NAME
calendar_example_06 - Calendar - Calendar marks.

On this example marks management will be explained. Functions elm_calendar_mark_add(), elm_calendar_mark_del() and elm_calendar_marks_clear() will be covered.

To add a mark, will be required to choose three things:
•   mark style
•   mark date, or start date if it will be repeated
•   mark periodicity
Style defines the kind of mark will be displayed over marked day, on calendar. Default theme supports holiday and checked. If more is required, is possible to set a new theme to calendar widget using elm_object_style_set(), and use the signal that will be used by such marks.
Date is a struct tm , as defined by time.h. More can be read on ctime manpage. If a date relative from current is required, this struct can be set as:
   current_time = time(NULL);
   localtime_r(&current_time, &selected_time);
 Or if it's an absolute date, you can just declare the struct like:
   struct tm sunday;
   struct tm christmas;
   /*
    * At least on Windows, tm has 9 fields.
    * As a workaround, set sunday to 0 and set
    * th needed fields to correct value
    */
   memset(&sunday, 0, sizeof(struct tm));
   sunday.tm_hour = 12;
   sunday.tm_mday = 7;
   sunday.tm_isdst = -1;
   memset(&christmas, 0, sizeof(struct tm));
   christmas.tm_mday = 25;
   christmas.tm_mon = 11;
 Periodicity is how frequently the mark will be displayed over the calendar. Can be a unique mark (that don't repeat), or it can repeat daily, weekly, monthly or annually. It's enumerated by Elm_Calendar_Mark_Repeat_Type.
So let's add some marks to our calendar. We will add christmas holiday, set Sundays as holidays, and check current day and day after that.
   struct tm sunday;
   struct tm christmas;
   /*
    * At least on Windows, tm has 9 fields.
    * As a workaround, set sunday to 0 and set
    * th needed fields to correct value
    */
   memset(&sunday, 0, sizeof(struct tm));
   sunday.tm_hour = 12;
   sunday.tm_mday = 7;
   sunday.tm_isdst = -1;
   memset(&christmas, 0, sizeof(struct tm));
   christmas.tm_mday = 25;
   christmas.tm_mon = 11;
   current_time = time(NULL);
   localtime_r(&current_time, &selected_time);
   mark = elm_calendar_mark_add(cal, "checked", &selected_time,
                                ELM_CALENDAR_UNIQUE);
   /* check tomorrow */
   current_time = time(NULL) + 1 * SECS_DAY;
   localtime_r(&current_time, &selected_time);
   elm_calendar_mark_add(cal, "checked", &selected_time, ELM_CALENDAR_UNIQUE);
   /* mark christmas as holiday */
   elm_calendar_mark_add(cal, "holiday", &christmas, ELM_CALENDAR_ANNUALLY);
   /* mark Sundays as holidays */
   elm_calendar_mark_add(cal, "holiday", &sunday, ELM_CALENDAR_WEEKLY);
 We kept the return of first mark add, because we don't really won't it to be checked, so let's remove it:
   elm_calendar_mark_del(mark);
 After all marks are added and removed, is required to draw them:
   elm_calendar_marks_draw(cal);
 Finally, to clear all marks, let's set a callback for our button:
   bt = elm_button_add(win);
   evas_object_size_hint_weight_set(bt, EVAS_HINT_EXPAND, EVAS_HINT_EXPAND);
   evas_object_size_hint_align_set(bt, EVAS_HINT_FILL, EVAS_HINT_FILL);
   elm_object_text_set(bt, "Clear marks");
   evas_object_smart_callback_add(bt, "clicked", _btn_clear_cb, cal);
   elm_box_pack_end(bx, bt);
   evas_object_show(bt);
 This callback will receive our calendar object, and should clear it:
static void
_btn_clear_cb(void *data, Evas_Object *btn EINA_UNUSED, void *ev EINA_UNUSED)
{
   Evas_Object *cal = data;
   elm_calendar_marks_clear(cal);
   elm_calendar_marks_draw(cal);
}
Note
    Remember to draw marks after clear the calendar.
Our example will look like this:
