///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Name: datetime.h // Purpose: interface of wxDateTime // Author: wxWidgets team // Licence: wxWindows licence ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /** @class wxDateTime wxDateTime class represents an absolute moment in time. The type @c wxDateTime_t is typedefed as unsigned short and is used to contain the number of years, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Global constant ::wxDefaultDateTime and synonym for it ::wxInvalidDateTime are defined. This constant will be different from any valid wxDateTime object. @section datetime_static Static Functions All static 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 Calendar parameter, it is currently ignored as only the Gregorian calendar is supported. Future versions will support other calendars. @section datetime_formatting Date Formatting and Parsing The date formatting and parsing functions convert wxDateTime objects 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 (FormatDate() and FormatTime()), using the international standard representation defined by ISO 8601 (FormatISODate(), FormatISOTime() and FormatISOCombined()) or by specifying any format at all and using Format() directly. The conversions from text are more interesting, as there are much more possibilities to care about. The simplest cases can be taken care of with ParseFormat() which can parse any date in the given (rigid) format. ParseRfc822Date() 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 cannot be described with @c strptime(3)-like format strings used by Format(), hence the need for a separate function. But the most interesting functions are ParseTime(), ParseDate() and ParseDateTime(). They try to parse the date and 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, ParseDate() can parse the strings such as "tomorrow", "March first" and even "next Sunday". Finally notice that each of the parsing functions is available in several overloads: if the input string is a narrow (@c char *) string, then a narrow pointer is returned. If the input string is a wide string, a wide char pointer is returned. Finally, if the input parameter is a wxString, a narrow char pointer is also returned for backwards compatibility but there is also an additional argument of wxString::const_iterator type in which, if it is not @NULL, an iterator pointing to the end of the scanned string part is returned. @library{wxbase} @category{data} @stdobjects - ::wxDefaultDateTime @see @ref overview_datetime, wxTimeSpan, wxDateSpan, wxCalendarCtrl */ class wxDateTime { public: /** A small unsigned integer type for storing things like minutes, seconds &c.

When adding a month to the date, all lesser components (days, hours, ...) won't be changed unless the resulting date would be invalid: for example, Jan 31 + 1 month will be Feb 28, not (non-existing) Feb 31. Because of this feature, adding and subtracting back again the same wxDateSpan will @b not, in general, give back the original date: Feb 28 - 1 month will be Jan 28, not Jan 31! wxDateSpan objects can be either positive or negative. They may be multiplied by scalars which multiply all deltas by the scalar: i.e. 2*(1 month and 1 day) is 2 months and 2 days. They can be added together with wxDateTime or wxTimeSpan, but the type of result is different for each case. @warning If you specify both weeks and days, the total number of days added will be 7*weeks + days! See also GetTotalDays(). Equality operators are defined for wxDateSpans. Two wxDateSpans are equal if and only if they both give the same target date when added to @b every source date. Thus wxDateSpan::Months(1) is not equal to wxDateSpan::Days(30), because they don't give the same date when added to Feb 1st. But wxDateSpan::Days(14) is equal to wxDateSpan::Weeks(2).
