CalendarProtocol

public protocol CalendarProtocol : WidgetProtocol

GtkCalendar is a widget that displays a Gregorian calendar, one month at a time.

An example GtkCalendar

A GtkCalendar can be created with [ctorGtk.Calendar.new].

The date that is currently displayed can be altered with [methodGtk.Calendar.select_day].

To place a visual marker on a particular day, use [methodGtk.Calendar.mark_day] and to remove the marker, [methodGtk.Calendar.unmark_day]. Alternative, all marks can be cleared with [methodGtk.Calendar.clear_marks].

The selected date can be retrieved from a GtkCalendar using [methodGtk.Calendar.get_date].

Users should be aware that, although the Gregorian calendar is the legal calendar in most countries, it was adopted progressively between 1582 and 1929. Display before these dates is likely to be historically incorrect.

GtkCalendar has a main node with name calendar. It contains a subnode called header containing the widgets for switching between years and months.

The grid subnode contains all day labels, including week numbers on the left (marked with the .week-number css class) and day names on top (marked with the .day-name css class).

Day labels that belong to the previous or next month get the .other-month style class. The label of the current day get the .today style class.

Marked day labels get the :selected state assigned.

The CalendarProtocol protocol exposes the methods and properties of an underlying GtkCalendar instance. The default implementation of these can be found in the protocol extension below. For a concrete class that implements these methods and properties, see Calendar. Alternatively, use CalendarRef as a lighweight, unowned reference if you already have an instance you just want to use.

  • onNotifyDay(flags:handler:) Extension method

    The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.

    Note that getting this signal doesn’t itself guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed. When it is emitted is determined by the derived GObject class. If the implementor did not create the property with G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then any call to g_object_set_property() results in notify being emitted, even if the new value is the same as the old. If they did pass G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then this signal is emitted only when they explicitly call g_object_notify() or g_object_notify_by_pspec(), and common practice is to do that only when the value has actually changed.

    This signal is typically used to obtain change notification for a single property, by specifying the property name as a detail in the g_signal_connect() call, like this:

    (C Language Example):

    g_signal_connect (text_view->buffer, "notify::paste-target-list",
                      G_CALLBACK (gtk_text_view_target_list_notify),
                      text_view)
    

    It is important to note that you must use canonical parameter names as detail strings for the notify signal.

    Note

    This represents the underlying notify::day signal

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
    @inlinable
    func onNotifyDay(flags: ConnectFlags = ConnectFlags(0), handler: @escaping (_ unownedSelf: CalendarRef, _ pspec: ParamSpecRef) -> Void) -> Int

    Reference to instance of self

    pspec
