Looking: Planner or Resource Scheduler components

[BrianDHuff]

Hello all.

IN a bind with a production scheduler program I am working on.

I am needing a Calendar or Planner component/suite that will display a date range within a grid i.e.:

Sun Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 etc...

I need this to be data aware and allow drag and drop "items" or "planner items" across multiple dates.

I have tried all the major component houses I can find with no luck. The closest is TMS Software with their Planner suite. However, they don't have a "week view" that will "wrap the dates".. seems all of them have linear views only. I have almost gotten a solution to work by using their Period view and creating resources to represent the week 2 - week 7 type range. This worked well, however, the items wont "wrap" if they span a range of cells that would take them off the end of the grid... they just put up an arrow indicating there is more information.

It's a real simple need, but sure seems dificult to find.

Any suggestions or "points in the right direction" would be helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks Paul, in my original post I listed how the TPlanner from TMS wont do the job just as I need it. They don't have a Week or Period view that will "wrap" the dates onto a grid (i.e. 7 columns of 7 rows of cells). Their week and period view is Linear only, so 48 days would force the user to scroll left and right to see all the dates and that is not doable in this case


Going to look at the Turbopower tools you suggested TimSNL. From their website, I do not see a way to do what I need right off the bat. It looks like they offer standard PIM type tools, and it seems the standards wont do the trick. Their link is broken to grab the Trial so will wait until they fix it.

Brian,

Turbopower went out of bussiness last year, but they gave away their components to the opensource community. search for turbopower at sourceforge.net
