Basic Usage

To use a calendar component in your application:

1. Add a calendar with the elm_calendar_add() function.

2. Select the month to display with the elm_calendar_selected_time_set() function:

   Evas_Object *calendar;
   Evas_Object *parent;
   time_t the_time;
   
   /* Set the current time to display the current month */
   time(&the_time); /* Get the current time */
   calendar = elm_calendar_add(parent);
   elm_calendar_selected_time_set(calendar, gmtime(&the_time));
   

3. Configure the month view:

   • Change the first day of the week (by default, Sunday).

     To change the first weekday to Monday:

     elm_calendar_first_day_of_week_set(calendar, ELM_DAY_MONDAY);
     

   • Modify the names of the weekdays using the elm_calendar_weekdays_names_set() function:

     const char *weekname[7] = {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G"};
     elm_calendar_weekdays_names_set(calendar, &weekname);
     

   • Mark holidays with the elm_calendar_mark_add() function.

     The following example shows how to mark a Sunday as holiday:

     struct tm *sunday = gmtime(&the_time);
     sunday->tm_mday -= sunday->tm_wday;
     sunday->tm_wday = 0;
     
     elm_calendar_mark_add(calendar, "holiday", sunday, ELM_CALENDAR_WEEKLY);
     

4. Register the callback functions.

   The following example shows how to define and register a callback for the changed signal:

   evas_object_smart_callback_add(calendar, "changed", changed_cb, data);
   
   void
   changed_cb(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
   {
       dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "Calendar is changed. \n");
   }
