More question

Is there a way to make window shows on desktop always on bottom
and never be minimized even when we click show desktop icon?

Try something like:

1) Use evt_motion to track where the mouse is within the CalendarCtrl
2) CalendarCtrl#hit_test to work out what date is being covered
3) then Window#tooltip= / set_tooltip to set the appropriate text to
show on hover.

I haven't done this for CalendarCtrl but it works well with 
StyledTextCtrl.

Not in core wxWidgets 2.8 - I've seen it discussed. Those kind of
notifications aren't part of the core UI in OS X (and maybe GNOME) -
applications that have them rely on add-on frameworks eg Growl. You
might use another package eg:

Well, I found notify
http://rubygems.org/gems/notify
It does what I need about notification, at least on Ubuntu
(the author said it is cross platform, but I have not tried it)

Also about hit_test, I don't know how to use it

*hit_test*(Point <file:///home/hendra/ruby/wxruby-doc/html/point.html> 
pos,
                                 DateTime
<file:///home/hendra/ruby/wxruby-doc/html/datetime.html> date = nil,

                                 DateTime::WeekDay wd = nil)


I assume point is get from
Point.new(event.get_x, event.get_y)
But what about date?
I put Time.now there and it gives me error?
How should I use this?

This method should have a mapping so that it accepts a single Point
argument and returns a DateTime object. This is how similar methods work
in other classes, but I'm afraid I think the mapping has been missed for
this class & method. Could you report it as a bug please and I'll fix
for next release.

thanks
