Implemented the orientation option. Runs ok. A couple of dumb oversights on my part resulted in the job taking a little longer than anticipated but, its now done. Taking a look at the D'n'D (Drag and Drop, not Dungeons and Dragons) options now. The idea is to implement exchange between a palette of toolbar items and an active toolbar. The C source code looks pretty complicated and I wouln't like to implement such features on a regular basis. But them isn't that the whole point of using Tcl? Develop the source code that does all the tough stuff one, and then add a command for it. In the Tcl community the mantra is 'Everything is a String'. This should read: In Tcl, every string is a mantra! Utter one little magic word and a whole pile of goodness occurs!
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...
