\section{\class{wxCalendarCtrl}}\label{wxcalendarctrl}

The calendar control allows the user to pick a date. For this,
it displays a window containing several parts: a control at the top to pick the month
and the year (either or both of them may be disabled), and a month
area below them which shows all the days in the month. The user can move the
current selection using the keyboard and select the date (generating 
{\tt EVT\_CALENDAR} event) by pressing {\tt <Return>} or double clicking it.

It has advanced possibilities for the customization of its display. 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 \helpref{wxCalendarDateAttr}{wxcalendardateattr} class.

An item without custom attributes is drawn with the default colours and
font and without border, but setting custom attributes with 
\helpref{SetAttr}{wxcalendarctrlsetattr} allows to modify 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 \helpref{wxDateTime}{tdateholidays} using 
\helpref{SetHoliday}{wxcalendardateattrsetholiday} 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 
{\tt EVT\_CALENDAR\_MONTH} event handler.

\wxheading{Window styles}

\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=4pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCAL\_SUNDAY\_FIRST}}{Show Sunday as the first day in the week}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCAL\_MONDAY\_FIRST}}{Show Monday as the first day in the week}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCAL\_SHOW\_HOLIDAYS}}{Highlight holidays in the calendar}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCAL\_NO\_YEAR\_CHANGE}}{Disable the year changing}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCAL\_NO\_MONTH\_CHANGE}}{Disable the month (and, implicitly, the year) changing}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCAL\_SHOW\_SURROUNDING\_WEEKS}}{Show the neighbouring weeks in the previous and next months}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCAL\_SEQUENTIAL\_MONTH\_SELECTION}}{Use alternative, more compact, style for the month and year selection controls.}
\end{twocollist}

The default calendar style is {\tt wxCAL\_SHOW\_HOLIDAYS}.

\wxheading{Event table macros}

To process input from a calendar control, use these event handler macros to
direct input to member functions that take a 
\helpref{wxCalendarEvent}{wxcalendarevent} argument.

\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=7pt
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_CALENDAR(id, func)}}{A day was double clicked in the calendar.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_CALENDAR\_SEL\_CHANGED(id, func)}}{The selected date changed.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_CALENDAR\_DAY(id, func)}}{The selected day changed.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_CALENDAR\_MONTH(id, func)}}{The selected month changed.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_CALENDAR\_YEAR(id, func)}}{The selected year changed.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_CALENDAR\_WEEKDAY\_CLICKED(id, func)}}{User clicked on the week day header}
\end{twocollist}%

Note that changing the selected date will result in either of 
{\tt EVT\_CALENDAR\_DAY}, {\tt MONTH} or {\tt YEAR} events and 
{\tt EVT\_CALENDAR\_SEL\_CHANGED} one.

\wxheading{Constants}

The following are the possible return values for 
\helpref{HitTest}{wxcalendarctrlhittest} method:

{\small
\begin{verbatim}
enum wxCalendarHitTestResult
{
    wxCAL_HITTEST_NOWHERE,      // outside of anything
    wxCAL_HITTEST_HEADER,       // on the header (weekdays)
    wxCAL_HITTEST_DAY           // on a day in the calendar
}
\end{verbatim}
