Scheduling Control

Hi All

Has anyone had any experience with Scheduling/Appointment controls. They
provide an Outlook style interface. I need to use one in a project and
wonder if anyone can recommend any.

Thanks Harry

If you're using Win2K or XP or later, the following
represents the Task Scheduler of the Operating
System. You can insert a task into it, typically it's used
with .vbs or other sorts of script files to run some sort
of task. On your computer, click upon Start, Run, and
type in the following. Watch the word wrap...

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe

::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

You can also find it by clicking upon Start, Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks.

Ed Morcillo has some VB6 code here... scroll down to
"Using The Task Scheduler".

http://www.mvps.org/emorcillo/en/code/vb6/

It seems to be recommended for XP with no mention of
other OS's. It also requires Edanmo's olelib typelib, which
is at the top of the above linked page. I haven't tested that
so let us know if that's what you're looking for and if it
works for you.

By the way, the Operating System's Task Scheduler seems
to have been around way back with Windows 98 and NT4.
Alot of people never use it for anything and don't know
about it. In either way, let us know if that will work for you.

Hope that helps.

I think he meant Scheduler control as in the Calendar in Outlook.
For that I believe Infragistics has something.

Sorry guys, guess I did not make myself clear. I am looking for a control
that can be used for graphically display eg staff rosters/appointments.
Something like the calendar section of Outlook.

I've seen a free sample somewhere (maybe it was this one:
http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=7170 - but I think it was
something else I cannot seem to find in a hurry).
In my case, as I had some special requirements, I ended up writing the whole
thing myself, ditching the Infragistics control (Schedule 9X) in the process
(it was unstable in my environment, and is no longer being supported, unless
you use the .NET variant).
