Paul, I suppose the text of the button should be 'Get Date'

Well, I was going to go all the way and have time&date but I thought everyone could figure it out from here.

Hehe... what can I say?!

Thanks to all who posted the know-how for the Calendar.

I have added the calendar window to my little date reminder.

Bug reports and any help with language files appreciated
(currently only German and English available)

And I have a question:
Is there any way to change the calendar colors?

Yes, nearly everything can be done in some way...

Here we go:

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(hCal, #MCM_SETCOLOR, #MCSC_BACKGROUND, $000000)

This sets the backgroundcolor to black.
The $000000 can be relpaced with any RGB value you like (just like the HTML colors)

#MCSC_BACKGROUND can be replaced with the following constants:

#MCSC_BACKGROUND
Set the background color displayed between months.
#MCSC_MONTHBK
Set the background color displayed within the month.
#MCSC_TEXT
Set the color used to display text within a month.
#MCSC_TITLEBK
Set the background color displayed in the calendar's title.
#MCSC_TITLETEXT
Set the color used to display text within the calendar's title.
#MCSC_TRAILINGTEXT
Set the color used to display header day and trailing day text. Header and trailing days are the days from the previous and following months that appear on the current month calendar.

Code: Select all

;Constant definition:
#MCM_SETCOLOR = $100A  ; wrong value last time, sorry.
#MCSC_BACKGROUND = 0
#MCSC_TEXT = 1
#MCSC_TITLEBK = 2
#MCSC_TITLETEXT = 3
#MCSC_MONTHBK = 4
#MCSC_TRAILINGTEXT= 5

You can change this stuff anywhere after the CreateWindowEx_() command.

That's it...

freak,

I have tried everything, but there is absolutely no effect (Win98SE).
The SendMessage to preset the date works all right, though.

Any idea?

Sorry, that was my fault!
The Value I gave you for #MCM_SETCOLOR was wrong.

It should be $100A

I should have tested what i was writing, but i had no time... sorry.
