I'm trying to learn to use the wxCalendarCtrl, to simply place a selected date in a text control. (using CodeBlocks & wxWidgets)

The wxCalendarCtrl Class Reference isn't enough help for me. Not finding any examples or tutorials. Even the CodeProject wxWidget article & examples fails to include the wxCalendarCtrl.

My partial code: //with No matching function call error

C++

void wxPanel4Frame::OnbtnBeginClick(wxCommandEvent& event)
    {
    txtBdate->SetValue(CalendarCtrl1->GetDate());
    }

btnBeginDate: Button
txtBdate: text control var

C++

#include <wx/calctrl.h>  // included

Any help appreciated.

no idea - never used it - but i;m guessing you're trying to get the string representation of the time?

from the docs, GetDate returns a wxDateTime, that exposes a method FormatTime, that returns a wxString, that has a member c_str() that gives you a string

so you want something like

<br />
void wxPanel4Frame::OnbtnBeginClick(wxCommandEvent& event)<br />
{<br />
    txtBdate->SetValue(CalendarCtrl1->GetDate().FormatTime(...).c_str());<br />
}<br />

Looking for a date like: 03/18/2015.
So I'll try something like:

void wxPanel4Frame::OnbtnBeginClick(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
txtBdate->SetValue(CalendarCtrl1->GetDate().FormatDate("mm/dd/yyyy").c_str());
// But txtBdate can't be in the above line then
}

i either don't understand the comment about txtBdate or i've completely misunderstood your initial problem :)

This retrieves the date selected from the wxCalendarCtrl.

C++

txtBdate->SetValue(CalendarCtrl1->GetDate().FormatDate());
