Hello,

What is the proper way to remember what state the control was in, so that it can be restored to the same view type when re-starting the app?

Currently, I get the view type (GetCalendarCtrl().GetActiveView()->GetViewType()) and store it in the registry and in OnInitialUpdate I get that value and change the view type, however, that only works for Month. If I had Day or Full Week selected and stored, it will reset to Week view for some reason.

Any advice appreciated...

Thanks.

DayView and WorkWeekView should be similar to MonthView. For WeekView and FullWeekView you need to store and retrive flag MultiColumn mode and use it before switch.

To switch to desired ViewType follow CalendarDemoView.cpp code:

void OnCalendarViewDay();

void OnCalendarViewWorkWeek();

void OnCalendarViewWeek();

void OnCalendarViewMonth();

Not quite there yet - once I started strong the MultiColumn mode, I've moved a bit forward, however, if I try to store Day or any Week that's not 5 days, it resets to a 5 day week (work week).

I'll investigate a bit more, but there're places in the code like the following that make me a bit confused:

void CXTPCalendarControl::SwitchActiveView(XTPCalendarViewType eViewType)
{
    if (eViewType == xtpCalendarFullWeekView)
        eViewType = xtpCalendarWeekView;

    m_eViewType = eViewType;

This is proper as FullWeekView IS WeekView and adjustments for MultiColumn mode - in next piece of same function code:

........................

else if (eViewType == xtpCalendarWeekView) {

if (m_bMultiColumnWeekMode) {.....
