Calendar

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the windows calendar widget (or whatever it's called) in a MaxGUI window?

(for example, like the one under the Windows XP Task Scheduler, where you get a calendar lay-out of the current month, but can browse back and forth to other months to pick a specific date)

how about something like this:

Strict

Function CreateCalendar:TGadget(x,y,w,h,group:TGadget)
	Const MSCAL$="<object id='calendar1' classid='clsid:8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02' width=100% height=100%></object>"
	Local control:TGadget
	control=CreateHTMLView(x,y,w,h,group)
	PollSystem
	HtmlViewRun control,"document.body.innerHTML=~q"+MSCAL+"~q;"
	Return control
End Function

Function SetCalendarDate(control:TGadget,day,month,year)
	PollSystem
	HtmlViewRun control,"calendar1.Year="+year
	HtmlViewRun control,"calendar1.Month="+month
	HtmlViewRun control,"calendar1.Day="+day
End Function

Local window:TGadget
Local calendar:TGadget

window=CreateWindow("calendar test",20,20,400,400)

calendar=CreateCalendar(0,0,ClientWidth(window),ClientHeight(window),window)
SetGadgetLayout calendar,1,1,1,1 

SetCalendarDate(calendar,26,9,1967)

While True
	Select WaitEvent()
		Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
			End
	End Select
Wend

will have to do a bit more tinkering to get the user input back out of it...

Skid;
doesn't work for me..
it opens the window, and outlines an empty square.. then it gets that red "X" just like it isn't able to load an image..

I'm seeing the same as LarsG -- opens a window with a broken image symbol, nothing else...

I'm using Windows XP Pro, SP2, IE 6.

I found some other online HTML/script samples using the same CLSID at http://www.emu.edu.tr/english/facilitiesservices/computercenter/bookslib/Web%20Publishing%20Professional%20Reference%20Edition,%20William%20Stanek/ch33.htm
and have the same problem when opening it straight in IE -- broken image symbol.

And while I realize one might be able to get this working, I was hoping to have the actual windows GUI object itself, rather than an embedded HTML solution just for a more consistent look & feel.

Works here just fine!

I have the same config as xlsior.

And yes a Gui object itself would be really better and work with standard events.

That particular calendar is a pretty ugly control anyway.
