Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Open Web2cal Calendar Component from Desktop Application Form

    Is there a way to have my desktop form open or call a Calendar component I created using the alpha 5 add in?

    Open your form in design mode. Ensure the Task List, Toolbox is selected.

    With the Toolbox visible select Supercontrols, whatever that means. Among the choices are Web Content, HTML Content, and Calendar, whatever those might be. Possibly one of those will be suitable to your needs.
    There can be only one.

      Thanks, but I tried all of those as drag and drop and if I try and use the Calendar I created it fails, stating I need to use a Grid component not a Web2Cal component.

            Re: Open Web2cal Calendar Component from Desktop Application Form

            You can't have a variable "persons name". Could have "persons_name"

            What is the general format of the url needed?

            See the documentation link New SuperControls V9 for a somewhat brief explanation of how to dynamically construct the url via template.

              The url is calendar dialog. I need to call it from a desktop form and pass some info into it. The most basic being the groupId for the (Calendar) to see specific schedule. I see demos using all web components and it appears easy to do using arguments in the action call, but I'm not calling it from a web dialog or web component, I am using a desktop button.

                I am using a desktop button.
                Code for button is? Action script element to Open a URL?

                The xbasic behind Open a URL, as example could be

                'Open a URL: 'www.google.com'.
                URL_var = "http://www.google.com"
                sys_open(URL_var)

                Modified to use a variable and search for Alpha Software

                'Open a URL: 'www.google.com'.
                'open to a search for Alpha Software
                addon = "Alpha+Software"
                URL_var = "https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q="+var->addon
                sys_open(URL_var)

                  Would you know how to pass some text from the calendar into the events dialog when it opens?

                    Afraid not. I don't know anything about your calendar or how it operates or what events it might have.
