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

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.

Stefan

I am interested in a demo

Thanks

Richard

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.

Tim

I will pleased to test it in windows 98 SE, my email is jmurugosa@gmail.com

Hi all,

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

Ok, done !

Richard,

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

Stefan,

i will get it through this email also.

My mail is richard@cbati.com

Thanks for your interest

Richard

Please include me as well in the demo ..

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,

Stefan

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.
