Wrap

Text File | 1995-06-17 | 6.4 KB | 133 lines

AddSoft's Schedule VBX is a very comprehensive control. This is good and bad: Good because it lets you build comprehensive scheduling systems; Bad because there is a LOT you need to manage and a big learning curve. At this stage we have not provided a template wrapper for Schedule VBX. This may be provided in the future at a substantially greater license fee. Instead, I have 3 include files and a 4th file which can be used to easily add/change SchedVBX property settings. The files are as follows SCHEDVBX.CLW This is the function prototype file for inclusion in the MAP. You need to use this file if you wish to use the DLL FUNCTIONS of SCHEDULE.VBX Because CW does not recognize *.VBX as a DLL, you need to COPY SCHEDVBX.VBX to \cw\bin\SCHEDVBX.DLL and make sure that you do this every time SCHEDVBX is upgraded. The function calls all require the hWnd handle of the Schedule control you have created. If your control is called ?Control1, you can get the hWnd with the syntax Control1_hWnd = ?Control1{prop:handle} Example from SCHEDVBX.CLW !Search Routines SchedVBXWndFindFreeTimeBlock( USHORT, |!hWnd handle into SchedVBX instance SHORT, |!iResource number (Resource Array index) *STRING, |!szBeg date/time string *CSTRING |!szDur duration string ) SHORT, PASCAL, RAW SCHEDEQU.CLW This file has equates for every setting option of several dozen properties - in fact virtually every property for which such equates make sense. This allows you to use meaningful names for settings instead of numbers, making maintenance feasible. Example from SCHEDEQU.CLW !Timescale Equates SchedTimescale:Years EQUATE( 0 ) SchedTimescale:Quarters EQUATE( 1 ) SchedTimescale:Months EQUATE( 2 ) SchedTimescale:Weeks EQUATE( 3 ) SchedTimescale:Days EQUATE( 4 ) SchedTimescale:Hours EQUATE( 5 ) SchedTimescale:Minutes EQUATE( 6 ) COLORS.CLW This is a small equates file which adds additional named colors and the standard MicroSoft names for several colors. Example from COLORS.CLW COLOR:DarkYellow EQUATE (0008080H) !Microsoft name for Olive COLOR:Gold EQUATE (00080FFH) COLOR:LightOlive EQUATE (000FF80H) SCHEDREF.CLW This file will save you gobs of time. Copy the property statement you need, along with the appropriate equate name, delete the ! in front of the property statement and rename the control to your schedule control. Examples from SCHEDREF.CLW !?Control{'BarName',BarNumber} = '' !(default) !Name of the BarNumber-th Bar !?Control{'BarSize',BarNumber} = 50 !(default) !height of bar as a % of cell height !?Control{'BarOffset',BarNumber} = 0 !(default) !Offset of bar as a % of cell height - 75 places bar in bottom quarter of cell !?Control{'BarColor',BarNumber} = Color:Navy !(default) !?Control{'BarPattern',BarNumber} = SchedBarPattern:None !(default) !SchedBarPattern:None !SchedBarPattern:Horizontal !SchedBarPattern:Vertical !SchedBarPattern:UpwardsHatch !SchedBarPattern:DownwardsHatc !SchedBarPattern:CrossHatch !SchedBarPattern:45DegreeHatch =================================================================== If you wish to unlock these files email your VISA or MasterCard details to A-TEK Systems.
