Calendar / Appointment

[TimStone]

I don't suppose anyone has written a Calendar / Appointment book using pure FW/xHB code, but perhaps someone has found a control set they can link in successfully. I would like to update an old scheduler program ( 32 bit modification of an original Grumpfish program ) to the newer look and feel of true Windows scheduling. There are Active X programs available, but I want to retain DBF capabilities for my data, and the ability to share the data file across several users.

Has anyone found suitable products for this purpose ? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I have looked at the CodeJock Active X component. First, a previous email thread on this object never showed that it would finally work. Secondly, I wrote to them about using it with a .DBF format and they indicated it was possible, but not designed to do that. Has anyone tried using this product with a .dbf format ( CodeJock Calendar Object ) ?
Thanks

Tim,
I remember that Paco García, from Canalfive, has a calendar with appointments, and a beta of a scheduler. Ask him for this products.

They have a date picker, but no full calendar with appointment scheduling, etc. The key is the display of the appointment book.

Tim,

I have written an event-manager/scheduler class. It´s still in beta state, because the documentation is not completed and it´s not fully tested under W98, W2k and Vista. It´s working fine under XP.

If you want test a demo, please drop me a note.

I am interested in a demo

Thanks

I can test under XP and Vista. I'd be happy to check it out and provide you with feedback.

I do have a working system, based on the DOS Grumpfish model, but today's windows applications have pretty well standardized on a look and feel.

My email is timstone@masterlinksoftware.com and I would appreciate an opportunity to test the class.

Hi all,

thanks for your interest, I will compile a demo and send it this afternoon

[StefanHaupt]

Ok, done !

Richard,

I sent the demo to contact@cbati.com, was that right ?

[Richard Chidiak]

Stefan,

i will get it through this email also.

My mail is richard@cbati.com

Stefan,

It may be good idea if you upload it to a public host like rapidshare or similar, in case that you want to share it, before lots of users start requesting it here Thanks,

[StefanHaupt]

Antonio,

yes, you are right, that a good idea.

Here everyone can download the demo:

Can you share the source code of the class ?

Tim, Are you using it ?

Thanks for response,

Richard

Richard,

No, I'm not using it. I commented back directly on some issues, but in fact, it doesn't work like the calendar/scheduling classes we see today. I'm doing some extensive cleanup work ( about 100,000 lines of code ), and when I finish that ( hopefully next week ), I'm going to look into this issue more extensively, and perhaps build a component that gets me closer to what I want.

I've looked at some existing controls but they don't address DBF files, and they are inherently single user. I want to build a scheduler for a shop that can be accessed from any computer, updated from any computer, and which displays like the current day/week/month schedulers ( ie. Outlook appearance ). I have one right now that is a modification of a DOS scheduler, and it works, but it doesn't have the visual type interface our clients will expect today. Its an enhancement of the old Grumpfish program, turned into a GUI.
