wx.adv.GenericCalendarCtrl font

#1

I wrote a simple (but sufficient for my needs) journaling app that uses the wx.adv.GenericCalendarCtrl control. I would like to change the font style of the days so that the day number is shown in bold (or another colour) if there is a journal entry for that day. Is this possible?

#2

It’s derived from wx.Windows… so it should have a regular “SetFont” method… doesn’t work?

#3

What I’ve been able to glean (following multiple “see also” links) is

If I want to display certain days in red text I do

attr = wx.adv.CalendarDateAttr(colText = wx.RED)
self.calendar.SetAttr(daynum, attr)

This causes my app to exit with no error.

I believe SetFont is to set the font for the entire control, not individual days.

Yes, I misread your intentions… “exit with no error” is a bit too vague to investigate, but this code works fine for me anyway:

import wx, wx.adv

class Main(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *a, **k):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, *a, **k)
        p = wx.Panel(self)
        b = wx.Button(p, -1, 'update', pos=(10, 10))
        b.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.update_attr)
        self.cal = wx.adv.GenericCalendarCtrl(p, pos=(10, 50))
        self.cal.SetAttr(4, wx.adv.CalendarDateAttr(
                        colBorder=wx.RED,
                        border=wx.adv.CAL_BORDER_ROUND))
        self.cal.SetAttr(5, wx.adv.CalendarDateAttr(
                        colBack=wx.BLACK, 
                        colText=wx.WHITE))
        self.cal.SetAttr(6, wx.adv.CalendarDateAttr(
                        font=wx.Font(14, 
                                     wx.FONTFAMILY_ROMAN, 
                                     wx.FONTSTYLE_ITALIC, 
                                     wx.FONTWEIGHT_BOLD)))

    def update_attr(self, evt):
        self.cal.SetAttr(7, wx.adv.CalendarDateAttr(
                        colBorder=wx.BLACK,
                        border=wx.adv.CAL_BORDER_SQUARE))
        self.cal.ResetAttr(4)
        self.cal.Refresh()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.App()
    Main(None).Show()
    app.MainLoop()

That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
