Help disallowing weekends being selection on calendar


Go to solution Solved by BrewManNH,

Hello,

I would like some assistance on how to exclude certain days from being selected from a GUI Calendar.

I found the following script by Kylomas which does almost exactly what I would like to accomplish...

#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <DateTimeConstants.au3>
#include <StructureConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n

local $gui010   =   guicreate('Date Time Example',300,300)
local $DTctl    =   GUICtrlCreateDate('',20,20,200,20)
local $status   =   guictrlcreatelabel('',20,280,260,20,$SS_SUNKEN)
                    GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0xaa0000)
                    guisetstate()

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY,'WM_NOTIFY')

while 1
    switch guigetmsg()
        case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        case $DTctl
            ConsoleWrite('date selected = ' & guictrlread($DTctl)  & @LF)
    EndSwitch
wend

func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode, $tNMDATETIMECHANGE

    $tNMDATETIMECHANGE  = dllstructcreate($tagNMDATETIMECHANGE, $ilParam)
    $hWndFrom           = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "hWndFrom"))
    $iIDFrom            = DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "IDFrom")
    $iCode              = DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "Code")
    local $DTM_SETFORMAT_ = 0x1032 ; $DTM_SETFORMATW

    switch $hWndFrom
        case guictrlgethandle($DTctl)
            switch $iCode
                case $DTN_DATETIMECHANGE
                    if dllstructgetdata($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW') = 0 then
                        guictrlsetdata($status,'  Invalid Selection - Re-pick Date')
                        GUICtrlSendMsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, '  SUNDAY_INVALID - REPICK')
                    endif
                case $DTN_DROPDOWN
                    guictrlsetdata($status,'')
                    guictrlsendmsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy")
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch

    return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG

endfunc

...but I want to exclude all weekend days (Saturday & Sunday) instead of just Sunday.  I am able to change the "DOW" that is selected by changing the value, but if I add an additional Case statement, the script does not function as I would expect.

What am I missing??

                    endif
                case $DTN_DROPDOWN
                    guictrlsetdata($status,'')
                    guictrlsendmsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy")
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
    return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG

endfunc

Try this line

If DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW') = 0 Or  DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW') = 6 Then

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I noticed BrewManNH fix does not differentiate invalid days - Saturday or Sunday.

In your "What am  I missing??" example in 1st post, you have two "$DTN_DATETIMECHANGE" Cases.  The second "$DTN_DATETIMECHANGE" Case will never be accessed.

The easiest fix is to add ContinueCase to the end of the first "$DTN_DATETIMECHANGE" Case:-

#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <DateTimeConstants.au3>
#include <StructureConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n

Local $gui010 = GUICreate('Select Date', 300, 300)
Local $DTctl = GUICtrlCreateDate('', 20, 20, 200, 20)
Local $status = GUICtrlCreateLabel('', 20, 280, 260, 20, $SS_SUNKEN)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xaa0000)
GUISetState()

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, 'WM_NOTIFY')

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $DTctl
            ConsoleWrite('date selected = ' & GUICtrlRead($DTctl) & @LF)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode, $tNMDATETIMECHANGE

    $tNMDATETIMECHANGE = DllStructCreate($tagNMDATETIMECHANGE, $ilParam)
    $hWndFrom = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "hWndFrom"))
    $iIDFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "IDFrom")
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "Code")
    Local $DTM_SETFORMAT_ = 0x1032 ; $DTM_SETFORMATW

    Switch $hWndFrom
        Case GUICtrlGetHandle($DTctl)
            ;MsgBox(0,"", dllstructgetdata($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW'))
            ;MsgBox(0,"", $iCode)
            Switch $iCode
                Case $DTN_DATETIMECHANGE
                    If DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW') = 0 Then
                        GUICtrlSetData($status, '  Invalid Selection - Re-pick Date')
                        GUICtrlSendMsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, '  SUNDAY_INVALID - REPICK')
                    EndIf
                    ContinueCase
                Case $DTN_DATETIMECHANGE
                    If DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW') = 6 Then
                        GUICtrlSetData($status, '  Invalid Selection - Re-pick Date')
                        GUICtrlSendMsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, '  SATURDAY_INVALID - REPICK')
                    EndIf
                Case $DTN_DROPDOWN
                    GUICtrlSetData($status, '')
                    GUICtrlSendMsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy")
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG

EndFunc   ;==>WM_NOTIFY

Alternatively, the two "$DTN_DATETIMECHANGE" Cases can be combined into one "$DTN_DATETIMECHANGE" Case:-

#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <DateTimeConstants.au3>
#include <StructureConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n

Local $gui010 = GUICreate('Select Date', 300, 300)
Local $DTctl = GUICtrlCreateDate('', 20, 20, 200, 20)
Local $status = GUICtrlCreateLabel('', 20, 280, 260, 20, $SS_SUNKEN)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xaa0000)
GUISetState()

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, 'WM_NOTIFY')

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $DTctl
            ConsoleWrite('date selected = ' & GUICtrlRead($DTctl) & @LF)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode, $tNMDATETIMECHANGE

    $tNMDATETIMECHANGE = DllStructCreate($tagNMDATETIMECHANGE, $ilParam)
    $hWndFrom = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "hWndFrom"))
    $iIDFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "IDFrom")
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, "Code")
    Local $DTM_SETFORMAT_ = 0x1032 ; $DTM_SETFORMATW

    Switch $hWndFrom
        Case GUICtrlGetHandle($DTctl)
            ;MsgBox(0,"", dllstructgetdata($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW'))
            ;MsgBox(0,"", $iCode)
            Switch $iCode                
                Case $DTN_DATETIMECHANGE
                    If DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW') = 0 Then
                        GUICtrlSetData($status, '  Invalid Selection - Re-pick Date')
                        GUICtrlSendMsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, '  SUNDAY_INVALID - REPICK')
                    ElseIf DllStructGetData($tNMDATETIMECHANGE, 'DOW') = 6 Then
                        GUICtrlSetData($status, '  Invalid Selection - Re-pick Date')
                        GUICtrlSendMsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, '  SATURDAY_INVALID - REPICK')
                    EndIf
                    #ce
                Case $DTN_DROPDOWN
                    GUICtrlSetData($status, '')
                    GUICtrlSendMsg($DTctl, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, 0, "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy")
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG

EndFunc   ;==>WM_NOTIFY

If you use ContinueCase, you should probably just use it to abort processing the first selection instead of using it to just drop down into the next Case block. Otherwise it serves no purpose doing it that way, and a single If/Elseif/Endif block would be a much better choice.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.
