CBCGPPlannerManagerCtrl

Detailed Description

The CBCGPPlannerManagerCtrl (Planner Control) class implements the functionality of a tool that allows to create appointments (events) and manage them.

An appointment is an entity, which has two main properties - start time and finish time. Appointments can be persisted in an external storage. The Planner Control has four view types. Each view represents the existing appointments differently.

The base class for all views is CBCGPPlannerView (do not confuse the name "view" with MFC's CView).

The printing support is provided by the CBCGPPlannerPrint class and by four derived classes, which implement print support for specific views.

The CBCGPPlannerManagerView class allows easy integration with MFC's document/view architecture. This class is derived from CView, so you can just plug it into a document template.

If you're not using CBCGPPlannerManagerView class, then you create the Planner Control in two steps. First, construct the object, second, call CBCGPPlannerManagerCtrl::Create and the Planner Control is ready to use.

The following code illustrates how to use the Planner Control in application:

Copy

// Add AfxOleInit () to the application's InitInstance

CBCGPPlannerManagerCtrl m_wndCalendar;

// Create planner control:

m_wndCalendar.Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, rectCalendar, this, IDC_CALENDAR);

// Create a new appointment: today, 9:30AM - 10:30AM, name "Meeting":

COleDateTime now = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();

CBCGPAppointment* pApp = new CBCGPAppointment(

COleDateTime(now.GetYear(), now.GetMonth(), now.GetDay(), 9, 30, 0),

COleDateTime(now.GetYear(), now.GetMonth(), now.GetDay(), 10, 30, 0),

_T("Meeting"));

// Add this appointment to planner:

m_wndCalendar.AddAppointment(pApp);
