Calendar Commands


WinDates stores your events in WinDates calendar files on your computer hard drive. WinDates calendar files have a .wdt extension and the default calendar file is events.wdt. WinDates allows you to open and view multiple calendars concurrently using the "Calendar | Open" and "Calendar | Subscribe" menu items.  For more details on managing calendars, see the Calendar Manager topic.

Opening Calendars from Windows

Calendar files may also be opened by double-clicking the calendar file's name in Windows Explorer. Also, WinDates will accept a file name as a command line parameter so you can open a calendar file by typing 'windates events.wdt' in a command window. Neither of these methods change the default calendar so that the next time you run WinDates without specifying a filename, the default calendars will be opened.

Running Multiple Instances of WinDates

WinDates has the capability to search for other copies of WinDates that are currently running. If another copy is found, it will activate that copy instead of running a second copy. This function can be changed in Startup Options so that multiple copies of WinDates will run concurrently.
