Double click on calendar

[Montfrooij 0]

Hello,

I am using a small script to generate a gui with a calendar, using GUICtrlCreateMonthCal .

It is working fine, but I would like to add the option of a double click action on a given day that closes the gui and returns the selected date.

#include <DateTimeConstants.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
$guiCal = GUICreate("Kalender",201,201,-1,-1)
$Calendar = GUICtrlCreateMonthCal(@YDAY & "-" & @MON & "-" & @YEAR,1,1,200,200,$MCS_WEEKNUMBERS)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            $Output = GUICtrlRead($Calendar)
            $Output = StringRight($Output,2) & "-" & StringMid($Output,6,2) & "-" & StringLeft($Output,4)
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete($guiCal)
MsgBox(0,"Selected date", $Output)

So just double clicking on a date should return (in this case) a message box with the $Output variable.

In the 'real' script I will be using this as a function where it will have a Return $Output, but that should not matter for the solution.

Thanks in advance,

There isn't a double click notification for the calendar control,

so you have to make one using the mouse released notification NM_RELEASEDCAPTURE

and the selected calendar item changing notification MCN_SELCHANGE

EDIT: The code box did not post the first time, must be because I'm using IE in Vista...

EDIT 2: Forgot HitTest so double clicks on other areas of the calendar don't register

And another example.

Local $sDate = _GetDate()

    MsgBox(0, "Selected date", $sDate, 2)

    MsgBox(0, "Selected date", "Date not selection", 2)

    $Calendar = GUICtrlCreateMonthCal(@YDAY & "-" & @MON & "-" & @YEAR, 1, 1, 200, 200, 0x0004) ; $MCS_WEEKNUMBERS)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case -3 ; $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $Calendar
                ; Check for double click
                $begin = TimerInit()

                    If TimerDiff($begin) > 500 Then ExitLoop
                WEnd
                If $DblClk = 1 Then
                    $Output = GUICtrlRead($Calendar)

Thanks, that did the trick.

Edit: Both did the trick
