13
14 wxDateTime class represents an absolute moment in the time.
15
16 \wxheading{Types}
17
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.
20
21 \wxheading{Constants}
22
23 Global constant {\tt wxDefaultDateTime} and synonym for it {\tt wxInvalidDateTime} are defined. This constant will be different from any valid
24 wxDateTime object.
25
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::}).
28
29 Time zone symbolic names:
30
31 \begin{verbatim}
32 enum TZ
33 {
34 // the time in the current time zone
35 Local,
36
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
40
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,
44 GMT0,
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
49
50 // some symbolic names for TZ
51
52 // Europe
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
61
62 // US and Canada
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
76
77 // Australia
78
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
83
84 // Universal Coordinated Time = the new and politically correct name
85 // for GMT
86 UTC = GMT0
87 };
88 \end{verbatim}
89
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}
92 enum.
93
94 Likewise, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, and Inv\_WeekDay are the values in
95 {\tt wxDateTime::WeekDay} enum.
96
97 Finally, Inv\_Year is defined to be an invalid value for year parameter.
98
99 \helpref{GetMonthName()}{wxdatetimegetmonthname} and
100 \helpref{GetWeekDayName}{wxdatetimegetweekdayname} functions use the followign
101 flags:
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
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:
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}
122
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
126 values 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
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}).
153
154 The desired behvaiour may be specified by giving one of the following
155 constants 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
163 };
164 \end{verbatim}

183 \membersection{Static functions}
184
185 For convenience, all static functions are collected here. These functions
186 either set or return the static variables of wxDateSpan (the country), return
187 the current moment, year, month or number of days in it, or do some general
188 calendar-related actions.
189
190 Please note that although several function accept an extra {\it Calendar}
191 parameter, it is currently ignored as only the Gregorian calendar is
192 supported. Future versions will support other calendars.

218
219 Constructors and various {\tt Set()} methods are collected here. If you
220 construct a date object from separate values for day, month and year, you
221 should use \helpref{IsValid}{wxdatetimeisvalid} method to check that the
222 values were correct as constructors can not return an error code.

250 \membersection{Accessors}
251
252 Here are the trivial accessors. Other functions, which might have to perform
253 some more complicated calculations to find the answer are under the
254 \helpref{Calendar calculations}{wxdatetimecalculations} section.
255
256 \helpref{IsValid}{wxdatetimeisvalid}\\
257 \helpref{GetTicks}{wxdatetimegetticks}\\
258 \helpref{GetYear}{wxdatetimegetyear}\\
259 \helpref{GetMonth}{wxdatetimegetmonth}\\

270 \helpref{IsWorkDay}{wxdatetimeisworkday}\\
271 \helpref{IsGregorianDate}{wxdatetimeisgregoriandate}\\
272 \helpref{GetAsDOS}{wxdatetimegetasdos}
273
274 \membersection{Date comparison}
275
276 There are several function to allow date comparison. To supplement them, a few
277 global operators $>$, $<$ etc taking wxDateTime are defined.
278
279 \helpref{IsEqualTo}{wxdatetimeisequalto}\\
280 \helpref{IsEarlierThan}{wxdatetimeisearlierthan}\\
281 \helpref{IsLaterThan}{wxdatetimeislaterthan}\\
282 \helpref{IsStrictlyBetween}{wxdatetimeisstrictlybetween}\\
283 \helpref{IsBetween}{wxdatetimeisbetween}\\
284 \helpref{IsSameDate}{wxdatetimeissamedate}\\
285 \helpref{IsSameTime}{wxdatetimeissametime}\\
286 \helpref{IsEqualUpTo}{wxdatetimeisequalupto}
287
288 \membersection{Date arithmetics}
289
290 These functions carry out \helpref{arithmetics}{tdatearithm} on the wxDateTime
291 objects. As explained in the overview, either wxTimeSpan or wxDateSpan may be
292 added to wxDateTime, hence all functions are overloaded to accept both
293 arguments.
294
295 Also, both {\tt Add()} and {\tt Subtract()} have both const and non-const
296 version. The first one returns a new obejct which represents the
297 sum/difference of the original one with the argument while the second form
298 modifies the object to which it is applied. The operators $-=$ and $+=$ are
299 defined to be equivalent to the second forms of these functions.
300
301 \helpref{Add(wxTimeSpan)}{wxdatetimeaddts}\\
302 \helpref{Add(wxDateSpan)}{wxdatetimeaddds}\\
303 \helpref{Subtract(wxTimeSpan)}{wxdatetimesubtractts}\\
304 \helpref{Subtract(wxDateSpan)}{wxdatetimesubtractds}\\
305 \helpref{Subtract(wxDateTime)}{wxdatetimesubtractdt}\\
306 \helpref{oparator$+=$(wxTimeSpan)}{wxdatetimeaddts}\\
307 \helpref{oparator$+=$(wxDateSpan)}{wxdatetimeaddds}\\
308 \helpref{oparator$-=$(wxTimeSpan)}{wxdatetimesubtractts}\\
309 \helpref{oparator$-=$(wxDateSpan)}{wxdatetimesubtractds}
310
311 \membersection{Parsing and formatting dates}
312
313 These functions convert wxDateTime obejcts to and from text. The
314 conversions to text are mostly trivial: you can either do it using the default
315 date and time representations for the current locale (
316 \helpref{FormatDate}{wxdatetimeformatdate} and
317 \helpref{FormatTime}{wxdatetimeformattime}), using the international standard
318 representation defined by ISO 8601 (
319 \helpref{FormatISODate}{wxdatetimeformatisodate} and
320 \helpref{FormatISOTime}{wxdatetimeformatisotime}) or by specifying any format
321 at all and using \helpref{Format}{wxdatetimeformat} directly.
322
323 The conversions from text are more interesting, as there are much more
324 possibilities to care about. The simplest cases can be taken care of with
325 \helpref{ParseFormat}{wxdatetimeparseformat} which can parse any date in the
326 given (rigid) format. \helpref{ParseRfc822Date}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date} is
327 another function for parsing dates in predefined format -- the one of RFC 822
328 which (still...) defines the format of email messages on the Internet. This
329 format can not be described with {\tt strptime(3)}-like format strings used by
330 \helpref{Format}{wxdatetimeformat}, hence the need for a separate function.
331
332 But the most interesting functions are
333 \helpref{ParseTime}{wxdatetimeparsetime},
334 \helpref{ParseDate}{wxdatetimeparsedate} and
335 \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}. They try to parse the date
336 ans time (or only one of them) in `free' format, i.e. allow them to be
337 specified in any of possible ways. These functions will usually be used to
338 parse the (interactive) user input which is not bound to be in any predefined
339 format. As an example, \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime} can
340 parse the strings such as {\tt "tomorrow"}, {\tt "March first"} and even
341 {\tt "next Sunday"}.
342
343 \helpref{ParseRfc822Date}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date}\\
344 \helpref{ParseFormat}{wxdatetimeparseformat}\\
345 \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}\\
346 \helpref{ParseDate}{wxdatetimeparsedate}\\
347 \helpref{ParseTime}{wxdatetimeparsetime}\\
348 \helpref{Format}{wxdatetimeformat}\\
349 \helpref{FormatDate}{wxdatetimeformatdate}\\
350 \helpref{FormatTime}{wxdatetimeformattime}\\
351 \helpref{FormatISODate}{wxdatetimeformatisodate}\\
352 \helpref{FormatISOTime}{wxdatetimeformatisotime}
353
354 \membersection{Calendar calculations}\label{wxdatetimecalculations}
355
356 The functions in this section perform the basic calendar calculations, mostly
357 related to the week days. They allow to find the given week day in the
358 week with given number (either in the month or in the year) and so on.
359
360 All (non-const) functions in this section don't modify the time part of the
361 wxDateTime -- they only work with the date part of it.
362
363 \helpref{SetToWeekDayInSameWeek}{wxdatetimesettoweekdayinsameweek}\\
364 \helpref{GetWeekDayInSameWeek}{wxdatetimegetweekdayinsameweek}\\
365 \helpref{SetToNextWeekDay}{wxdatetimesettonextweekday}\\

379
380 \membersection{Astronomical/historical functions}
381
382 Some degree of support for the date units used in astronomy and/or history is
383 provided. You can construct a wxDateTime object from a
384 \helpref{JDN}{wxdatetimesetjdn} and you may also get its JDN,
385 \helpref{MJD}{wxdatetimegetmodifiedjuliandaynumber} or
386 \helpref{Rata Die number}{wxdatetimegetratadie} from it.

417 \membersection{wxDateTime::ConvertYearToBC}\label{wxdatetimeconvertyeartobc}
418
419 \func{static int}{ConvertYearToBC}{\param{int }{year}}
420
421 Converts the year in absolute notation (i.e. a number which can be negative,
422 positive or zero) to the year in BC/AD notation. For the positive years,
423 nothing is done, but the year 0 is year 1 BC and so for other years there is a
424 difference of 1.
425
426 This function should be used like this:
427
428 \begin{verbatim}
429 wxDateTime dt(...);
430 int y = dt.GetYear();
431 printf("The year is %d%s", wxDateTime::ConvertYearToBC(y), y > 0 ? "AD" : "BC");

1051
1052 This function parses the string {\it date} according to the given
1053 {\it format}. The system {\tt strptime(3)} function is used whenever available,
1054 but even if it is not, this function is still implemented, although support
1055 for locale-dependent format specifiers such as {\tt "\%c"}, {\tt "\%x"} or {\tt "\%X"} may
1056 not be perfect and GNU extensions such as {\tt "\%z"} and {\tt "\%Z"} are
1057 not implemented. This function does handle the month and weekday
1058 names in the current locale on all platforms, however.
1059
1060 Please see the description of the ANSI C function {\tt strftime(3)} for the syntax
1061 of the format string.
1062
1063 The {\it dateDef} parameter is used to fill in the fields which could not be
1064 determined from the format string. For example, if the format is {\tt "\%d"} (the
1065 ay of the month), the month and the year are taken from {\it dateDef}. If
1066 it is not specified, \helpref{Today}{wxdatetimetoday} is used as the
1067 default date.
1068
1069 Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
1070 the character which stopped the scan.

1073
1074 \func{const wxChar *}{ParseDateTime}{\param{const wxChar *}{datetime}}
1075
1076 Parses the string {\it datetime} containing the date and time in free format.
1077 This function tries as hard as it can to interpret the given string as date
1078 and time. Unlike \helpref{ParseRfc822Date}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date}, it
1079 will accept anything that may be accepted and will only reject strings which
1080 can not be parsed in any way at all.
1081
1082 Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
1083 the character which stopped the scan. This method is currently not
1084 implemented, so always returns NULL.
1085
1086 \membersection{wxDateTime::ParseDate}\label{wxdatetimeparsedate}
1087
1088 \func{const wxChar *}{ParseDate}{\param{const wxChar *}{date}}
1089
1090 This function is like \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}, but it
1091 only allows the date to be specified. It is thus less flexible then
1092 \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}, but also has less chances to
1093 misinterpret the user input.
1094
1095 Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
1096 the character which stopped the scan.

1101
1102 This functions is like \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}, but
1103 only allows the time to be specified in the input string.
1104
1105 Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
1106 the character which stopped the scan.

1111
1112 This function does the same as the standard ANSI C {\tt strftime(3)} function.
1113 Please see its description for the meaning of {\it format} parameter.
1114
1115 It also accepts a few wxWindows-specific extensions: you can optionally specify
1116 the width of the field to follow using {\tt printf(3)}-like syntax and the
1117 format specification {\tt \%l} can be used to get the number of milliseconds.
