SYNOPSIS

use Curses::UI;
my $cui = new Curses::UI;
my $win = $cui−>add('window_id', 'Window');
my $calendar = $win−>add(
'mycalendar', 'Calendar',
−date => '2002−1−14'
);
$calendar−>focus();
my $date = $calendar−>get();

DESCRIPTION

Curses::UI::Calendar is a widget that can be used to create a calendar in which the user can select a date. The calendar widget looks like this:

+−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−+
| mmm dd yyyy |
+−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−+
| su mo tu we th fr sa |
| |
| 01 02 03 04 05 |
| 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 |
| 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
| 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 |
| 27 28 29 30 31 |
+−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−+

See exampes/demo−Curses::UI::Calendar in the distribution for a short demo.

STANDARD OPTIONS

−parent, −x, −y, −width, −height, −pad, −padleft, −padright, −padtop, −padbottom, −ipad, −ipadleft, −ipadright, −ipadtop, −ipadbottom, −title, −titlefullwidth, −titlereverse, −onfocus, −onblur

For an explanation of these standard options, see Curses::UI::Widget.

Remark: −width and −height can be set, but this widget really want to have its content space at a minimum size. If your −width or −height is not large enough, the widget will automatically fix its value.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

•

−date < DATE >

This option sets the date to start with. If you do not specify a date, today’s date will be used automatically. The format that you can use for this date is one of:

* YYYY-M-D (e.g. 2002−1−10 or 2002−01−10)

* YYYY/M/D (e.g. 2002/1/10 or 2002/01/10))

* YYYYMMDD (e.g. 20020110)

* D−M-YYYY (e.g. 10−1−2002 or 10/01/2002)

* D/M/YYYY (e.g. 10/1/2002 or 10/01/2002)

•

−onchange < CODEREF >

This sets the onChange event handler for the calendar widget. If a new date is selected, the code in CODEREF will be executed. It will get the widget reference as its argument.

•

−drawline < CODEREF >

This option specifies whether or not a line should be drawn under the calendar.

METHODS

	•		new ( OPTIONS )
	•		layout ( )
	•		draw ( BOOLEAN )
	•		focus ( )
	•		onFocus ( CODEREF )
	•		onBlur ( CODEREF )
	•		intellidraw ( )

These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Widget for an explanation of these.

•

get ( )

This method will return the currently selected date in the format ’YYYY−MM−DD’.

•

setdate ( DATE, [BOOLEAN] )

Set the selected date of the widget to DATE. See −date above for the possible formats. The widget will redraw itself, unless BOOLEAN has a true value.

•

onChange ( CODEREF )

This method can be used to set the −onchange event handler (see above) after initialization of the calendar.
