58\func{wxString}{Format}{\param{const wxChar * }{format = "\%H:\%M:\%S"}}
59
60Returns the string containing the formatted representation of the time span.
61The following format specifiers are allowed after \%:
62
63\twocolwidtha{5cm}%
64\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
65\twocolitem{H}{number of {\bf H}ours}
66\twocolitem{M}{number of {\bf M}inutes}
67\twocolitem{S}{number of {\bf S}econds}
68\twocolitem{l}{number of mi{\bf l}liseconds}
69\twocolitem{D}{number of {\bf D}ays}
70\twocolitem{E}{number of w{\bf E}eks}
71\twocolitem{\%}{the percent character}
72\end{twocollist}
73
74Note that, for example, the number of hours in the description above is not
75well defined: it can be either the total number of hours (for example, for a
76time span of $50$ hours this would be $50$) or just the hour part of the time
77span, which would be $2$ in this case as $50$ hours is equal to $2$ days and
78$2$ hours.
79
80wxTimeSpan resolves this ambiguity in the following way: if there had been,
81indeed, the {\tt \%D} format specified preceding the {\tt \%H}, then it is
82interpreted as $2$. Otherwise, it is $50$.
83
84The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a specifier of
85larger unit, only the rest part is taken, otherwise the full value is used.
