1. Make the following changes to the settings in the Properties dialog.  To open the Properties dialog, click on the Project menu, then click on the CalendarControlDemo Properties...  menu item.
   
   Configuration Properties->C\C++->General->Additional Include Directories:  Add "..\CalendarControl\Source"
   
   Configuration Properties->C\C++->General->Language->Treat wchar_t as Built: Change to No
   
   Configuration Properties->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories: Add "..\CalendarControl\lib" and "..\CalendarControl\Source"
   
   Configuration Properties->Linker->General->Input->Ignore Specific Library: Add "libcd.lib"
   
   Configuration Properties->Resources->Genaral->Additional Include Directories: Add "..\CalendarControl\Source\Calendar\CalendarControl\res" and "..\CalendarControl\Source"
   
   

2. Add the include file #include <XTCalendarPro.h> for the Calendar Control to the stdafx.h file.  Also, add the #pragma warning(disable:4786) to disable warning message stating that symbols are longer than 255 characters.

   ...
   
   // turns off MFC's hiding of some common and often safely ignored warning messages
   #define _AFX_ALL_WARNINGS
   
   // Disable warning stating that symbols contain more than 255 characters.
   #pragma warning(disable:4786)
   
   #include <afxwin.h>  // MFC core and standard components
   #include <afxext.h>  // MFC extensions
   #include <afxdisp.h> // MFC Automation classes
   
   #include <afxdtctl.h> // MFC support for Internet Explorer 4 Common Controls
   #ifndef _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT
   #include <afxcmn.h>   // MFC support for Windows Common Controls
   #endif // _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT
   
   #include <XTCalendarPro.h> // Calendar Control components
   

3. Add the following line to the CalendarControlDemo.rc2 file in the \res folder.  Make sure that the correct path is included so that the resource compiler can find the resources needed to build the calendar control.

   //
   // CalendarControlDemo.RC2 - resources Microsoft Visual C++ does not edit directly
   //
   
   #ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED
   #error this file is not editable by Microsoft Visual C++
   #endif //APSTUDIO_INVOKED
   
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////
   // Add manually edited resources here...
   
   #include "..\CalendarControl\Source\XTCalendarPro.rc"

Hi,

first of all, thanks for your reply. But I am a bit confused here. I don't want to include the toolkit in the demo calendar application but I have an application which already has the xtreme toolkit included and up and running and now I want to include the calendar control in that application.

This is what I've tried so far:

• I've copied last XTPDrawHelpers.cpp/ XTPDrawHelpers.h from Calendar Package to ToolkitPro (according to mail from Coleen Stowell)
• I then rebuilt the library, rebuilt my app, but no luck
• I then installed the XTP beta version, rebuilt my app, but still no luck
• I then uninstalled everything CodeJock related and rebooted my system. I then installed the XTP beta kit first, and then the calendar component.
• Then I rebuilt my whole project once again (is getting pretty tiresome) and still no luck.

I included this line:

#include <XTCalendarPro.h>

after I included this line:

#include <XTToolkitPro.h>

I also tried some of the stuff from your post (but not all since not everything applies to my application being it not the sample application).

Nothing seems to work, I am really at a loss here. Why is it not possible to simply use both kits simultaneously? And why is the calendar component not standard included in the beta toolkit? Then I wouldn't be having this problem in the first place.

I really hope that someone can help me out here.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Martin

One more addition to my previous post.

The errors do not occur the moment I include the calendar component in my stdafx.h file, but when I define a variable in my class for the component as follows:

CXTPCalendarControl m_wndCalendar;

The moment I include this line the linker errors occur.

Cheers,
Martin

Try to link both statically.

add

#define _XTP_STATICLINK before #include <XTToolkitPro.h>

Oleg, thanks for your reply but I already sent you an e-mail explaining that that didn't work as well. In case you didn't get it, here's the mail:

And another addition, I just tried to make a new MFC dialog based app, and included the calendar control in the stdafx.h file (nothing more nothing less).

Now when I compile and run it there's no problem, but when I declare a variable for the calendar component it also crashes.

Am I perhaps overlooking something?

you need to add resource of calendar and toolkitpro.

add

#include "XTToolkitPro.rc" and

#include "XTCalendarPro.rc"

to your rc2 file.

I got it to work!!!!

Thanks a lot, now I only need to do some resizing and repositioning in my dialog but at least the calendar component shows up AND in combination with the Xtreme Toolkit!

Thanks again for all your help guys!

if (!m_wndCalendar.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_TABSTOP|WS_BOR DER, rc, this, 333))
return -1;

I need to declare the rectangle as CRect(0, 0, 0, 0) instead of my above approach.

Can anybody shed some light on this issue?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Serge,

yes I already did that as a workaround but I think the above implementation is nicer. Besides I don't understand why the error occurs. It doesn't make sense to me.

But for now it works...

Cheers,
Martin
