Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxTimeSpan::wxTimeSpan ( )

Default constructor, constructs a zero timespan.

wxTimeSpan::wxTimeSpan ( long  hours,
long  min = 0,
wxLongLong  sec = 0,
wxLongLong  msec = 0 
)

Constructs timespan from separate values for each component, with the date set to 0.

Hours are not restricted to 0-24 range, neither are minutes, seconds or milliseconds.

Member Function Documentation

wxTimeSpan wxTimeSpan::Abs ( ) const

Returns the absolute value of the timespan: does not modify the object.

wxTimeSpan wxTimeSpan::Add ( const wxTimeSpan diff) const

Returns the sum of two time spans.

Returns
A new wxDateSpan object with the result.
wxTimeSpan& wxTimeSpan::Add ( const wxTimeSpan diff)

Adds the given wxTimeSpan to this wxTimeSpan and returns a reference to itself.

static wxTimeSpan wxTimeSpan::Day ( )
static

Returns the timespan for one day.

static wxTimeSpan wxTimeSpan::Days ( long  days)
static

Returns the timespan for the given number of days.

wxString wxTimeSpan::Format ( const wxString format = wxDefaultTimeSpanFormat) const

Returns the string containing the formatted representation of the time span.

The following format specifiers are allowed after %:

  • H - Number of Hours
  • M - Number of Minutes
  • S - Number of Seconds
  • l - Number of Milliseconds
  • D - Number of Days
  • E - Number of Weeks
  • % - The percent character

Note that, for example, the number of hours in the description above is not well defined: it can be either the total number of hours (for example, for a time span of 50 hours this would be 50) or just the hour part of the time span, which would be 2 in this case as 50 hours is equal to 2 days and 2 hours.

wxTimeSpan resolves this ambiguity in the following way: if there had been, indeed, the D format specified preceding the H, then it is interpreted as 2. Otherwise, it is 50.

The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a specifier of larger unit, only the rest part is taken, otherwise the full value is used.

int wxTimeSpan::GetDays ( ) const

Returns the difference in number of days.

int wxTimeSpan::GetHours ( ) const

Returns the difference in number of hours.

wxLongLong wxTimeSpan::GetMilliseconds ( ) const

Returns the difference in number of milliseconds.

int wxTimeSpan::GetMinutes ( ) const

Returns the difference in number of minutes.

wxLongLong wxTimeSpan::GetSeconds ( ) const

Returns the difference in number of seconds.

wxLongLong wxTimeSpan::GetValue ( ) const

Returns the internal representation of timespan.

int wxTimeSpan::GetWeeks ( ) const

Returns the difference in number of weeks.

static wxTimeSpan wxTimeSpan::Hour ( )
static

static

Returns the timespan for the given number of hours.

bool wxTimeSpan::IsEqualTo ( const wxTimeSpan ts) const

Returns true if two timespans are equal.

bool wxTimeSpan::IsLongerThan ( const wxTimeSpan ts) const

Also, it will return false if the timespans are equal in absolute value.

Returns true if the timespan is negative.

bool wxTimeSpan::IsNull ( ) const

Returns true if the timespan is empty.

bool wxTimeSpan::IsPositive ( ) const

Returns true if the timespan is positive.

bool wxTimeSpan::IsShorterThan ( const wxTimeSpan ts) const

Compares two timespans: works with the absolute values, i.e. 1 hour is shorter than -2 hours.

Also, it will return false if the timespans are equal in absolute value.

static wxTimeSpan wxTimeSpan::Millisecond ( )
static

Returns the timespan for one millisecond.

static

Returns the timespan for one minute.

static wxTimeSpan wxTimeSpan::Minutes ( long  min)
static

Returns the timespan for the given number of minutes.

wxTimeSpan wxTimeSpan::Multiply ( int  n) const

Returns the product of this time span by n.

Returns
A new wxTimeSpan object with the result.
wxTimeSpan& wxTimeSpan::Multiply ( int  n)

Multiplies this time span by n.

Returns
A reference to this wxTimeSpan object modified in place.
wxTimeSpan& wxTimeSpan::Neg ( )
