Custom Icons and Properties in Powerbuilder

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All,
I am new to the CodeJock Calendar ActiveX control, but already think it will be a powerful and useful addition to my application.  I am using Sybase Powerbuilder so it is taking me a bit of time to decipher some of the other threads and the help for things I need to do. The Powerbuilder sample was a great starting point.

Currently I have my calendar displaying events in month view.

I have two initial issues:

How can I add and display custom icons for different events? For example my calendar is displaying any interaction a staff member has with a client. If there is a phone call, I want to display an event with a custom telephone icon. Is this possible?
I also need the correct Powerbuilder syntax for adding Custom Properties to the event. I have tried:

iOleEvent.CustomProperties.Property.ID = udw_dashboard_snapshot.GetItemNumber(counter,'c_key')

and

iOleEvent.CustomProperties.Property("ID") = udw_dashboard_snapshot.GetItemNumber(counter,'c_key')

Neither syntax works. The first syntax compiles but falls over at runtime, the second reports an error in the compiler.
I hope someone can help.

Thanks

mickh

	Hi All I have managed to work out a solution for Question 2 above, but calling on all Powerbuilder Developers for help with the 1st Question. Thanks Michael

	Hi Michael, How were you able to solve your question 2? I'm planning to add custom properties in my calendar as well. Regarding your 1st question, I'm still finding ways to have it implemented. I'm studying the CalendarEvent.CustomIcons property and the ImageManagerIcon object. I'll inform you once I have a solution. Thanks

	Hi Dindo I eventually got it to work be referencing the Custom Properties as an array. Naming the properties caused an error. iOleEvent.CustomProperties.Property[1]=udw_dashboard_snapshot.GetItemNumber(counter,'c_key') iOleEvent.CustomProperties.Property[2]=udw_dashboard_snapshot.GetItemString(counter,'c_comm_type') ... I hope you have some luck with the customicons. They will be a real help for me. Michael
