A GtkCalendar is a widget that displays a calendar as a grid, one month at a time, allowing the user to select a particular date.

The month and year currently displayed can be modified using select_month() . The exact day to be selected may be modified using select_day() .

You may place a visual mark on a particular day by using mark_day() . The marker may be removed using unmark_day() .

The visual style of the calendar may be modified comprehensively using set_display_options() . Of course, the whole purpose of creating the calendar itself is to retrieve the input from the user! You may use get_date() to retrieve the date selected by the user.
