adddates read all appointments and load them on class to show box or special box.

I trying to read these classes and I saw we need only two important features:

an action when we click on cell of dayview and the possibilty to insert a dialog to create or modify a new appointment (record)

Insert the possiblity to show different type of Box ( colors, Bitmaps,Special day,...)

IF YOU Write here What we need for it ...

This would require that the calendar app be running 24/7. I think this would be better handled by some other constantly running app, like a web app. You could use something like the free http://www.lettermelater.com website. You can submit emails from your program that will get mailed later. I have never used it so I can't comment on it.

James

Are you having problems with this method, and if so what?

Note that the only events on the calendar are in Dec, 2010.

AddDates() would be better called addEvents(). I would also like to see an event class (I have started one already).

Note that if you are trying to compile the app using the test.rmk file, it must be updated with all the newer LIB names.

James

James,
I think it is a starting point but
we need some features before ..to use it to our applications

first.
I saw on day view if I click an area I cannot insert a record.
I cannot move the mouse and move the black rectangule it create when I click an area

Second
do you understand how insert a new record ?

third
we can change the visualization of box and special box with bitmaps
sample : we can use the class tevent to set an alarm but we can insert also a bitmap a bell into the cell day we selected.


I think we need these feature before...

but I am thinking we must work together to arrive a solution for the community.

Reinaldo and Daniel have made this gift to us, we must not waste this opportunity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Falconi,

Yes, I agree, the calendar needs all those features. And no, I don't know how to program any of them. I have never done anything similar before.

James
