Datepickerctrlgeneric

I’ll probably be accused of blowing my own trumpet here, but you could give my minidatepicker a whirl, with the caveat, that I don’t think it has been tested on Windows.
You can find the latest version using this link:

A wx.DatePickerCtrl with a customisable format

DatePickerCtrl is seemingly stuck with a MM/DD/YYYY format, great for our North American chums but which makes it virtually useless for the rest of us. Hopefully others will find this useful as you can decide the date format you wish to use and elect to use a calendar in your own language too. Let me know if there are errors and omissions. Apparently I’m still not permitted to upload a file, so I’ll have to paste it! """ MiniDatePicker.py A custom class that looks like the wx.DatePi…

Here I stole the code from @RichardT (sorry Richard) and replaced the date widget.
On Linux it behaves itself.

import wx
#import wx.adv
import minidatepicker as MDP

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
        kwds["style"] = kwds.get("style", 0) | wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
        self.SetSize((400, 200))
        self.SetTitle("MiniDatePicker")
        self.main_panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
        main_sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        format = (lambda dt: (f'{dt.Format("%A %d-%m-%Y")}'))
        #self.datepicker_ctrl = wx.adv.DatePickerCtrlGeneric(self.main_panel, wx.ID_ANY)
        self.datepicker_ctrl = MDP.MiniDatePicker(self.main_panel, -1, formatter=format)

        main_sizer.Add(self.datepicker_ctrl, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL | wx.TOP, 16)
        self.text_ctrl = wx.TextCtrl(self.main_panel, wx.ID_ANY, "")
        main_sizer.Add(self.text_ctrl, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL | wx.TOP, 16)
        bottom_sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
        main_sizer.Add(bottom_sizer, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL | wx.BOTTOM | wx.TOP, 16)
        self.button_1 = wx.Button(self.main_panel, wx.ID_ANY, "button_1")
        bottom_sizer.Add(self.button_1, 0, wx.RIGHT, 32)
        self.button_2 = wx.Button(self.main_panel, wx.ID_ANY, "button_2")
        bottom_sizer.Add(self.button_2, 0, 0, 0)
        self.main_panel.SetSizer(main_sizer)
        self.Layout()
        #self.Bind(wx.adv.EVT_DATE_CHANGED, self.OnDateChanged, self.datepicker_ctrl)
        self.Bind(MDP.EVT_DATE_CHANGED, self.OnDateChanged, self.datepicker_ctrl)

    def OnDateChanged(self, event):
        print(event.GetDate())


class MyApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        self.frame = MyFrame(None, wx.ID_ANY, "")
        self.SetTopWindow(self.frame)
        self.frame.Show()
        return True


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = MyApp(0)
    app.MainLoop()
