Desktop Calendar

[maqleod]

Desktop Calendar is a calendar that will allow you to open up a dialog for any day of the year and save notes for different times during that day.

I rewrote the program to update it to the new standards, cleaned up the code a lot, and upgraded it to use a database instead of sprawling ini files like mad like it used to. It is still very basic, but it is a lot more stable. I chose to use sqlite3.exe instead of the embedded functions for a few reasons, the main being I'm just more comfortable coding with it this way for now. If you feel like updating it to use the sqlite.au3/sqlite.dll.au3, please post it as an option for download, otherwise I may eventually get to it some day as I'm sure it will aid in the speed of the program.

I'm open to suggestions, criticism, bug reports...

Features:

browse calendar and add notes for any hour of any day of any year

view and edit notes

To Do:

add address book

make main window transparent, but controls visable

allow selection of an alarm or notification at chosen date and time, either an audio file or a pop up message box.

allow search for notes

allow import of other calendar information from other formats (ie, ical)

allow icons to depict type of note (new column or beginning of column entry, denoting school, work, entertainment, church, etc)

I've not tested it myself, but looking at it, it looks as if to be pretty nice. Basic yes like you said, but for something like this you don't want to go "over the edge" that would be going beside the point of this script.

Nice work

~TK

[jvanegmond]

Checking out that program was surprisingly inspiring.

[gseller]

Nice start, like you said basic but is a start to a great needed script. Good Luck..

[maqleod]

updated with new format for saving files, cleaned up code and adopted a more standard format, please let me know what you think.

[youknowwho4eva]

It kill's my firefox, first time it shrank it to the top left, then I maximized it and it just shook. I moved it to my second monitor and it would jump back. Second time I had firefox already on my second monitor. It was fine till I moved it to the first monitor again and it was shaking again. Other then that the size is a little off, at least on my computer. The month scroller for right is closer to the boarder then the left. and you legend at the bottom is cut off. Other than all that. It gives me some ideas.

It gives me some ideas.

well, I'm pretty sure its the docking function that would cause the shaking - just remove it for now if you want to test further, it did that on my system till I tweaked the function a bit so I thought I had fixed it. I'll have to test it on some of my other computers to see what might be causing it to do that (got one running, XP, one with Vista and one with win2k). What OS are you running?
