"Calendar" plugin (1 Viewer)

[carreno]

Hello,
I am French, thus sorry for my English.
I begin in the programming. Can you me help, please.
I seek the means of associating the buttons has part of the file skin(XML).
Can you indicate the code to do that.

I don't know anything about this, but have you tried http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/PluginTutorial/PluginTutorial.htm?

By the way, I love your calendar. I don't know to much about the french week, but I think recalling that the L is for "Lundi" making it stand for Monday, making the S and the D the weekend. And I love having two of them in a row! .

Hi -

I seek the means of associating the buttons has part of the file skin

I'm not sure what it is that you are asking?

If its how do you link a control (such as a GUILabelControl) to an element described in the markup then you have one of two ways, the first and most verbose would be to do something like:

		[SkinControlAttribute(2)]
		GUIButtonControl _pauseButton;

Alternatively you could bind an instance in markup to field in a class using the following code:

			_tetris = GetControl((int)Controls.Tetris) as MyTetrisControl;

If this doesn't answer your question please expand on your previous request and we shall do our best to help you out.

Cheers,
Smirnuff.

I started from this tutorial, but it does not speak enough about the actions possible with the buttons.

thank you.

Hello Carreno,

Probably I am way too early with this - you probably still have a ton of development planned.. But I think this is such a good idea that I want to give some feedback already! This is one of the things that can improve the WAF (wife says: "hey, you mean it can actualy do something USEFUL?')...

- depending on screen size the columns in the actual calender are out of alignment

- I did not expect it, but it actually already handles languages very nicely. The only exception are the weekday letters at the top of the calendar. I think you could get the weekday strings just like you do for the months and trim them to the first letter.

- the user has to be able to change the year. By Christmas I will want to know what January 2006 is going to look like...

- to be really useful, in addition to displaying the calendar, how about the possibility to add events and highlight them in the calendar? Maybe add little icons for scheduled recordings (from the planner) .

- how about getting one of those trivia of the day from the internet? "Today, in 1836, Dr. Bellcaire from Paris built the first working computer but it was lost in the mail and everybody eventually forgot all about it"...

I'm really looking forward to the beta of this plugin!

Cheers and keep up the good work,

René
