What cup size ?

Calendar Classes - no year view? Or is that doable?

4

No year view but you can choose how many weeks you want to see. Not really feasible to see all 52 weeks in the current implementation. Sorry.

If you have to ask, you’re asking the wrong question. :slight_smile:

6

You’re right Bob.

How creative can I be in designing calendars? Will I be able to make calendars that show say two weeks on one row (14 day cells)?

What about giving individual weeks custom background colours?

Or say one row of 52 weeks (where each cell would be one week with the custom background colour above? It could maybe be a row of Mondays…can the source code be tweeked to do that?

Events - I read that they can have more properties added - including icons? What else? A popup menu?

Also - how are events stored? Database or XML? If not a database, can they be pulled from one when needed?

8

No, but you can show those two weeks in two rows of 7 days each.

You have the source so you can modify as you need it. Off the top of my head there is no custom event or property for that.

That might be a stretch. If you have a specific requirement for a year view we can talk about adding it.

You can add whatever you want as long as you can program it. You have the full source.

Since everyone has different needs we simply have a generic method to add events. Up to you to convert from your format to what the calendar uses.

Hope that helps.

Just as a reminder, this offer ends the end of day, July 6th!

Folks, I cannot say enough good things about Bkeeney Shorts Professional. Last year, It turned a nightmare VB6 Report project I was dreading (and putting off for months) into manageable Xojo code that I was able to duplicate several Database Reports in just a couple of days and that included putting a custom front-end on the whole thing for User options. For me, it’s a toss up with MBS as the best money I have ever spent on Xojo add-ons.

There is a video guide on the website that shows how to use the package too. I watched it the other day. Very impressive indeed and highly recommended. It told me everything I needed to know about the package, which is now on my list when funds permit.

Precisely what time does this end? Can Europeans purchase at 6am local time on the 7th?

13

It ends midnight July 6th. UTC -5. If you have any issues with the timing let me know.

Extremely pleased to see that much of the above is quite possible!

Still have some tweaks to go on the grid lines and days of the week texts, but the doors are open )

I believe this opens the way to a year view as well, but push comes to shove, I can arrage 12 canvases and that will work.

Pleased I am, quite!
