What would be the simpliest nicest way to create calendar/project manager that would show you either verticle/horizonal doesn't matter a day at a glance and show you the items contained, even a week in a view. Then onto month. Kinda like Microsoft Project.
Well, I would start with the calendar control, and then either a listbox or a combobox to display the day at a glance. Post back if you have any problems.
In fact I have another question.
How do I put a toolbar, but on the bottom. Like I want to put a quick chat toolbar on the bottom of a form and allow users to pick a user from a combo box and then type away.
Ok once the toolbar is on there, how do I create buttons for like of better terms and maybe have them rounded? Maybe I should use a image but can I make it "push-in"?
I'm currently using the Cool-Bar toolbar (Repetitive eh?), so far I can get text in there from the properties menu -> Custom. But nothing after that.
This board has seemed to be a great resource for information and I'm glad I found it, I've just purchased a book, and slowly but surely I'm learning little by little.
dglienna, thanks for the reply. I'm also currently using a calendar control to display a month/day for a start/end date. I want a viewer.Quote:

I've attached a screen shot of MS Project, and am showing what I'm talking about. I'm more of a visual person (visual basic?) so hopefully this will demostrate what I wish to accomplish.
Nevermind about the CoolBar command, I figured out how to make a bottom toolbar. Whee! I love tinkering with things.
*bump (I know this isn't good to do)
Come On I didn't stump you did I? I got one of them after posting
I don't know what that control is. Like a flexgrid, except it has the bars, which i don't think that you can do in a flexgrid. maybe a third party control?
dglienna, again, thanks for the reply. If you had to do this, how would you go about it? I mean this is Microsoft were talking about, they wouldn't code something like that and leave it out of VB would they? (Someone will come back and say; uh yes)
Anyways, another idea to throw around. I've been struggling with this. I'm very new to VB arrays I know PHP arrays like nobodies buisness however I think VB handles them differently, in fact I know it does (however there are similarities :P)
I have a chat application, I want to
a) on the client send a msg and have the format of parameters like this
[to]auser[msg]This is a msg to auser from me.
b) on the server. Log it (no problem yet), but how would be the best way to split it, bcause what if [to]Iamsendingyoua[msg][msg]This is the msg [to] you.
You get what I'm saying the brackets are a intentifier and tell what to go where. Maybe another syntax could be used. I'm so new to this VB stuff I'm boggled.
Maybe even (don't know how to program this) [to:user][msg:this is a message], but you still have to worry about what if a user types a bracket [msg:this is a message]]
How does our VB boards handle this, in fact Visual Basic in itself.
Also. Haven't done much searching. I don't have MS Access on this system. Cannot obtain it currently. However What would be the best/easiest method to learn the database structure, one line at a time. I've searched (google) and couldn't find a good enough response, my book isn't too clear either. (Some Book) and I may do mySQL cept is it easy to port? or am I better off with a text file and updating/deleting from there. I need something to keep track of... Tasks, Users Online, User Credentials, etc.
I'm almost there. Any help would get me OVER the hill on this VB stuff. I could really use it. Thanks. Oh and this is a last resort kinda think. I really don't want to bother ya'll b/c I know there is RTFM. I've done that. The MSDN is hard for me to read, it's design and the amount of writing hurts my eyes. Not as pretty and organized as my code you know!
But anyways Thanks!
