    @class wxDatePickerCtrl
    @wxheader{datectrl.h}

    This control allows the user to select a date. Unlike wxCalendarCtrl, which
    is a relatively big control, wxDatePickerCtrl is implemented as a small
    window showing the currently selected date. The control can be edited using
    the keyboard, and can also display a popup window for more user-friendly
    date selection, depending on the styles used and the platform, except
    PalmOS where date is selected using native dialog.

    It is only available if @c wxUSE_DATEPICKCTRL is set to 1.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxDP_SPIN}
           Creates a control without a month calendar drop down but with
           spin-control-like arrows to change individual date components. This
           style is not supported by the generic version.
    @style{wxDP_DROPDOWN}
           Creates a control with a month calendar drop-down part from which
           the user can select a date.
    @style{wxDP_DEFAULT}
           Creates a control with the style that is best supported for the
           current platform (currently wxDP_SPIN under Windows and
           wxDP_DROPDOWN elsewhere).
    @style{wxDP_ALLOWNONE}
           With this style, the control allows the user to not enter any valid
           date at all. Without it - the default - the control always has some
           valid date.
    @style{wxDP_SHOWCENTURY}
           Forces display of the century in the default date format. Without
           this style the century could be displayed, or not, depending on the
           default date representation in the system.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventTable{wxDateEvent}
    @event{EVT_DATE_CHANGED(id, func)}
           This event fires when the user changes the current selection in the
           control.
