calendar_inheritance_tree.png

This is a calendar widget. It helps applications to flexibly display a calendar with day of the week, date, year and month. Applications are able to set specific dates to be reported back, when selected, in the smart callbacks of the calendar widget. The API of this widget lets the applications perform other functions, like:

This widget inherits from the Layout one, so that all the functions acting on it also work for calendar objects.

This widget emits the following signals, besides the ones sent from Elm_Layout:

void elm_calendar_interval_set ( Elm_Calendar *  obj,
double  interval 
)

Set the interval on time updates for an user mouse button hold on calendar widgets' month/year selection.

This interval value is decreased while the user holds the mouse pointer either selecting next or previous month/year.

This helps the user to get to a given month distant from the current one easier/faster, as it will start to change quicker and quicker on mouse button holds.

The calculation for the next change interval value, starting from the one set with this call, is the previous interval divided by 1.05, so it decreases a little bit.

The default starting interval value for automatic changes is 0.85 seconds.

See also elm_calendar_interval_get.

Since :

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]intervalThe (first) interval value in seconds
Elm_Calendar_Mark* elm_calendar_mark_add ( Elm_Calendar *  obj,
const char *  mark_type,
Elm_Calendar_Time *  mark_time,
Elm_Calendar_Mark_Repeat_Type  repeat 
)

Add a new mark to the calendar.

Add a mark that will be drawn in the calendar respecting the insertion time and periodicity. It will emit the type as signal to the widget theme. Default theme supports "holiday" and "checked", but it can be extended.

It won't immediately update the calendar, drawing the marks. For this, elm_calendar_marks_draw(). However, when user selects next or previous month calendar forces marks drawn.

Marks created with this method can be deleted with elm_calendar_mark_del().

See also elm_calendar_marks_draw, elm_calendar_mark_del().

Since :
2.4
Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]mark_typeA string used to define the type of mark. It will be emitted to the theme, that should display a related modification on these days representation.
[in]mark_timeA time struct to represent the date of inclusion of the mark. For marks that repeats it will just be displayed after the inclusion date in the calendar.
[in]repeatRepeat the event following this periodicity. Can be a unique mark (that don't repeat), daily, weekly, monthly or annually.

Delete mark from the calendar.

Parameters:
markThe mark to be deleted.

If deleting all calendar marks is required, elm_calendar_marks_clear() should be used instead of getting marks list and deleting each one.

See also:
elm_calendar_mark_add()
Since :

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
void elm_calendar_marks_draw ( Elm_Calendar *  obj)

Draw calendar marks.

Should be used after adding, removing or clearing marks. It will go through the entire marks list updating the calendar. If lots of marks will be added, add all the marks and then call this function.

When the month is changed, i.e. user selects next or previous month, marks will be drawn.
