g'day
I'm making a calendar component, ie month view, week view etc, starting
basically from scratch drawing lines and strings etc with GDI+. Now after
checking out the mozilla calendar sunbird, i get the suspicion that they
somehow cheat and use html/css for their component. Am I right, and if so,
how and why do they do it? Let windows be windows and let web be web i say
:)
cheers

Parts of the UI of Mozilla & friends is written in XUL: http://www.xulplanet.com/
MS own XAML (to be released with Longhorn or whatever animal)
reinvents the same wheel.

well... since Mozilla Sunbird is open source, you could always download
the source code and find out ;)

that seems like an processor-expensive idea. It seems like #including an
entire web browser in every app that uses it. which is a bit of an overkill
for a calendar. but an interesting idea that i might consider nevertheless.
thanks for the help.

Hi
I'm making a custom component using GDI+, a calendar grid thingy. I paint

i just painted 3 nanoseconds ago, coz...

Hello.
I am using the ASP.NET calendar object and am looking to provide a "weekly

the calendar normally, but only display the current week and not any of the
other weeks within the given month.
If this isn't possible with the built-in component, has anyone else...
