## Detailed Description

Display a calendar and/or allow the user to select a date.

This is a widget that displays a calendar, one month at a time.

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

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

The selected date can be retrieved from a GtkCalendar using get_date().

If performing many 'mark' operations, the calendar can be frozen to prevent flicker, using freeze(), and 'thawed' again using thaw().

The Calendar widget looks like this:

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef sigc::slot<Glib::ustring, guint, guint, guint> Gtk::Calendar::SlotDetails

Detail markup handler.

For instance,

     Glib::ustring on_calendar_details(guint year, guint month, guint day);

Parameters:

  year | The year for which details are needed.
  month | The month for which details are needed.
  day | The day of for which details are needed.

Returns:
  Pango markup with details for the specified day, or an empty string.

This callback function provides Pango markup with detail information for the specified day. Examples for such details are holidays or appointments. The function should return an empty string when no information is available.
