Hi!

I developed new version of datetime ctrl. Please use it and report any bug. This version brings two importnat features: Scalability with system font size and calendar as a separate control:

index.php?t=getfile&id=201&private=0

Sources: http://dgs.pac.pl/dgs.php?page=downloads

Changelog:
- fixed crash introduced in 1.05
* DateTimePopUp class renamed to Calendar
+ calendar scales properly with used font's size
+ calendar can be now used as a separate control
+ highlighting if header date is pointed
* SetSize() method removed
* SetBorderSize() method removed
* Select All days is now default
* calendar use colors appropriate to selected gui theme
* other various fixes and improvements

PS: Mirek it seems that tips on popup windows stopped to work again..

Excellent work!

Might I nonetheless suggest to add an option which takes the "1st calendar week problem" into account?

There are three different ways to number the weeks of a year:

1.
The 1st week is the week containing January, 1.
This is the Microsoft Excel version.

2.
The 1st week is the 1st complete week of the year (rising the problem of the first day of the week: Sunday or Monday).

3.
The 1st week is the week containing at least four days of the new year.
This is ISO 8601.

Yes you're right. I just used method appropriate for europe (I think so, I'm not an expert in this topic...).
The only problem is to find proper algorithms for method:

WeekOfYear(int day, int month, int year)

if you know them please mail them to me.

I will also add ability to choose what day of week is first monday or sunday - in one of next versions..

I'll look around. In a rush I only found the following spreadsheet formula to calculate the week of a year from a date in cell A1 according to ISO 8601:

TRUNCATE((A1-DATE(YEAR(A1-REST(A1-2;7)+3);1;REST(A1-2;7)-9)) /7)

(I hope this is clear. I had to translate the formula from German to English. And I even didn't test it Rolling Eyes )

The following link is not exactly what I was looking for - it's C# ... Crying or Very Sad

Anyway I could imagine that it might prove quite useful Very Happy :

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/MonthCalendar.asp

As soon as I find something in C or C++ I'll let you know.

Thanks! Unfortunately this calendar calculates week number using ISO8601 method which is already implemented in datetimectrl...

PS: Do we really need another method of week calculation??

I strongly believe so!

Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week "Week number". You can read there that at least the US uses a system different from ISO 8601. I can't imagine that a library which doesn't consider US customs will be successful - be this desirable or not.

And even more compelling: http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/weekinfo.htm. I only now learned that there are UK and US tax weeks. While writing an application to calculate taxes may not be the everyday job of an ordinary programmer, this is definitely a typical computer task. Providing a flexible week-of-the-year feature would be a nice unique "selling" point of Ultimate++.

Or am I too demanding?

Of course not. It's an easy task - just need to find algorithm. I always been week in dates calculations - that's why I'm looking for solution out of box.

I compiled your DateTimeCtrl package and it works fine after removing reference on String in line 473 in DateTimeCtrl.cpp. I compiled with version 608.r21.
By the way, I had to change the image file location #define and the layout file location #define from relative to absolute spec, because they could not be found. Is this normal or does this effect only exist due to the fact that I have the DateTimeCtrl package in a totally different directory tree as the upp sources?

I'm sorry for any trouble. Yesterday I did many fixes due to gcc and linux compatibility (including that ones you're describing). When I also add ability to choose first day of week I will release 1.07

I have found a small bug. In ReadOnly mode, user can click on drop button, dropping the calendar.
I added a line to void DateTimeCtrl::OnDrop() method as first line:
if(!IsEditable()) return;

Now it works perfectly. Btw thanks for this good work Smile

found a small "bug"

when clicking on today but you are in another month or year the calendar won't change to todays month and year:
changed Calendar::LeftDown(Point p, dword keyfile)
[...]
if(aspopup) {
[...] 
} else {
   [...]
   RefreshDay(prevday);
   if(istoday)
      SetDate(dt); //this line was changed
   else if()
      [...]
}

you are welcome,

another "bug" when compiling with 610-dev4:
since 610-dev3 the function "IsXpStyle()" is gone, so the following line in
DateTimeCtrl.icpp should be changed:
void Calendar::PopUp(Ctrl *owner, Rect &rt) {
   Close();
   Reset();
   
   SetRect(rt);
   //Ctrl::PopUp(owner,true,true,IsXpStyle()); I am old!
   Ctrl::PopUp(owner);
   open=true;
}
