#include <wx/datetime.h>

Detailed Description

This class is a "logical time span" and is useful for implementing program logic for such things as "add one month to the date" which, in general, doesn't mean to add 60*60*24*31 seconds to it, but to take the same date the next month (to understand that this is indeed different consider adding one month to Feb, 15 – we want to get Mar, 15, of course).

When adding a month to the date, all lesser components (days, hours, ...) won't be changed unless the resulting date would be invalid: for example, Jan 31 + 1 month will be Feb 28, not (non-existing) Feb 31.

Because of this feature, adding and subtracting back again the same wxDateSpan will not, in general, give back the original date: Feb 28 - 1 month will be Jan 28, not Jan 31!

wxDateSpan objects can be either positive or negative. They may be multiplied by scalars which multiply all deltas by the scalar: i.e. 2*(1 month and 1 day) is 2 months and 2 days. They can be added together with wxDateTime or wxTimeSpan, but the type of result is different for each case.

Warning: If you specify both weeks and days, the total number of days added will be 7*weeks + days! See also GetTotalDays().

Equality operators are defined for wxDateSpans. Two wxDateSpans are equal if and only if they both give the same target date when added to every source date. Thus wxDateSpan::Months(1) is not equal to wxDateSpan::Days(30), because they don't give the same date when added to Feb 1st. But wxDateSpan::Days(14) is equal to wxDateSpan::Weeks(2).

Finally, notice that for adding hours, minutes and so on you don't need this class at all: wxTimeSpan will do the job because there are no subtleties associated with those (we don't support leap seconds).
