\wxheading{Constants}
-Global constant {\tt wxDefaultDateTime} and synonym for it {\tt
-wxInvalidDateTime} are defined. This constant will be different from any valid
+Global constant {\tt wxDefaultDateTime} and synonym for it {\tt wxInvalidDateTime} are defined. This constant will be different from any valid
wxDateTime object.
All the following constants are defined inside wxDateTime class (i.e., to refer to
them you should prepend their names with {\tt wxDateTime::}).
-Time zone symbolic names:\label{wxdatetimetimezones}
+Time zone symbolic names:
\begin{verbatim}
enum TZ
\end{verbatim}
Month names: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec and
-Inv\_Month for an invalid.month value are the values of {\tt wxDateTime::Month}
+Inv\_Month for an invalid.month value are the values of {\tt wxDateTime::Month}
enum.
-Likely, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, and Inv\_WeekDay are the values in
+Likewise, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, and Inv\_WeekDay are the values in
{\tt wxDateTime::WeekDay} enum.
Finally, Inv\_Year is defined to be an invalid value for year parameter.
+\helpref{GetMonthName()}{wxdatetimegetmonthname} and
+\helpref{GetWeekDayName}{wxdatetimegetweekdayname} functions use the followign
+flags:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ enum NameFlags
+ {
+ Name_Full = 0x01, // return full name
+ Name_Abbr = 0x02 // return abbreviated name
+ };
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Several functions accept an extra parameter specifying the calendar to use
+(although most of them only support now the Gregorian calendar). This
+parameters is one of the following values:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ enum Calendar
+ {
+ Gregorian, // calendar currently in use in Western countries
+ Julian // calendar in use since -45 until the 1582 (or later)
+ };
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Date calculations often depend on the country and wxDateTime allows to set the
+country whose conventions should be used using
+\helpref{SetCountry}{wxdatetimesetcountry}. It takes one of the following
+values as parameter:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ enum Country
+ {
+ Country_Unknown, // no special information for this country
+ Country_Default, // set the default country with SetCountry() method
+ // or use the default country with any other
+
+ Country_WesternEurope_Start,
+ Country_EEC = Country_WesternEurope_Start,
+ France,
+ Germany,
+ UK,
+ Country_WesternEurope_End = UK,
+
+ Russia,
+
+ USA
+ };
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Different parst of the world use different conventions for the week start.
+In some countries, the week starts on Sunday, while in others - on Monday.
+The ISO standard doesn't address this issue, so we support both conventions in
+the functions whose result depends on it (\helpref{GetWeekOfYear}{wxdatetimegetweekofyear} and
+\helpref{GetWeekOfMonth}{wxdatetimegetweekofmonth}).
+
+The desired behvaiour may be specified by giving one of the following
+constants as argument to these functions:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ enum WeekFlags
+ {
+ Default_First, // Sunday_First for US, Monday_First for the rest
+ Monday_First, // week starts with a Monday
+ Sunday_First // week starts with a Sunday
+ };
+\end{verbatim}

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

+should use \helpref{IsValid}{wxdatetimeisvalid} method to check that the
+values were correct as constructors can not return an error code.

\membersection{Accessors}
+Here are the trivial accessors. Other functions, which might have to perform
+some more complicated calculations to find the answer are under the
+\helpref{Calendar calculations}{wxdatetimecalculations} section.
+
+\helpref{IsValid}{wxdatetimeisvalid}\\
+\helpref{GetTicks}{wxdatetimegetticks}\\
+\helpref{GetYear}{wxdatetimegetyear}\\
+\helpref{GetMonth}{wxdatetimegetmonth}\\
+\helpref{GetDay}{wxdatetimegetday}\\
+\helpref{GetWeekDay}{wxdatetimegetweekday}\\
+\helpref{GetHour}{wxdatetimegethour}\\
+\helpref{GeTMinute}{wxdatetimegetminute}\\

+\helpref{IsWorkDay}{wxdatetimeisworkday}\\
+\helpref{IsGregorianDate}{wxdatetimeisgregoriandate}
+
\membersection{Date comparison}
+There are several function to allow date comparison. To supplement them, a few
+global operators $>$, $<$ etc taking wxDateTime are defined.
+
+\helpref{IsEqualTo}{wxdatetimeisequalto}\\
+\helpref{IsEarlierThan}{wxdatetimeisearlierthan}\\
+\helpref{IsLaterThan}{wxdatetimeislaterthan}\\
+\helpref{IsStrictlyBetween}{wxdatetimeisstrictlybetween}\\
+\helpref{IsBetween}{wxdatetimeisbetween}\\
+\helpref{IsSameDate}{wxdatetimeissamedate}\\
+\helpref{IsSameTime}{wxdatetimeissametime}\\
+\helpref{IsEqualUpTo}{wxdatetimeisequalupto}
+
\membersection{Date arithmetics}
+These functions carry out \helpref{arithmetics}{tdatearithm} on the wxDateTime
+objects. As explained in the overview, either wxTimeSpan or wxDateSpan may be
+added to wxDateTime, hence all functions are overloaded to accept both
+arguments.
+
+Also, both {\tt Add()} and {\tt Subtract()} have both const and non-const
+version. The first one returns a new obejct which represents the
+sum/difference of the original one with the argument while the second form
+modifies the object to which it is applied. The operators $-=$ and $+=$ are
+defined to be equivalent to the second forms of these functions.
+
+\helpref{Add(wxTimeSpan)}{wxdatetimeaddts}\\
+\helpref{Add(wxDateSpan)}{wxdatetimeaddds}\\
+\helpref{Subtract(wxTimeSpan)}{wxdatetimesubtractts}\\
+\helpref{Subtract(wxDateSpan)}{wxdatetimesubtractds}\\
+\helpref{Subtract(wxDateTime)}{wxdatetimesubtractdt}\\
+\helpref{oparator$+=$(wxTimeSpan)}{wxdatetimeaddts}\\
+\helpref{oparator$+=$(wxDateSpan)}{wxdatetimeaddds}\\
+\helpref{oparator$-=$(wxTimeSpan)}{wxdatetimesubtractts}\\
+\helpref{oparator$-=$(wxDateSpan)}{wxdatetimesubtractds}
+
\membersection{Parsing and formatting dates}
-\membersection{Calendar calculations}
+These functions perform convert wxDateTime obejcts to and from text. The
+conversions to text are mostly trivial: you can either do it using the default
+date and time representations for the current locale (
+\helpref{FormatDate}{wxdatetimeformatdate} and
+\helpref{FormatTime}{wxdatetimeformattime}), using the international standard
+representation defined by ISO 8601 (
+\helpref{FormatISODate}{wxdatetimeformatisodate} and
+\helpref{FormatISOTime}{wxdatetimeformatisotime}) or by specifying any format
+at all and using \helpref{Format}{wxdatetimeformat} directly.
+
+The conversions from text are more interesting, as there are much more
+possibilities to care about. The simples cases can be taken care of with
+\helpref{ParseFormat}{wxdatetimeparseformat} which can parse any date in the
+given (rigid) format. \helpref{ParseRfc822Date}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date} is
+another function for parsing dates in predefined format - the one of RFC 822
+which (still...) defines the format of email messages on the Internet. This
+format can not be described with {\tt strptime(3)}-like format strings used by
+\helpref{Format}{wxdatetimeformat}, hence the need for a separate function.
+
+But the most interesting functions are
+\helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime} and
+\helpref{ParseDate}{wxdatetimeparsedate} and
+\helpref{ParseTime}{wxdatetimeparsetime}. They try to parse the date ans time
+(or only one of them) in `free' format, i.e. allow them to be specified in any
+of possible ways. These functions will usually be used to parse the
+(interactive) user input which is not bound to be in any predefined format. As
+an example, \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime} can parse the
+strings such as {\tt "tomorrow"}, {\tt "March first"}, {\tt "next Sunday"}.
+
+\helpref{ParseRfc822Date}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date}\\
+\helpref{ParseFormat}{wxdatetimeparseformat}\\
+\helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}\\
+\helpref{ParseDate}{wxdatetimeparsedate}\\
+\helpref{ParseTime}{wxdatetimeparsetime}\\
+\helpref{Format}{wxdatetimeformat}\\
+\helpref{FormatDate}{wxdatetimeformatdate}\\
+\helpref{FormatTime}{wxdatetimeformattime}\\
+\helpref{FormatISODate}{wxdatetimeformatisodate}\\
+\helpref{FormatISOTime}{wxdatetimeformatisotime}
+
+\membersection{Calendar calculations}\label{wxdatetimecalculations}
+
+The functions in this section perform the basic calendar calculations, mostly
+related to the week days. They allow to find the given week day in the
+week with given number (either in the month or in the year) and so on.
+
+All (non-const) functions in this section don't modify the time part of the
+wxDateTime - they only work with the date part of it.
+
+\helpref{SetToWeekDayInSameWeek}{wxdatetimesettoweekdayinsameweek}\\
+\helpref{GetWeekDayInSameWeek}{wxdatetimegetweekdayinsameweek}\\
+\helpref{SetToNextWeekDay}{wxdatetimesettonextweekday}\\
+\helpref{GetNextWeekDay}{wxdatetimegetnextweekday}\\
+\helpref{SetToPrevWeekDay}{wxdatetimesettoprevweekday}\\
+\helpref{GetPrevWeekDay}{wxdatetimegetprevweekday}\\

+\helpref{SetToYearDay}{wxdatetimesettoyearday}\\
+\helpref{GetYearDay}{wxdatetimegetyearday}
\membersection{Astronomical/historical functions}
-\membersection{Time zone support}
+Some degree of support for the date units used in astronomy and/or history is
+provided. You can construct a wxDateTime object from a
+\helpref{JDN}{wxdatetimesetjdn} and you may also get its JDN,
+\helpref{MJD}{wxdatetimegetmodifiedjuliandaynumber} or
+\helpref{Rata Die number}{wxdatetimegetratadie} from it.
+
+\helpref{wxDateTime(double jdn)}{wxdatetimewxdatetimejdn}\\
+\helpref{Set(double jdn)}{wxdatetimesetjdn}\\
+\helpref{GetJulianDayNumber}{wxdatetimegetjuliandaynumber}\\
+\helpref{GetJDN}{wxdatetimegetjdn}\\
+\helpref{GetModifiedJulianDayNumber}{wxdatetimegetmodifiedjuliandaynumber}\\
+\helpref{GetMJD}{wxdatetimegetmjd}\\
+\helpref{GetRataDie}{wxdatetimegetratadie}
+
+\membersection{Time zone and DST support}
+
+Please see the \helpref{time zone overview}{tdatetimezones} for more
+information about time zones. ormally, these functions should be rarely used.

+\membersection{wxDateTime::ParseRfc822Date}\label{wxdatetimeparserfc822date}
+
+\func{const wxChar *}{ParseRfc822Date}{\param{const wxChar* }{date}}
+
+Parses the string {\it date} looking for a date formatted according to the RFC
+822 in it. The exact description of this format may, of course, be found in
+the RFC (section $5$), but, briefly, this is the format used in the headers of
+Internet email messages and one of the most common strings expressing date in
+this format may be something like {\tt "Sat, 18 Dec 1999 00:48:30 +0100"}.
+
+Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
+the character immediately following the part of the string which could be
+parsed. If the entire string contains only the date in RFC 822 format,
+the returned pointer will be pointing to a {\tt NUL} character.
+
+This function is intenionally strict, it will return an error for any string
+which is not RFC 822 compliant. If you need to parse date formatted in more
+free ways, you should use \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime} or
+\helpref{ParseDate}{wxdatetimeparsedate} instead.
+
+\membersection{wxDateTime::ParseFormat}\label{wxdatetimeparseformat}
+
+\func{const wxChar *}{ParseFormat}{\param{const wxChar *}{date}, \param{const wxChar *}{format = "\%c"}, \param{const wxDateTime\& }{dateDef = wxDefaultDateTime}}
+
+This function parses the string {\it date} according to the given
+{\it format}. The system {\tt strptime(3)} function is used whenever available,
+but even if it is not, this function is still implemented (although support
+for locale-dependent format specificators such as {\tt "\%c"}, {\tt "\%x"} or
+{\tt "\%X"} may be not perfect). This function does handle the month and
+weekday names in the current locale on all platforms, however.
+
+Please the description of ANSI C function {\tt strftime(3)} for the syntax of
+the format string.
+
+The {\it dateDef} parameter is used to fill in the fields which could not be
+determined from the format string. For example, if the format is {\tt "\%d"}
+(the day of the month), the month and the year are taken from {\it dateDef}.
+If it is not specified, \helpref{Today}{wxdatetimetoday} is used as the
+default date.
+
+Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
+the character which stopped the scan.
+
+\membersection{wxDateTime::ParseDateTime}\label{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}
+
+\func{const wxChar *}{ParseDateTime}{\param{const wxChar *}{datetime}}
+
+Parses the string {\it datetime} containing the date and time in free format.
+This function tries as hard as it can to interpret the given string as date
+and time. Unlike \helpref{ParseRfc822Date}{wxdatetimeparserfc822date}, it
+will accept anything that may be accepted and will only reject strings which
+can not be parsed in any way at all.
+
+Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
+the character which stopped the scan.
+
+\membersection{wxDateTime::ParseDate}\label{wxdatetimeparsedate}
+
+\func{const wxChar *}{ParseDate}{\param{const wxChar *}{date}}
+
+This function is like \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}, but it
+only allows the date to be specified. It is thus less flexible then
+\helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}, but also has less chances to
+misinterpret the user input.
+
+Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
+the character which stopped the scan.
+
+\membersection{wxDateTime::ParseTime}\label{wxdatetimeparsetime}
+
+\func{const wxChar *}{ParseTime}{\param{const wxChar *}{time}}
+
+This functions is like \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime}, but
+only allows the time to be specified in the input string.
+
+Returns {\tt NULL} if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to
+the character which stopped the scan.
+
+\membersection{wxDateTime::Format}\label{wxdatetimeformat}
+
+\constfunc{wxString }{Format}{\param{const wxChar *}{format = "\%c"}, \param{const TimeZone\& }{tz = Local}}
+
+This function does the same as the standard ANSI C {\tt strftime(3)} function.
+Please see its description for the meaning of {\it format} parameter.
+
+It also accepts a few wxWindows-specific extensions: you can optionally specify
+the width of the field to follow using {\tt printf(3)}-like syntax and the
+format specificator {\tt \%l} can be used to get the number of milliseconds.
