Description

CtkCalendar is a widget that displays a Gregorian calendar, one month at a time. It can be created with ctk_calendar_new().

The month and year currently displayed can be altered with ctk_calendar_select_month(). The exact day can be selected from the displayed month using ctk_calendar_select_day().

To place a visual marker on a particular day, use ctk_calendar_mark_day() and to remove the marker, ctk_calendar_unmark_day(). Alternative, all marks can be cleared with ctk_calendar_clear_marks().

The way in which the calendar itself is displayed can be altered using ctk_calendar_set_display_options().

The selected date can be retrieved from a CtkCalendar using ctk_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.
