Topic: Calendar and Alerts

Hi All,


The attached sample project was done by Derek and EHW and posted here.
I wanted to add reminder alerts (text and sound) to calendar task using EHW's scripts but couldn't make it to work. Could anybody make them work?

Re: Calendar and Alerts

Adam,
Revised project attached. I changed you timer procedure a little. One thing was your date comparison needed to compare date format as 'YY-MM-DD'. You have the option to pick an alternate message so I put in a check for the alt text to be displayed if the checkbox is checked. Also, you need to be able to check for an alert notification for a task if the date/time has passed while the program is not running. So if a date and time has passed when you start the program you will get a notification immediately. And finally, you need a way to shut off the reminder otherwise you will get notified every second. So I put in an update to set the reminder datetime to null after notification.


I also put in a doubleclick procedure for the tasklist tablegrid in order to be able to edit from the tablegrid. This may be needed if you have overlapping tasks.

Adam,
I didn't look into that part of it. I only concentrated on the popup message part. I'll take a look at it. Probably tomorrow sometime.

Adam,
Sounds did not work because you didn't have any code to play any sounds. I created a sound folder and put a sound in there. Code was inserted to play a sound when the task reminder time arrives.

Could EHW or anyone else check and correct loop and repeating alerts in EHW's "CalendarWithReminders Revised2.zip - post #5 above" please. They don't seems to be not working for me.

Re: Calendar and Alerts

Is there a way to adapt "CalendarWithReminders Revised2" to the new styles? I have added it to my project but the main calendar background is white and you cant see the data in column 1. I would like it to be as dark as the task list, but still, show the colors when a task is set. Currently, I am using the style AuquaGraphite. I have attached a screenshot.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: Calendar and Alerts

Is there the possibility that 2 events are seen on the calendar grid at the same time? They can be identified by different colors.  Xq in the examples when 2 tasks are registered at the same time, one appears on top of the other.
