If you mean wxCAL_SHOW_SURROUNDING_WEEKS, I hard-coded it in the style
initialization for the Calendar component (see calendar.py) along with
wxCAL_SHOW_HOLIDAYS. The appropriate solution is to make them style
attribute for the component that can be set via the Property Editor in the
resourceEditor... The same goes for all the styles:

wxCAL_SUNDAY_FIRST  Show Sunday as the first day in the week
wxCAL_MONDAY_FIRST  Show Monday as the first day in the week
wxCAL_SHOW_HOLIDAYS  Highlight holidays in the calendar
wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE  Disable the year changing
wxCAL_NO_MONTH_CHANGE  Disable the month (and, implicitly, the year)
changing
wxCAL_SHOW_SURROUNDING_WEEKS  Show the neighbouring weeks in the previous
and next months
wxCAL_SEQUENTIAL_MONTH_SELECTION  Use alternative, more compact, style for
the month and year selection controls.

That requires several files to be changed so I don't want to do it tonight.
Since not all of the styles above are mutually exclusive, whether to have a
boolean style attribute for each or a style list or something else is a
design decision. We haven't really dealt with that for many of the other
components, so the solution we choose will probably impact other parts of
the framework such as the general background window style, which right now
is not settable.

I'll bring this up again on the list after I give it some thought. My
initial thought is to use simple booleans as much as possible
{'sundayFirst':0, 'showHolidays':1} and so on. Suggestions welcome.
