STANDARD OPTIONS

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.
