87 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Abs
}\label{wxtimespanabs
}
89 \constfunc{wxTimeSpan
}{Abs
}{\void}
91 Returns the absolute value of the timespan: does not modify the

100 \func{wxTimeSpan\&

102 Returns the sum of two timespans.
104 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Days
}\label{wxtimespandays
}
106 \func{static wxTimespan
}{Days
}{\param{long
}{days
}}
108 Returns the timespan for the given number of days.
110 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Day
}\label{wxtimespanday
}
112 \func{static wxTimespan
}{Day
}{\void}
114 Returns the timespan for one day.
116 \membersection{wxTimeSpan::Format
}\label{wxtimespanformat
}
118 \func{wxString
}{Format
}{\param{const wxChar *
}{format = wxDefaultTimeSpanFormat
}}
120 Returns the string containing the formatted representation of the time span.
121 The following format specifiers are allowed after \%:
124 \begin{twocollist
}\itemsep=
0pt
125 \twocolitem{H
}{number of
{\bf H
}ours
}
126 \twocolitem{M
}{number of
{\bf M
}inutes
}
127 \twocolitem{S
}{number of
{\bf S
}econds
}
128 \twocolitem{l
}{number of mi
{\bf l
}liseconds
}
129 \twocolitem{D
}{number of
{\bf D
}ays
}
130 \twocolitem{E
}{number of w
{\bf E
}eks
}
131 \twocolitem{\%
}{the percent character
}
134 Note that, for example, the number of hours in the description above is not
135 well defined: it can be either the total number of hours (for example, for a
136 time span of $
50$ hours this would be $
50$) or just the hour part of the time
137 span, which would be $
2$ in this case as $
50$ hours is equal to $
2$ days and
140 wxTimeSpan resolves this ambiguity in the following way: if there had been,
141 indeed, the
{\tt \%D
} format specified preceding the
{\tt \%H
}, then it is
142 interpreted as $
2$. Otherwise, it is $
50$.
144 The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a specifier of
145 larger unit, only the rest part is taken, otherwise the full value is used.
