wxCalendarCtrl and always
returns wxNullColour in the native versions.
See: setHighlightColours/3
getHighlightColourBg(This) -> wx:wx_colour4()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Gets the background highlight colour.

setHolidayColours(This, ColFg, ColBg) -> ok
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
ColFg = ColBg = wx:wx_colour()

This method is only implemented in the generic version of the control and does
nothing in the native ones. It should also only be called if the window style
includes wxCAL_SHOW_HOLIDAYS flag or enableHolidayDisplay/2 had been called.
getHolidayColourFg(This) -> wx:wx_colour4()
Types:
This = wxCalendarCtrl()
Return the foreground colour currently used for holiday highlighting.
Only useful with generic wxCalendarCtrl as native versions currently don't support
holidays display at all and always return wxNullColour.
See: setHolidayColours/3
getHolidayColourBg(This) -> wx:wx_colour4()
