## Detailed Description

Calendar allows selection of dates from a grid of days, similar to QCalendarWidget.

The dates on the calendar can be selected with the mouse, or navigated with the keyboard.

The selected date can be set through selectedDate. A minimum and maximum date can be set through minimumDate and maximumDate. The earliest minimum date that can be set is 1 January, 1 AD. The latest maximum date that can be set is 25 October, 275759 AD.

      Calendar {
          minimumDate: new Date(2017, 0, 1)
          maximumDate: new Date(2018, 0, 1)
      }

The selected date is displayed using the format in the application's default locale.

Week numbers can be displayed by setting the weekNumbersVisible property to `true`.

      Calendar {
          weekNumbersVisible: true
      }

You can create a custom appearance for Calendar by assigning a CalendarStyle.

## Property Documentation

dayOfWeekFormat : int

The format in which the days of the week (in the header) are displayed.

`Locale.ShortFormat` is the default and recommended format, as `Locale.NarrowFormat` may not be fully supported by each locale (see Locale String Format Types) and `Locale.LongFormat` may not fit within the header cells.

frameVisible : bool

This property determines the visibility of the frame surrounding the calendar.

The default value is `true`.

maximumDate : date

The latest date that this calendar will accept.

By default, this property is set to the latest maximum date (25 October, 275759 AD).

minimumDate : date

The earliest date that this calendar will accept.

By default, this property is set to the earliest minimum date (1 January, 1 AD).

navigationBarVisible : bool

This property determines the visibility of the navigation bar.

The default value is `true`.

This QML property was introduced in QtQuick.Controls 1.3.

selectedDate : date

The date that has been selected by the user.

This property is subject to the following validation:

- If selectedDate is outside the range of minimumDate and maximumDate, it will be clamped to be within that range.
- selectedDate will not be changed if `undefined` or some other invalid value is assigned.
- If there are hours, minutes, seconds or milliseconds set, they will be removed.

The default value is the current date, which is equivalent to:

      new Date()

style : Component

The style Component for this control.

See also Qt Quick Controls Styles QML Types.

visibleMonth : int

This property determines which month in visibleYear is shown on the calendar.

The month is from `0` to `11` to be consistent with the JavaScript Date object.

See also visibleYear.

visibleYear : int

This property determines which year is shown on the calendar.

See also visibleMonth.

weekNumbersVisible : bool

This property determines the visibility of week numbers.

The default value is `false`.
