12 wxDateTime class represents an absolute moment in time.
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
18 Global constant ::wxDefaultDateTime and synonym for it ::wxInvalidDateTime are
19 defined. This constant will be different from any valid wxDateTime object.
22 @section datetime_static Static Functions
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.
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.
33 These methods are standalone functions named
34 "wxDateTime_<StaticMethodName>" in wxPython.
38 @section datetime_formatting Date Formatting and Parsing
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()
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
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
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
81 @see @ref overview_datetime, wxTimeSpan, wxDateSpan, wxCalendarCtrl
87 A small unsigned integer type for storing things like minutes,
88 seconds &c. It should be at least short (i.e. not char) to contain
89 the number of milliseconds - it may also be 'int' because there is
90 no size penalty associated with it in our code, we don't store any

244 The Gregorian calendar was introduced twice in Groningen, first
245 time 28 Feb 1583 was followed by 11 Mar 1583, then it has gone back
246 to Julian in the summer of 1584 and then 13 Dec 1700 was followed

263 Special case of Sweden.
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
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.
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.

776 them, a few global operators, etc taking wxDateTime are defined.
781 Returns @true if this date precedes the given one.
783 bool IsEarlierThan(const wxDateTime
& datetime
) const;
786 Returns @true if the two dates are strictly identical.
788 bool IsEqualTo(const wxDateTime
& datetime
) const;
791 Returns @true if the date is equal to another one up to the given time
792 interval, i.e. if the absolute difference between the two dates is less
795 bool IsEqualUpTo(const wxDateTime
& dt
, const wxTimeSpan
& ts
) const;
798 Returns @true if this date is later than the given one.
800 bool IsLaterThan(const wxDateTime
& datetime
) const;
803 Returns @true if the date is the same without comparing the time parts.
805 bool IsSameDate(const wxDateTime
& dt
) const;
808 Returns @true if the time is the same (although dates may differ).
810 bool IsSameTime(const wxDateTime
& dt
) const;
813 Returns @true if this date lies strictly between the two given dates.
817 bool IsStrictlyBetween(const wxDateTime
& t1
,
818 const wxDateTime
& t2
) const;
821 Returns @true if IsStrictlyBetween() is @true or if the date is equal
822 to one of the limit values.
824 @see IsStrictlyBetween()
826 bool IsBetween(const wxDateTime
& t1
, const wxDateTime
& t2
) const;
833 @name Date Arithmetics
835 These functions carry out
836 @ref overview_datetime_arithmetics "arithmetics" on the wxDateTime
837 objects. As explained in the overview, either wxTimeSpan or wxDateSpan
838 may be added to wxDateTime, hence all functions are overloaded to
839 accept both arguments.
841 Also, both Add() and Subtract() have both const and non-const version.
842 The first one returns a new object which represents the sum/difference
843 of the original one with the argument while the second form modifies
844 the object to which it is applied. The operators "-=" and "+=" are
845 defined to be equivalent to the second forms of these functions.
850 Adds the given date span to this object.
853 This method is named "AddDS" in wxPython.
856 wxDateTime
Add(const wxDateSpan
& diff
) const;
858 Adds the given date span to this object.
861 This method is named "AddDS" in wxPython.
864 wxDateTime
Add(const wxDateSpan
& diff
);
866 Adds the given time span to this object.
869 This method is named "AddTS" in wxPython.
872 wxDateTime
Add(const wxTimeSpan
& diff
) const;
874 Adds the given time span to this object.
877 This method is named "AddTS" in wxPython.
880 wxDateTime
& Add(const wxTimeSpan
& diff
);
883 Subtracts the given time span from this object.
886 This method is named "SubtractTS" in wxPython.
889 wxDateTime
Subtract(const wxTimeSpan
& diff
) const;
891 Subtracts the given time span from this object.
894 This method is named "SubtractTS" in wxPython.
897 wxDateTime
& Subtract(const wxTimeSpan
& diff
);
899 Subtracts the given date span from this object.
902 This method is named "SubtractDS" in wxPython.
905 wxDateTime
Subtract(const wxDateSpan
& diff
) const;
907 Subtracts the given date span from this object.
910 This method is named "SubtractDS" in wxPython.
913 wxDateTime
& Subtract(const wxDateSpan
& diff
);
915 Subtracts another date from this one and returns the difference between
916 them as a wxTimeSpan.
918 wxTimeSpan
Subtract(const wxDateTime
& dt
) const;
921 Adds the given date span to this object.
923 wxDateTime
& operator+=(const wxDateSpan
& diff
);
925 Subtracts the given date span from this object.
927 wxDateTime
& operator-=(const wxDateSpan
& diff
);
929 Adds the given time span to this object.
931 wxDateTime
& operator+=(const wxTimeSpan
& diff
);
933 Subtracts the given time span from this object.
935 wxDateTime
& operator-=(const wxTimeSpan
& diff
);
942 @name Date Formatting and Parsing
944 See @ref datetime_formatting
949 This function does the same as the standard ANSI C @c strftime(3)
950 function (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ctime/strftime.html).
951 Please see its description for the meaning of @a format parameter.
953 It also accepts a few wxWidgets-specific extensions: you can optionally
954 specify the width of the field to follow using @c printf(3)-like syntax
955 and the format specification @c "%l" can be used to get the number of
960 wxString
Format(const wxString
& format
= wxDefaultDateTimeFormat
,
961 const TimeZone
& tz
= Local
) const;
964 Identical to calling Format() with @c "%x" argument (which means
965 "preferred date representation for the current locale").
967 wxString
FormatDate() const;
970 Returns the combined date-time representation in the ISO 8601 format
971 @c "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS". The @a sep parameter default value produces
972 the result exactly corresponding to the ISO standard, but it can also
973 be useful to use a space as separator if a more human-readable combined
974 date-time representation is needed.
976 @see FormatISODate(), FormatISOTime(), ParseISOCombined()
978 wxString
FormatISOCombined(char sep
= 'T') const;
981 This function returns the date representation in the ISO 8601 format
984 wxString
FormatISODate() const;
987 This function returns the time representation in the ISO 8601 format
990 wxString
FormatISOTime() const;
993 Identical to calling Format() with @c "%X" argument (which means
994 "preferred time representation for the current locale").
996 wxString
FormatTime() const;
999 This function is like ParseDateTime(), but it only allows the date to
1002 It is thus less flexible then ParseDateTime(), but also has less
1003 chances to misinterpret the user input.
1005 See ParseFormat() for the description of function parameters and return
1010 bool ParseDate(const wxString
& date
, wxString::const_iterator
*end
);
1013 Parses the string @a datetime containing the date and time in free
1016 This function tries as hard as it can to interpret the given string as
1017 date and time. Unlike ParseRfc822Date(), it will accept anything that
1018 may be accepted and will only reject strings which cannot be parsed in
1019 any way at all. Notice that the function will fail if either date or
1020 time part is present but not both, use ParseDate() or ParseTime() to
1021 parse strings containing just the date or time component.
1023 See ParseFormat() for the description of function parameters and return
1026 bool ParseDateTime(const wxString
& datetime
, wxString::const_iterator
*end
);
1029 This function parses the string @a date according to the given
1030 @e format. The system @c strptime(3) function is used whenever
1031 available, but even if it is not, this function is still implemented,
1032 although support for locale-dependent format specifiers such as
1033 @c "%c", @c "%x" or @c "%X" may not be perfect and GNU extensions such
1034 as @c "%z" and @c "%Z" are not implemented. This function does handle
1035 the month and weekday names in the current locale on all platforms,
1038 Please see the description of the ANSI C function @c strftime(3) for
1039 the syntax of the format string.
1041 The @a dateDef parameter is used to fill in the fields which could not
1042 be determined from the format string. For example, if the format is
1043 @c "%d" (the day of the month), the month and the year are taken from
1044 @a dateDef. If it is not specified, Today() is used as the default
1047 Example of using this function:
1050 wxString str = "...";
1051 wxString::const_iterator end;
1052 if ( !dt.ParseFormat(str, "%Y-%m-%d", &end) )
1053 ... parsing failed ...
1054 else if ( end == str.end() )
1055 ... entire string parsed ...
1057 ... wxString(end, str.end()) left over ...
1061 The string to be parsed.
1063 strptime()-like format string.
1065 Used to fill in the date components not specified in the @a date
1068 Will be filled with the iterator pointing to the location where the
1069 parsing stopped if the function returns @true. If the entire string
1070 was consumed, it is set to @c date.end(). Notice that this argument
1073 @true if at least part of the string was parsed successfully,
1078 bool ParseFormat(const wxString
& date
,
1079 const wxString
& format
,
1080 const wxDateTime
& dateDef
,
1081 wxString::const_iterator
*end
);
1086 bool ParseFormat(const wxString
& date
,
1087 const wxString
& format
,
1088 wxString::const_iterator
*end
);
1093 bool ParseFormat(const wxString
& date
, wxString::const_iterator
*end
);
1096 This function parses the string containing the date and time in ISO
1097 8601 combined format @c "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS". The separator between
1098 the date and time parts must be equal to @a sep for the function to
1101 @return @true if the entire string was parsed successfully, @false
1104 bool ParseISOCombined(const wxString
& date
, char sep
= 'T');
1107 This function parses the date in ISO 8601 format @c "YYYY-MM-DD".
1109 @return @true if the entire string was parsed successfully, @false
1112 bool ParseISODate(const wxString
& date
);
1115 This function parses the time in ISO 8601 format @c "HH:MM:SS".
1117 @return @true if the entire string was parsed successfully, @false
1120 bool ParseISOTime(const wxString
& date
);
1123 Parses the string @a date looking for a date formatted according to the
1124 RFC 822 in it. The exact description of this format may, of course, be
1125 found in the RFC (section 5), but, briefly, this is the format used in
1126 the headers of Internet email messages and one of the most common
1127 strings expressing date in this format may be something like
1128 @c "Sat, 18 Dec 1999 00:48:30 +0100".
1130 Returns @NULL if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
1131 the character immediately following the part of the string which could
1132 be parsed. If the entire string contains only the date in RFC 822
1133 format, the returned pointer will be pointing to a @c NUL character.
1135 This function is intentionally strict, it will return an error for any
1136 string which is not RFC 822 compliant. If you need to parse date
1137 formatted in more free ways, you should use ParseDateTime() or
1138 ParseDate() instead.
1140 See ParseFormat() for the description of function parameters and return
1143 bool ParseRfc822Date(const wxString
& date
, wxString::const_iterator
*end
);
1146 This functions is like ParseDateTime(), but only allows the time to be
1147 specified in the input string.
1149 See ParseFormat() for the description of function parameters and return
1152 bool ParseTime(const wxString
& time
, wxString::const_iterator
*end
);
1159 @name Calendar Calculations
1161 The functions in this section perform the basic calendar calculations,
1162 mostly related to the week days. They allow to find the given week day
1163 in the week with given number (either in the month or in the year) and
1166 None of the functions in this section modify the time part of the
1167 wxDateTime, they only work with the date part of it.
1172 Returns the copy of this object to which SetToLastMonthDay() was
1175 wxDateTime
GetLastMonthDay(Month month
= Inv_Month
,
1176 int year

1207 wxDateTime
GetWeekDayInSameWeek(WeekDay weekday
,
1208 WeekFlags flags
= Monday_First
) const;
1211 Returns the copy of this object to which SetToYearDay() was applied.
1213 wxDateTime
GetYearDay(wxDateTime_t yday
) const;
1216 Sets the date to the last day in the specified month (the current one
1219 @return The reference to the modified object itself.
1221 wxDateTime
& SetToLastMonthDay(Month month
= Inv_Month
, int year
= Inv_Year
);
1224 The effect of calling this function is the same as of calling
1225 @c SetToWeekDay(-1, weekday, month, year). The date will be set to the
1226 last @a weekday in the given month and year (the current ones by
1227 default). Always returns @true.
1229 bool SetToLastWeekDay(WeekDay weekday
, Month month
= Inv_Month
,
1230 int year
= Inv_Year
);
1233 Sets the date so that it will be the first @a weekday following the
1236 @return The reference to the modified object itself.
1238 wxDateTime
& SetToNextWeekDay(WeekDay weekday
);
1241 Sets the date so that it will be the last @a weekday before the current
1244 @return The reference to the modified object itself.
1246 wxDateTime
& SetToPrevWeekDay(WeekDay weekday
);
1249 Sets the date to the @e n-th @a weekday in the given month of the given
1250 year (the current month and year are used by default). The parameter
1251 @a n may be either positive (counting from the beginning of the month)
1252 or negative (counting from the end of it).
1254 For example, SetToWeekDay(2, wxDateTime::Wed) will set the date to the
1255 second Wednesday in the current month and
1256 SetToWeekDay(-1, wxDateTime::Sun) will set the date to the last Sunday
1257 in the current month.
1259 @return @true if the date was modified successfully, @false otherwise
1260 meaning that the specified date doesn't exist.
1262 bool SetToWeekDay(WeekDay weekday
, int n
= 1,
1263 Month month
= Inv_Month
, int year
= Inv_Year
);
1266 Adjusts the date so that it will still lie in the same week as before,
1267 but its week day will be the given one.
1269 @return The reference to the modified object itself.
1271 wxDateTime
& SetToWeekDayInSameWeek(WeekDay weekday
,
1272 WeekFlags flags
= Monday_First
);
1275 Sets the date to the day number @a yday in the same year (i.e., unlike
1276 the other functions, this one does not use the current year). The day
1277 number should be in the range 1-366 for the leap years and 1-365 for
1280 @return The reference to the modified object itself.
1282 wxDateTime
& SetToYearDay(wxDateTime_t yday
);
1289 @name Astronomical/Historical Functions
1291 Some degree of support for the date units used in astronomy and/or
1292 history is provided. You can construct a wxDateTime object from a
1293 JDN and you may also get its JDN, MJD or Rata Die number from it.
1295 Related functions in other groups: wxDateTime(double), Set(double)
1300 Synonym for GetJulianDayNumber().
1302 double GetJDN() const;
1305 Returns the JDN corresponding to this date. Beware of rounding errors!
1307 @see GetModifiedJulianDayNumber()
1309 double GetJulianDayNumber() const;
1312 Synonym for GetModifiedJulianDayNumber().
1314 double GetMJD() const;
1317 Returns the @e "Modified Julian Day Number" (MJD) which is, by
1318 definition, is equal to JDN - 2400000.5.
1319 The MJDs are simpler to work with as the integral MJDs correspond to
1320 midnights of the dates in the Gregorian calendar and not the noons like
1321 JDN. The MJD 0 represents Nov 17, 1858.
1323 double GetModifiedJulianDayNumber() const;
1326 Return the @e Rata Die number of this date.
1328 By definition, the Rata Die number is a date specified as the number of
1329 days relative to a base date of December 31 of the year 0. Thus January
1330 1 of the year 1 is Rata Die day 1.
1332 double GetRataDie() const;

1351 @a noDST is @true, no DST adjustments will be made.
1353 @return The date in the local time zone.
1355 wxDateTime
FromTimezone(const TimeZone

1358 Returns @true if the DST is applied for this date in the given country.
1360 @see GetBeginDST(), GetEndDST()
1362 int IsDST(Country country
= Country_Default

1370 Modifies the object in place to represent the date in another time
1371 zone. If @a noDST is @true, no DST adjustments will be made.
1373 wxDateTime
& MakeTimezone(const TimeZone
& tz
, bool noDST
= false);
1376 This is the same as calling MakeTimezone() with the argument @c GMT0.
1378 wxDateTime
& MakeUTC(bool noDST
= false);
1381 Transform the date to the given time zone. If @a noDST is @true, no DST
1382 adjustments will be made.
1384 @return The date in the new time zone.
1386 wxDateTime
ToTimezone(const TimeZone
& tz
, bool noDST
= false) const;
1389 This is the same as calling ToTimezone() with the argument @c GMT0.
1391 wxDateTime
ToUTC(bool noDST
= false) const;
1400 Converts the year in absolute notation (i.e. a number which can be
1401 negative, positive or zero) to the year in BC/AD notation. For the
1402 positive years, nothing is done, but the year 0 is year 1 BC and so for
1403 other years there is a difference of 1.
1405 This function should be used like this:
1409 int y = dt.GetYear();

1554 pointer to a static buffer that's reused by calls to this function and
1555 certain C library functions (e.g. localtime). If there is any chance
1556 your code might be used in a multi-threaded application, you really

1628 passed to this function because both the week 1 and week 52 or 53 (for
1629 leap years) contain days from different years. See GetWeekOfYear() for
1630 the explanation of how the year weeks are counted.

1668 @class wxDateTimeWorkDays
1670 @todo Write wxDateTimeWorkDays documentation.
1675 class wxDateTimeWorkDays
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).
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.
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!
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
1706 @warning If you specify both weeks and days, the total number of days added
1707 will be 7*weeks + days! See also GetTotalDays().
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).
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).

1996 Returns the string containing the formatted representation of the time
1997 span. The following format specifiers are allowed after %:
1999 - @c H - Number of Hours

2001 - @c S - Number of Seconds
2002 - @c l - Number of Milliseconds
2003 - @c D - Number of Days
2004 - @c E - Number of Weeks
2005 - @c % - The percent character
2007 Note that, for example, the number of hours in the description above is
2008 not well defined: it can be either the total number of hours (for
2009 example, for a time span of 50 hours this would be 50) or just the hour
2010 part of the time span, which would be 2 in this case as 50 hours is
2011 equal to 2 days and 2 hours.
2013 wxTimeSpan resolves this ambiguity in the following way: if there had
2014 been, indeed, the @c %D format specified preceding the @c %H, then it
2015 is interpreted as 2. Otherwise, it is 50.
2017 The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a
2018 specifier of larger unit, only the rest part is taken, otherwise the
