Remarks

The month calendar control provides the user with a simple calendar interface, from which the user can select a date. The user can change the display by:

  • Scrolling backward and forward, from month to month.

  • Clicking the Today text to display the current day (if the MCS_NOTODAY style is not used).

  • Picking a month or a year from a pop-up menu.

You can customize the month calendar control by applying a variety of styles to the object when you create it. These styles are described in Month Calendar Control Styles in the Windows SDK.

The month calendar control can display more than one month, and it can indicate special days (such as holidays) by bolding the date.

CMonthCalCtrl::CMonthCalCtrl

Constructs a CMonthCalCtrl object.

CMonthCalCtrl();

Remarks

You must call Create after you construct the object.

CMonthCalCtrl::Create

Creates a month calendar control and attaches it to the CMonthCalCtrl object.

virtual BOOL Create(
    DWORD dwStyle,  
    const RECT& rect,  
    CWnd* pParentWnd,  
    UINT nID);

 
virtual BOOL Create(
    DWORD dwStyle,  
    const POINT& pt,  
    CWnd* pParentWnd,  
    UINT nID);

Parameters

dwStyle
Specifies the combination of Windows styles applied to the month calendar control. See Month Calendar Control Styles in the Windows SDK for more information about the styles.

rect
A reference to a RECT structure. Contains the position and size of the month calendar control.

pt
A reference to a POINT structure that identifies the location of the month calendar control.

pParentWnd
A pointer to a CWnd object that is the parent window of the month calendar control. It must not be NULL.

nID
Specifies the month calendar control's control ID.

Return Value

Nonzero if initialization was successful; otherwise 0.

Remarks

Create a month calendar control in two steps:

  1. Call CMonthCalCtrl to construct a CMonthCalCtrl object.

  2. Call this member function, which creates a month calendar control and attaches it to the CMonthCalCtrl object.

When you call Create, the common controls are initialized. The version of Create you call determines how it is sized:

  • To have MFC automatically size the control to one month, call the override that uses the pt parameter.

  • To size the control yourself, call the override of this function that uses the rect parameter.

Example

   // Given two member objects m_calCtrl1 and m_calCtrl2, we can
   // create them in one of two ways.

   // Providing a point has the control with its top-left corner
   // at that point and sized automatically to show one month
   // page.

   CPoint pt(10, 10);
   VERIFY(m_calCtrl1.Create(WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | 
      WS_BORDER | MCS_DAYSTATE, pt, this, IDC_MONTHCALCTRL1));

   // Providing a rectangle lets us completely control the size.
   // The control will paint as many complete month pages in the 
   // control's area as possible.

   CRect rect(300, 100, 470, 200);
   VERIFY(m_calCtrl2.Create(WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | 
      WS_BORDER | MCS_MULTISELECT, rect, this, IDC_MONTHCALCTRL2));

   // First, we must find the visible range. The array we pass to the
   // SetDayState() function must be large enough to hold days for all
   // of the visible months. Even if a month is _partially_ visible,
   // we must have MONTHDAYSTATE data for it in the array we pass.
   // GetMonthRange() returns the range of days currently visible in
   // the control, along with a count of visible months. This array
   // will be up to 2 months larger than the number of "pages" visible
   // in the control.

   SYSTEMTIME timeFrom;
   SYSTEMTIME timeUntil;
   int nCount = m_calCtrl1.GetMonthRange(&timeFrom, &timeUntil, GMR_DAYSTATE);

   // Allocate the state array based on the return value.

   LPMONTHDAYSTATE pDayState;
   pDayState = new MONTHDAYSTATE[nCount];
   memset(pDayState, 0, sizeof(MONTHDAYSTATE) * nCount);

   // Find the first fully visible month.

   int nIndex = (timeFrom.wDay == 1) ? 0 : 1;

   // Set the 4th day, 19th day, and 26th day of the first
   // _fully_ visible month as bold.

   pDayState[nIndex] |= 1 << 3;   // 4th day
   pDayState[nIndex] |= 1 << 18;   // 19th day
   pDayState[nIndex] |= 1 << 25;   // 25th day

   // Set state and clean up

   VERIFY(m_calCtrl1.SetDayState(nCount, pDayState));
   delete [] pDayState;
}
