10 @class wxDateTime
11
12 wxDateTime class represents an absolute moment in time.
13
14 The type @c wxDateTime_t is typedefed as <tt>unsigned short</tt> and is
15 used to contain the number of years, hours, minutes, seconds and
16 milliseconds.
17
18 Global constant ::wxDefaultDateTime and synonym for it ::wxInvalidDateTime are
19 defined. This constant will be different from any valid wxDateTime object.
20
21
22 @section datetime_static Static Functions
23
24 All static functions either set or return the static variables of
25 wxDateSpan (the country), return the current moment, year, month or number
26 of days in it, or do some general calendar-related actions.
27
28 Please note that although several function accept an extra Calendar
29 parameter, it is currently ignored as only the Gregorian calendar is
30 supported. Future versions will support other calendars.
31
32 @beginWxPythonOnly
33 These methods are standalone functions named
34 "wxDateTime_<StaticMethodName>" in wxPython.
35 @endWxPythonOnly

38 @section datetime_formatting Date Formatting and Parsing
39
40 The date formatting and parsing functions convert wxDateTime objects to and
41 from text. The conversions to text are mostly trivial: you can either do it
42 using the default date and time representations for the current locale
43 (FormatDate() and FormatTime()), using the international standard
44 representation defined by ISO 8601 (FormatISODate(), FormatISOTime() and
45 FormatISOCombined()) or by specifying any format at all and using Format()
46 directly.
47
48 The conversions from text are more interesting, as there are much more
49 possibilities to care about. The simplest cases can be taken care of with
50 ParseFormat() which can parse any date in the given (rigid) format.
51 ParseRfc822Date() is another function for parsing dates in predefined
52 format -- the one of RFC 822 which (still...) defines the format of email
53 messages on the Internet. This format cannot be described with
54 @c strptime(3)-like format strings used by Format(), hence the need for a
55 separate function.
56
57 But the most interesting functions are ParseTime(), ParseDate() and
58 ParseDateTime(). They try to parse the date and time (or only one of them)
59 in 'free' format, i.e. allow them to be specified in any of possible ways.
60 These functions will usually be used to parse the (interactive) user input
61 which is not bound to be in any predefined format. As an example,
62 ParseDate() can parse the strings such as "tomorrow", "March first" and
63 even "next Sunday".
64
65 Finally notice that each of the parsing functions is available in several
66 overloads: if the input string is a narrow (@c char *) string, then a
67 narrow pointer is returned. If the input string is a wide string, a wide
68 char pointer is returned. Finally, if the input parameter is a wxString, a
69 narrow char pointer is also returned for backwards compatibility but there
70 is also an additional argument of wxString::const_iterator type in which,
71 if it is not @NULL, an iterator pointing to the end of the scanned string
72 part is returned.

265 Sweden has a curious history. Sweden decided to make a gradual
266 change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. By dropping every
267 leap year from 1700 through 1740 the eleven superfluous days would
268 be omitted and from 1 Mar 1740 they would be in sync with the
269 Gregorian calendar. (But in the meantime they would be in sync with
270 nobody!)
271
272 So 1700 (which should have been a leap year in the Julian calendar)
273 was not a leap year in Sweden. However, by mistake 1704 and 1708
274 became leap years. This left Sweden out of synchronisation with
275 both the Julian and the Gregorian world, so they decided to go back
276 to the Julian calendar. In order to do this, they inserted an extra
277 day in 1712, making that year a double leap year! So in 1712,
278 February had 30 days in Sweden.
279
280 Later, in 1753, Sweden changed to the Gregorian calendar by
281 dropping 11 days like everyone else and this is what we use here.

1684 @class wxDateSpan
1685
1686 This class is a "logical time span" and is useful for implementing program
1687 logic for such things as "add one month to the date" which, in general,
1688 doesn't mean to add 60*60*24*31 seconds to it, but to take the same date
1689 the next month (to understand that this is indeed different consider adding
1690 one month to Feb, 15 -- we want to get Mar, 15, of course).
1691
1692 When adding a month to the date, all lesser components (days, hours, ...)
1693 won't be changed unless the resulting date would be invalid: for example,
1694 Jan 31 + 1 month will be Feb 28, not (non-existing) Feb 31.
1695
1696 Because of this feature, adding and subtracting back again the same
1697 wxDateSpan will @b not, in general, give back the original date: Feb 28 - 1
1698 month will be Jan 28, not Jan 31!
1699
1700 wxDateSpan objects can be either positive or negative. They may be
1701 multiplied by scalars which multiply all deltas by the scalar: i.e.
1702 2*(1 month and 1 day) is 2 months and 2 days. They can be added together
1703 with wxDateTime or wxTimeSpan, but the type of result is different for each
1704 case.
1705
1706 @warning If you specify both weeks and days, the total number of days added
1707 will be 7*weeks + days! See also GetTotalDays().
1708
1709 Equality operators are defined for wxDateSpans. Two wxDateSpans are equal
1710 if and only if they both give the same target date when added to @b every
1711 source date. Thus wxDateSpan::Months(1) is not equal to
1712 wxDateSpan::Days(30), because they don't give the same date when added to
1713 Feb 1st. But wxDateSpan::Days(14) is equal to wxDateSpan::Weeks(2).
1714
1715 Finally, notice that for adding hours, minutes and so on you don't need
1716 this class at all: wxTimeSpan will do the job because there are no
1717 subtleties associated with those (we don't support leap seconds).

2014 been, indeed, the @c %D format specified preceding the @c %H, then it
2015 is interpreted as 2. Otherwise, it is 50.
