Another widget implemented! On the whole the implementation of this 'little beasty' has been more toilsome than I first anticipated. Whilst the item is listed as a Gtk Display widget it is, in fact, not a Gtk widget but a Gnome desktop item. As a result it has not been possible to use the core gnocl events handling routines but a custom set which have been added to the statusIcon.c module. Another change had been need too. Because Gtk+ and not Gnome is cross-platform, implementations of a similar widget to the statusIcon for both MSWindows and MacOSx would need bindings to a different set of libraries. So, to prevent compatibility issues I've moved all the code for this widget over to the GnoclGnome package. So far all works well, event, popups flashy icons, sounds and so on...
Given this module some attention today. Added some of the more package wide options to the module and created customised handler for setting the month. (For some odd reason months are are counted 0-11 whereas days are 1-31.) There's still a little more to do to this one including the addition of code to store diary details. Here's the working test script to show the range of options at work. The percentage substitution string item %e explores something that I've been toying with, the name of the signal/event that initiated the call. Ok, a script can keep its own internal trace but who knows, it might prove useful. #--------------- # calendarTest.tcl #--------------- # Author: William J Giddings # Date: 07/05/09 #--------------- #!/bin/sh # the next line restarts using tclsh \ exec tclsh "$0" "$@" #--------------- package require Gnocl set cal [gnocl::calendar] $cal configure -day 8 -month 7 -year 1956 $cal configure -rowHeight 1 -colWidth 1 $ca...
