@class wxDatePickerCtrl
@wxheader{datectrl.h}
- This control allows the user to select a date. Unlike
- wxCalendarCtrl, which is a relatively big control,
- wxDatePickerCtrl is implemented as a small window showing the currently
- selected date.
- The control can be edited using the keyboard, and can also display a popup
- window for more user-friendly date selection, depending on the styles used and
- the platform, except PalmOS where date is selected using native dialog.

It is only available if @c wxUSE_DATEPICKCTRL is set to 1.
@beginStyleTable
- @style{wxDP_SPIN}:
+ @style{wxDP_SPIN}
Creates a control without a month calendar drop down but with
spin-control-like arrows to change individual date components. This
style is not supported by the generic version.
- @style{wxDP_DROPDOWN}:
+ @style{wxDP_DROPDOWN}
Creates a control with a month calendar drop-down part from which
the user can select a date.
- @style{wxDP_DEFAULT}:
+ @style{wxDP_DEFAULT}
Creates a control with the style that is best supported for the
current platform (currently wxDP_SPIN under Windows and
wxDP_DROPDOWN elsewhere).
- @style{wxDP_ALLOWNONE}:
+ @style{wxDP_ALLOWNONE}
With this style, the control allows the user to not enter any valid
date at all. Without it - the default - the control always has some
valid date.
- @style{wxDP_SHOWCENTURY}:
+ @style{wxDP_SHOWCENTURY}
Forces display of the century in the default date format. Without
this style the century could be displayed, or not, depending on the
default date representation in the system.
@endStyleTable
- @beginEventTable
- @event{EVT_DATE_CHANGED(id, func)}:
+ @beginEventTable{wxDateEvent}
+ @event{EVT_DATE_CHANGED(id, func)}
This event fires when the user changes the current selection in the
control.
