A Calendar Control/Component by FarPoint Technologies, Inc.

Calendar Objx V3.0

FarPoint's Calendar Objx 3, now including Daily PlanIt, gives you all the components your development team needs to display or select date and/or time values in any application. By including a calendar control, a clock control, a poster control, and a schedule control, Calendar Objx makes it easy to incorporate robust calendar or schedule features in your program's interface today.

Calendar New Features

• The Calendar Objx ActiveX controls support ActiveX Data Objects (OLE DB) data binding, as well as DAO and RDO data binding.
  
• Calendar Objx 3.0 ActiveX controls are apartment-threaded controls.


• Three new elements have been added to the fpCalendar control: recurring days, specific days, and header buttons.


• In the fpCalendar control, selected days do not inherit settings from the lower levels in the element hierarchy. In Calendar Objx 3.0, you can use the InheritOverride property to allow selected day elements to inherit settings from lower levels in the calendar element hierarchy.


• The fpCalendar control now provides five AutoStyles (Traditional, Modern, Active, Streamlined, and Flat) to help you create commonly used calendar looks. You can modify the AutoStyles as you please.


• The fpCalendar control has a new compact format that displays a day, month, year or a single date (day, month, year) on one line, allowing you to change the date easily using drop downs. If you display a single date, you can specify the order in which the day, month, and year appear on the line.


• The default date value for the fpCalendar control is now the current system date (as determined by the Windows Control Panel setting).


• You can now specify a mask color for element pictures in the fpCalendar control. Parts of the picture that contain pixels the same color as the mask color are transparent.


• You can now specify how and whether grid lines display. You can display only horizontal grid lines, only vertical grid lines, a full grid, or only header grid lines.


• The fpCalendar control provides two new properties that allow you to return an enumerated and string value for the element the pointer is over. For example, if the pointer is over a day in the calendar, the MouseOverValue property returns the day in the "YYYYMMDD" format and the MouseOverElement property returns a "4" indicating the pointer is over a specific day.


• You can now choose not to display buttons in the calendar month header, the year header, or both.


• The fpCalendar VBX and ActiveX controls now contain the standard Visual Basic MouseDown, MouseMove, and MouseUp events.


• The fpCalendar control provides new functions and methods to enumerate recurring and specific dates and to reset specified property settings at run time.


• The fpCalendar control now follows ISO standard 8601 for week numbering.


• Calendar Objx 3.0 now uses system colors as defaults for some color property settings.

Calendar General Features

• Choose from multiple calendar display formats (year, month, week, day, or range of days).


• Create your own custom calendar appearance or begin by choosing from one of five AutoStyles (Traditional, Modern, Active, Streamlined, and Flat) to help you create commonly used calendar looks.


• Customize the Calendar control to use international or user-defined month, week, and day names.


• Choose a format for displaying the name of the week (1-3 letters or the full name).


• Customize all calendar elements (days, weeks, selections, headers, etc.) with text and pictures.


• Align week numbers on the right or left side of the calendar.


• Rapidly scroll through years and months using definable speedscroll increments.


• Calculate the date using predefined functions (days 360, adjust date, return weekday from date, return week number from date, and more).


• Your user can zoom in and out in the calendar to change between calendar formats, for example, to zoom in from yearly to monthly format or to zoom out from daily to weekly format.
