13
14wxDateTime class represents an absolute moment in the time.
15
16\wxheading{Types}
17
18The type {\tt wxDateTime\_t} is typedefed as {\tt unsigned short} and is used
19to contain the number of years, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
20
21\wxheading{Constants}
22
66f55ec6 23Global constant {\tt wxDefaultDateTime} and synonym for it {\tt wxInvalidDateTime} are defined. This constant will be different from any valid
d7da9756
VZ
24wxDateTime object.
25
26All the following constants are defined inside wxDateTime class (i.e., to refer to
27them you should prepend their names with {\tt wxDateTime::}).

90Month names: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec and
f6bcfd97 91Inv\_Month for an invalid.month value are the values of {\tt wxDateTime::Month}
d7da9756
VZ
92enum.
93
f6bcfd97 94Likewise, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, and Inv\_WeekDay are the values in
d7da9756
VZ
95{\tt wxDateTime::WeekDay} enum.
96
97Finally, Inv\_Year is defined to be an invalid value for year parameter.
98
f6bcfd97
BP
99\helpref{GetMonthName()}{wxdatetimegetmonthname} and
100\helpref{GetWeekDayName}{wxdatetimegetweekdayname} functions use the followign
101flags:
102
103\begin{verbatim}
104 enum NameFlags
105 {
106 Name_Full = 0x01, // return full name
107 Name_Abbr = 0x02 // return abbreviated name
108 };
109\end{verbatim}
110
111Several functions accept an extra parameter specifying the calendar to use
112(although most of them only support now the Gregorian calendar). This
113parameters is one of the following values:
114
115\begin{verbatim}
116 enum Calendar
117 {
118 Gregorian, // calendar currently in use in Western countries
119 Julian // calendar in use since -45 until the 1582 (or later)
120 };
121\end{verbatim}

123Date calculations often depend on the country and wxDateTime allows to set the
124country whose conventions should be used using
f6bcfd97
BP
125\helpref{SetCountry}{wxdatetimesetcountry}. It takes one of the following
126values as parameter:
127
128\begin{verbatim}
129 enum Country
130 {
131 Country_Unknown, // no special information for this country
132 Country_Default, // set the default country with SetCountry() method
133 // or use the default country with any other
134
135 Country_WesternEurope_Start,
136 Country_EEC = Country_WesternEurope_Start,
137 France,
138 Germany,
139 UK,
140 Country_WesternEurope_End = UK,
141
142 Russia,
143
144 USA
145 };
146\end{verbatim}
147

148Different parts of the world use different conventions for the week start.
149In some countries, the week starts on Sunday, while in others -- on Monday.
f6bcfd97 150The ISO standard doesn't address this issue, so we support both conventions in
d3c7cfeb 151the functions whose result depends on it (\helpref{GetWeekOfYear}{wxdatetimegetweekofyear} and
f6bcfd97
BP
152\helpref{GetWeekOfMonth}{wxdatetimegetweekofmonth}).
153
154The desired behvaiour may be specified by giving one of the following
155constants as argument to these functions:
156
157\begin{verbatim}
158 enum WeekFlags
159 {
160 Default_First, // Sunday_First for US, Monday_First for the rest
161 Monday_First, // week starts with a Monday
162 Sunday_First // week starts with a Sunday

290
f6bcfd97
BP
291These functions carry out \helpref{arithmetics}{tdatearithm} on the wxDateTime
292objects. As explained in the overview, either wxTimeSpan or wxDateSpan may be
293added to wxDateTime, hence all functions are overloaded to accept both
294arguments.
295
296Also, both {\tt Add()} and {\tt Subtract()} have both const and non-const
297version. The first one returns a new obejct which represents the
298sum/difference of the original one with the argument while the second form
299modifies the object to which it is applied. The operators $-=$ and $+=$ are
300defined to be equivalent to the second forms of these functions.

312\membersection{Parsing and formatting dates}
313
cdfb1ae1 314These functions convert wxDateTime obejcts to and from text. The
f6bcfd97 315conversions to text are mostly trivial: you can either do it using the default
cdfb1ae1
VZ
316date and time representations for the current locale (
317\helpref{FormatDate}{wxdatetimeformatdate} and
f6bcfd97 318\helpref{FormatTime}{wxdatetimeformattime}), using the international standard
cdfb1ae1
VZ
319representation defined by ISO 8601 (
320\helpref{FormatISODate}{wxdatetimeformatisodate} and
f6bcfd97
BP
321\helpref{FormatISOTime}{wxdatetimeformatisotime}) or by specifying any format
322at all and using \helpref{Format}{wxdatetimeformat} directly.
323
324The conversions from text are more interesting, as there are much more
cdfb1ae1 325possibilities to care about. The simplest cases can be taken care of with
f6bcfd97
BP
326\helpref{ParseFormat}{wxdatetimeparseformat} which can parse any date in the
327given (rigid) format. \helpref{ParseRfc822Date}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date} is
cdfb1ae1 328another function for parsing dates in predefined format -- the one of RFC 822
f6bcfd97 329which (still...) defines the format of email messages on the Internet. This
cdfb1ae1 330format can not be described with {\tt strptime(3)}-like format strings used by
f6bcfd97
BP
331\helpref{Format}{wxdatetimeformat}, hence the need for a separate function.
332
d3c7cfeb 333But the most interesting functions are
cdfb1ae1 334\helpref{ParseTime}{wxdatetimeparsetime},
d3c7cfeb 335\helpref{ParseDate}{wxdatetimeparsedate} and
cdfb1ae1
VZ
336\helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}. They try to parse the date
337ans time (or only one of them) in `free' format, i.e. allow them to be
338specified in any of possible ways. These functions will usually be used to
339parse the (interactive) user input which is not bound to be in any predefined
340format. As an example, \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime} can
341parse the strings such as {\tt "tomorrow"}, {\tt "March first"} and even
342{\tt "next Sunday"}.

1032
1033Parses the string {\it date} looking for a date formatted according to the RFC
1034822 in it. The exact description of this format may, of course, be found in
1035the RFC (section $5$), but, briefly, this is the format used in the headers of
1036Internet email messages and one of the most common strings expressing date in
1037this format may be something like {\tt "Sat, 18 Dec 1999 00:48:30 +0100"}.
1038
1039Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
1040the character immediately following the part of the string which could be
1041parsed. If the entire string contains only the date in RFC 822 format,
1042the returned pointer will be pointing to a {\tt NUL} character.

1052
1053This function parses the string {\it date} according to the given
1054{\it format}. The system {\tt strptime(3)} function is used whenever available,
1055but even if it is not, this function is still implemented (although support
1056for locale-dependent format specificators such as {\tt "\%c"}, {\tt "\%x"} or
1057{\tt "\%X"} may be not perfect). This function does handle the month and
1058weekday names in the current locale on all platforms, however.
1059
1060Please the description of ANSI C function {\tt strftime(3)} for the syntax of
1061the format string.
1062
1063The {\it dateDef} parameter is used to fill in the fields which could not be
1064determined from the format string. For example, if the format is {\tt "\%d"}
1065(the day of the month), the month and the year are taken from {\it dateDef}.
1066If it is not specified, \helpref{Today}{wxdatetimetoday} is used as the
1067default date.

1077This function tries as hard as it can to interpret the given string as date
1078and time. Unlike \helpref{ParseRfc822Date}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date}, it
1079will accept anything that may be accepted and will only reject strings which
1080can not be parsed in any way at all.
