Hi,

I am displaying a number of resources in my calendar. I am using the HitTest object to ascertain the Date/Time clicked, and while I can use the HitTest object to access information about all resources, I would like to be able to find out which resource I actually clicked on. Would anyone be able to help me with this please?

Thanks,

Rohan

Hi,

By resource do you mean the Calendar Event?

If so then the following code works for me:


    Dim cEvent As CalendarEvent
    Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = CalendarControl.ActiveView.HitTest

    If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
        Set cEvent = HitTest.ViewEvent.Event

        ' Print some of the info for the event, there is more available within cEvent
        Debug.Print cEvent.Subject
        Debug.Print cEvent.Location
        Debug.Print cEvent.Body
        Debug.Print cEvent.StartTime
        Debug.Print cEvent.EndTime
        Debug.Print cEvent.Importance

    End If

Thanks Xander. By resource I mean that each day in the calendar can have a number of resources within it - eg. Room 1, Room 2 -

When the user clicks in the calendar a custom form opens for creating a booking. I need to be able to pass the resource that was clicked to the custom booking form.

Thanks,

Rohan

Hi,

Ok I see what you mean, never used the ResourceManager before but using the VB Calendar sample I added several resources and with the following code I was able to determine which Resource was clicked on.


    Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = CalendarControl.ActiveView.HitTest
    
    If Not HitTest.ViewGroup Is Nothing Then
        Debug.Print "Resource: " & HitTest.ViewGroup.MultipleResources.Item(0).Name
    End If
