Pickdate part 2 – a control class in development

[Antonio Linares]

Flickering solved

Simply add this style here:

::nStyle = nOr( WS_CHILD, WS_VISIBLE, WS_TABSTOP, WS_BORDER, WS_CLIPCHILDREN )

[Kleyber]

Nagesh,

GradientFill( hDC, 0, 0, ::nHeight, ::nWidth, { { 1, nRGB( 128, 217, 255 ), nRGB( 54, 147, 255 ) } } )

is functionally equivalent to

Gradient( hDC, { 0, 0, ::nHeight, ::nWidth }, nRGB( 128, 217, 255 ), nRGB( 54, 147, 255 ), .t. )

You may use simple Gradient function if you are using an older version of FWH

Thanks! It worked.

Regards,

[Otto]

Hello Antonio,
thank you for yur help with the buttons.

METHOD PreviousMonth() and NextMonth() are ready. So you can select a period which is in 2 years, like 1.12.2008 – 31.1.2009.

Regards,
Otto

[Antonio Linares]

The reason to create the buttons from the method Initiate() is because from method Redefine() we still don't have a valid windows handle for pickdate, so we can't create childs controls on top of it.

The method Initiate() is the first method that is processed for redefined controls to get a windows valid handle, so once Super:Initiate( hDlg ) is called, then the <control>:hWnd is valid.

Hello Antonio,
Thank you.
But now I have again the problem with the flickering if it is redefine.

Have you had a look into previous/next month. Do you think this is ok or do you have a better solution.

Regards,
Otto

[Antonio Linares]

Otto,

You have to give the style WS_CLIPCHILDREN to the control TPickDate itself, not to the dialogbox:

CONTROL "", 10, "TPickDate", 0 | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_CLIPCHILDREN, 12, 64, 496, 247

[Otto]

Antonio, thank you.

[José Vicente Beltrán]

Hi Otto, thanks for the idea of the TPickDate

my little contribution over the class include a note book EXE and him PRG and RC, both respectively for use alone (the EXE) or built in your application code.

My code is old but valid how exercise.

Thank you José.

To use TPickdate to select and show dates and periods for a calendar is good adoption.
Thank you for sharing. I will study your code.
Regards,
Otto
