Hi,

I hope the personal problems in this community will get solved
soon - it's no solution to leave such a great and helpfull community.

I looked at many other communities here in germany - specially on
my industry (webhosting) - all communities I found are very agressive
and loud. Because of this I like every visit here in vdsworld. I am developing vds apps since some years and alway people from vdsworld helped me solving beginner-problems or getting ideas for bigger
projects.
I think most people on this board feel the same so I think there should be
a peacefull solution so we can all be happy again Wink

But here's my vds-related question.

I need to design a small calendar-application for my project,
but I have no good idea.
First of all I think using the calendar-element from vds is good,
but I cannot make a day bold if he has a date in it, like outlook does.
And how is a good, easy and good-designd way to build the dates
in a list ? I thought about doing this with vdslists.dll but to do so there
should be a function to change the background color - so that I could change it for each second row (grey and white) to make it more readable.

Does somebody have an idea how to make a good calendar ?

Thank you all again for your help.

Bye, Fabian

hi fabian,

what about using a button for each day so that you would have rows and columns of buttons...people would then click on the correct day/button to make an entry or edit an entry...

or perhaps even bitbuttons or something like that...

not too sure what you mean by building dates using lists...

Hi Serge,

i think building a all 31 days of a month with buttons is much of
code and does'nt looks good.
With datelist i mean the listing of all dates of one day like in outlook
(from 8 to 10, Breakfast Wink

.......
I could do this with lists but how does this look Sad

you don't have to write the code to add each of the 31 buttons by hand, you can use a loop to do that...i did that with my program A BETTER CHARACTER MAP which you can find at http://forum.vdsworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=1065&start=0

here's the relevant part of the code
