Detailed Description

This control allows the user to select a date.

Unlike wxCalendarCtrl, which is a relatively big control, wxDatePickerCtrl is implemented as a small window showing the currently selected date. The control can be edited using the keyboard, and can also display a popup window for more user-friendly date selection, depending on the styles used and the platform, except PalmOS where date is selected using native dialog.

It is only available if wxUSE_DATEPICKCTRL is set to 1.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxDatePickerCtrl::wxDatePickerCtrl ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id,
const wxDateTime dt = wxDefaultDateTime,
const wxPoint pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = wxDP_DEFAULT|wxDP_SHOWCENTURY,
const wxValidator validator = wxDefaultValidator,
const wxString name = "datectrl" 
)

Initializes the object and calls Create() with all the parameters.


Member Function Documentation

bool wxDatePickerCtrl::Create ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id,
const wxDateTime dt = wxDefaultDateTime,
const wxPoint pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = wxDP_DEFAULT|wxDP_SHOWCENTURY,
const wxValidator validator = wxDefaultValidator,
const wxString name = "datectrl" 
)
Parameters:
parent Parent window, must not be non-NULL.
id The identifier for the control.
dt The initial value of the control, if an invalid date (such as the default value) is used, the control is set to today.
pos Initial position.
size Initial size. If left at default value, the control chooses its own best size by using the height approximately equal to a text control and width large enough to show the date string fully.
style The window style, should be left at 0 as there are no special styles for this control in this version.
validator Validator which can be used for additional date checks.
name Control name.
Returns:
true if the control was successfully created or false if creation failed.
virtual bool wxDatePickerCtrl::GetRange ( wxDateTime dt1,
wxDateTime dt2 
) const [pure virtual]

If the control had been previously limited to a range of dates using SetRange(), returns the lower and upper bounds of this range.

If no range is set (or only one of the bounds is set), dt1 and/or dt2 are set to be invalid.

Parameters:
dt1 Pointer to the object which receives the lower range limit or becomes invalid if it is not set. May be NULL if the caller is not interested in lower limit.
dt2 Same as above but for the upper limit.
Returns:
false if no range limits are currently set, true if at least one bound is set.
virtual wxDateTime wxDatePickerCtrl::GetValue (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the currently selected.

If there is no selection or the selection is outside of the current range, an invalid object is returned.

virtual void wxDatePickerCtrl::SetRange ( const wxDateTime dt1,
const wxDateTime dt2 
) [pure virtual]

Sets the valid range for the date selection.

If dt1 is valid, it becomes the earliest date (inclusive) accepted by the control. If dt2 is valid, it becomes the latest possible date.

Remarks:
If the current value of the control is outside of the newly set range bounds, the behaviour is undefined.
virtual void wxDatePickerCtrl::SetValue ( const wxDateTime dt  )  [pure virtual]

Changes the current value of the control.

The date should be valid unless the control was created with wxDP_ALLOWNONE style and included in the currently selected range, if any.

Calling this method does not result in a date change event.
