}}\label{wxdatetime
}
14 wxDateTime class represents an absolute moment in the time.
18 The type
{\tt wxDateTime
\_t} is typedefed as
{\tt unsigned short
} and is used
19 to contain the number of years, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
23 Global constant
{\tt wxDefaultDateTime
} and synonym for it
{\tt wxInvalidDateTime
} are defined. This constant will be different from any valid
26 All the following constants are defined inside wxDateTime class (i.e., to refer to
27 them you should prepend their names with
{\tt wxDateTime::
}).
29 Time zone symbolic names:
34 // the time in the current time zone
37 // zones from GMT (= Greenwhich Mean Time): they're guaranteed to be
38 // consequent numbers, so writing something like `GMT0 + offset' is
39 // safe if abs(offset) <=
12
41 // underscore stands for minus
42 GMT_12, GMT_11, GMT_10, GMT_9, GMT_8, GMT_7,
43 GMT_6, GMT_5, GMT_4, GMT_3, GMT_2, GMT_1,
45 GMT1, GMT2, GMT3, GMT4, GMT5, GMT6,
46 GMT7, GMT8, GMT9, GMT10, GMT11, GMT12,
47 // Note that GMT12 and GMT_12 are not the same: there is a difference
48 // of exactly one day between them
50 // some symbolic names for TZ
53 WET = GMT0, // Western Europe Time
54 WEST = GMT1, // Western Europe Summer Time
55 CET = GMT1, // Central Europe Time
56 CEST = GMT2, // Central Europe Summer Time
57 EET = GMT2, // Eastern Europe Time
58 EEST = GMT3, // Eastern Europe Summer Time
59 MSK = GMT3, // Moscow Time
60 MSD = GMT4, // Moscow Summer Time
63 AST = GMT_4, // Atlantic Standard Time
64 ADT = GMT_3, // Atlantic Daylight Time
65 EST = GMT_5, // Eastern Standard Time
66 EDT = GMT_4, // Eastern Daylight Saving Time
67 CST = GMT_6, // Central Standard Time
68 CDT = GMT_5, // Central Daylight Saving Time
69 MST = GMT_7, // Mountain Standard Time
70 MDT = GMT_6, // Mountain Daylight Saving Time
71 PST = GMT_8, // Pacific Standard Time
72 PDT = GMT_7, // Pacific Daylight Saving Time
73 HST = GMT_10, // Hawaiian Standard Time
74 AKST = GMT_9, // Alaska Standard Time
75 AKDT = GMT_8, // Alaska Daylight Saving Time
79 A_WST = GMT8, // Western Standard Time
80 A_CST = GMT12 +
1, // Central Standard Time (+
9.5)
81 A_EST = GMT10, // Eastern Standard Time
82 A_ESST = GMT11, // Eastern Summer Time
84 // Universal Coordinated Time = the new and politically correct name
90 Month names: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec and
91 Inv
\_Month for an invalid.month value are the values of
{\tt wxDateTime::Month
}
94 Likewise, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, and Inv
\_WeekDay are the values in
95 {\tt wxDateTime::WeekDay
} enum.
97 Finally, Inv
\_Year is defined to be an invalid value for year parameter.
99 \helpref{GetMonthName()
}{wxdatetimegetmonthname
} and
100 \helpref{GetWeekDayName
}{wxdatetimegetweekdayname
} functions use the followign
106 Name_Full =
0x01, // return full name
107 Name_Abbr =
0x02 // return abbreviated name
111 Several functions accept an extra parameter specifying the calendar to use
112 (although most of them only support now the Gregorian calendar). This
113 parameters is one of the following values:
118 Gregorian, // calendar currently in use in Western countries
119 Julian // calendar in use since -
45 until the
1582 (or later)
123 Date calculations often depend on the country and wxDateTime allows to set the
124 country whose conventions should be used using
125 \helpref{SetCountry
}{wxdatetimesetcountry
}. It takes one of the following
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
135 Country_WesternEurope_Start,
136 Country_EEC = Country_WesternEurope_Start,
140 Country_WesternEurope_End = UK,
148 Different parts of the world use different conventions for the week start.
149 In some countries, the week starts on Sunday, while in others -- on Monday.
150 The ISO standard doesn't address this issue, so we support both conventions in
151 the functions whose result depends on it (
\helpref{GetWeekOfYear
}{wxdatetimegetweekofyear
} and
152 \helpref{GetWeekOfMonth
}{wxdatetimegetweekofmonth
}).
154 The desired behvaiour may be specified by giving one of the following
155 constants as argument to these functions:
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

186 For convenience, all static functions are collected here. These functions
187 either set or return the static variables of wxDateSpan (the country), return
188 the current moment, year, month or number of days in it, or do some general
189 calendar-related actions.
191 Please note that although several function accept an extra
{\it Calendar

192 parameter, it is currently ignored as only the Gregorian calendar is
193 supported. Future versions will support other calendars.

223 should use
\helpref{IsValid

278 \membersection{Date comparison
}\label{datecomparison
}
280 There are several function to allow date comparison. To supplement them, a few
281 global operators $>$, $<$ etc taking wxDateTime are defined.
283 \helpref{IsEqualTo
}{wxdatetimeisequalto
}\\
284 \helpref{IsEarlierThan
}{wxdatetimeisearlierthan

293 \membersection{Date arithmetics
}\label{datearithmetics
}
295 These functions carry out
\helpref{arithmetics
}{tdatearithm
} on the wxDateTime
296 objects. As explained in the overview, either wxTimeSpan or wxDateSpan may be
297 added to wxDateTime, hence all functions are overloaded to accept both
300 Also, both
{\tt Add()
} and
{\tt Subtract()
} have both const and non-const
301 version. The first one returns a new object which represents the
302 sum/difference of the original one with the argument while the second form
303 modifies the object to which it is applied. The operators $-=$ and $+=$ are
304 defined to be equivalent to the second forms of these functions.
306 \helpref{Add(wxTimeSpan)
}{wxdatetimeaddts
}\\
307 \helpref{Add(wxDateSpan)
}{wxdatetimeaddds
}\\

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

357 \helpref{FormatISODate
}{wxdatetimeformatisodate
}\\
358 \helpref{FormatISOTime
}{wxdatetimeformatisotime
}
361 \membersection{Calendar calculations
}\label{datetimecalculations
}
363 The functions in this section perform the basic calendar calculations, mostly
364 related to the week days. They allow to find the given week day in the
365 week with given number (either in the month or in the year) and so on.
367 All (non-const) functions in this section don't modify the time part of the
368 wxDateTime -- they only work with the date part of it.
370 \helpref{SetToWeekDayInSameWeek
}{wxdatetimesettoweekdayinsameweek
}\\

}{wxdatetimegetweekdayinsameweek

389 Some degree of support for the date units used in astronomy and/or history is
390 provided. You can construct a wxDateTime object from a
391 \helpref{JDN
}{wxdatetimesetjdn
} and you may also get its JDN,

1161 of the format string.
1163 The
{\it dateDef

1164 determined from the format string. For example, if the format is
{\tt "\%d"

1165 ay of the month), the month and the year are taken from

1166 it is not specified,

1177 Parses the string
{\it datetime

1178 This function tries as hard as it can to interpret the given string as date
1179 and time. Unlike
\helpref{ParseRfc822Date
}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date
}, it
1180 will accept anything that may be accepted and will only reject strings which
1181 can not be parsed in any way at all.
1183 Returns
{\tt NULL
} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
1184 the character which stopped the scan. This method is currently not
1185 implemented, so always returns NULL.

1192 This function is like

1193 only allows the date to be specified. It is thus less flexible then
1194 \helpref{ParseDateTime

1195 misinterpret the user input.

1217 Please see its description for the meaning of
{\it format

1219 It also accepts a few wxWidgets-specific extensions: you can optionally specify
1220 the width of the field to follow using
{\tt printf(

}-like syntax and the
1221 format specification
{\tt \%l
