Topic: Setting Subject font properties

Subject: Setting Subject font properties

Is it possible to set a calendar event subject's font to strikethrough when it is displayed in the calendar?

I wanted to use a custom property of "Status" to be able to mark an event done and want to be able to easily tell events that are done by having their ~~subject displayed in strikethrough font.~~

Any help with code sample would be appreciated

use BeforeDrawThemeObject

e.g.

void CCalendarDemoView::OnBeforeDrawThemeObject(XTP_NOTIFY_CODE Event, WPARAM wParam , LPARAM lParam){

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

if (wParam == xtpCalendarBeforeDraw_DayViewEvent){

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

pTheme2007->GetDayViewPartX()->GetDayPartX()->GetGroupPartX()->GetSingleDayEventPartX()->m_fcsetNormal.fcsetSubject.fntFont.SetCustomValue(&s_fntStriked);

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

You can find in VB similar things

Thanks for the reply, I see how to set font underline in the "beforedrawthemeobject" event, however I have not been able to figure out how to get the event information in that procedure. I only want to use the strikethrough when a custom propery = a value.

How can you determine what event is being drawn in that procedure?

You have enough information control passed as BeforeDrawThemeObject params. e.g,

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

if (wParam == xtpCalendarBeforeDraw_DayViewEvent){

CXTPCalendarDayViewEvent* pViewEvent = (CXTPCalendarDayViewEvent*)lParam;

if (pViewEvent && pViewEvent->GetEvent()->GetSubject().Left(1) == _T("*")){.....}

else if (wParam == xtpCalendarBeforeDraw_MonthViewDay){

CXTPCalendarMonthViewDay* pDay = (CXTPCalendarMonthViewDay*)lParam;

if (pDay->GetDayDate().GetDayOfWeek() == 3){....}

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

I appreciate the help. The first post I was able to convert to VB the 2nd I'm lost on.

Maybe somebody that programs in VB can help.

you can cast lParam as Event in VB - similar to C++. Now you have access to Event info

I'm sure you can I just have not been able to figure out how to do it or how to translate your C code to VB.
