wxDate::wxDate

wxDate()

Default constructor.

wxDate(const wxDate& date)

Copy constructor.

wxDate(int month, int day, int year)

Constructor taking month, day and year.

wxDate(long julian)

Constructor taking an integer representing the Julian date. This is the number of days since 1st January 4713 B.C., so to convert from the number of days since 1st January 1901, construct a date for 1/1/1901, and add the number of days.

wxDate(const wxString& dateString)

Constructor taking a string representing a date. This must be either the string TODAY, or of the form MM/DD/YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY. For example:

  wxDate date("11/26/1966");
Parameters

date

month

day

year
