Calender

[AlastairOz]

I have no idea if or how I can do this:
I would like to have a calender in a form which shows
text and info in the calender for events booked on those
day/s.
Also have different colours for the days which have events.
That way the user can see instantly when there are free days
to book other events.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

You find a nice calender class here:

Otherwise: Outlook. Or Google Calendar. The latter could be shown in a Webbrowser control for example. Don't reinvent the wheel.

Bye, Olaf.

I would think it fairly easy to do this with native Visual Foxpro controls.

Create a container class to represent a day. The container would hold textboxes: one for the day number, one for the details of the event, and so on.

Then create a form to represent a month. Place the containers on the form, in seven columns - one for each day of the week.

At its simplest, the user could then click on a textbox, and edit the event text, for example.

Obviously, there would be more to it than the above simplified explanation, but you asked if it was possible to do it, and so the answer is Yes.

I have put together a very simple native example here:

Indeed. It's one of the first controls I created when VFP was still in alpha, created as a learning experience.

Haven't we all built at least one of these?

actually the simplest with almost no programming is doing:

_diarydate=date()
ACTIVATE WINDOW calendar

You have a calender and can enter text to each date. It lacks several of your requirements, but it's a freebie of Foxpro since way back then.

Bye, Olaf.
