How to Modify m_pRPattern.RemoveAllExceptions

Hi,

The solution would be similar to what I've described for you in IssueTrack could weeks earlier:

1. An easy solution.

To store previous recurrence events you have to divide existing series to 2 parts:
a) Old recurrence series - finished at a current date;
b) New recurrence series - started at current date.
So far there will be 2 operations:
a) modify the end date for existing MasterEvent->RecurrencePattern without calling RemoveAllExceptions;
b) create a copy of changed series (with Recurrence) starting from the current date;

2. Yet another solution.
Use an existing master event.
a. Get collection of all backward (historical) recurrence events (exception or occurrences).
b. Modify master event using new properties. (Commit it to data provider)
c. Get collection of all backward (historical) recurrence events for new series.
d. for each event from collection "c" add event from collection "a" as an exception.
  if "c" has more events than "a" rest events from "c" add as deleted exceptions.
  if "a" has more events than "c" rest events from "a" add as exceptions which are not related to any occurrence.
  (Commit it to data provider)

You see that the second way is complex. And if your 'historical' events collection will grows up to 100-200... events for each master event this may slow down performance.

I recommend you way 1, it is easier. But if you need to have only one master event for each series - use way 2.

As you can probably guess, I'm fairly new to VB6, but working my way through it.

I've been struggling with creating a copy of the changed series. Would you please give me a sample of code to get me started in the right direction? Do I use the CalendarControl.DataProvider.CreateEvent method?

The more I work through this Xtreme Calendar Control, the more impressed I am it. Thank you for all your help!

Thank you, Serge. I've been looking at forms that edit events and recurrence for bits of code. And your direction helps.
