Functions for wxCalendarCtrl class
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.

Types
-type wxCalendarCtrl() :: wx:wx_object().
Functions
-spec create(This, Parent, Id) -> boolean() when This :: wxCalendarCtrl(), Parent :: wxWindow:wxWindow(), Id :: integer().
-spec create(This, Parent, Id, [Option]) -> boolean() when 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.
-spec destroy(This :: wxCalendarCtrl()) -> ok.
Destroys the control.
-spec enableHolidayDisplay(This) -> ok when This :: wxCalendarCtrl().
-spec enableHolidayDisplay(This, [Option]) -> ok when 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.
-spec enableMonthChange(This) -> boolean() when This :: wxCalendarCtrl().
-spec enableMonthChange(This, [Option]) -> boolean() when 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.
-spec enableYearChange(This) -> ok when This :: wxCalendarCtrl().
-spec enableYearChange(This, [Option]) -> ok when 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.
