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?

Werner
