I am trying to understand the CalendarWindow example (/Example Projects/Desktop/CustomControls)
This example has a CalendcarDateButton Set and a DayOfWeekLabel Set. Where can I find an explanation of how this was done, how it works, what kind of things I can do with this concept . . .
Norman - Thanks for telling me the name of that item.
However, for the life of me I still cannot figure out how to create one. “Control Sets” are listed on page 103. The user guide just says “To create a new Control Set, choose New Control Set from the popup menu.” What popup menu?
I tried searching for control set in the language reference without a hit.
The popup menu in the “Member Of” field in the Inspector. It’s page 106 of the pdf supplied with 2013r4.1 and there’s a picture of it on that page. What version are you using?
The way it is written is a bit unclear. I did not understand that I had to first select a normal control and then change the Member of property. I would be easier to follow with something like this:
Control Sets serve two purposes. One is to allow you to have a
collection of controls that share a single set of event handlers.
The other is to create controls dynamically while your application
is running.
In both cases, you create a control set by opening the Inspector of an existing control. Modify the “Member Of” property from “None” to “New Control Set”
< Figure 2.72 screen shot >
This creates a Control Set with the name of the
selected control.
