Detailed Product Description
Dates - What a PAIN!
I'll admit it, I HATE dealing with dates. There's too many RULES! Sometimes 2/29 is legal (quick, is 2/29/98 a valid date?), sometimes it isn't. And let's not even THINK about different countries! Did you know that we're the only country that enters dates mm/dd/yy? Or, for all you Y2K mavens out there, should that be mm/dd/yyyy? Well, Sheridan Software comes to my rescue once again with Calendar Widgets, a collection of controls designed for making displaying and entering dates simple and independent.One if by Months
Sheridan's MonthView control is a spiffy control that displays days by the month, up to 3 months at a time. It optionally displays a picture to give you that familiar old pin-up calendar look and feel. MonthView has elements that display the current date, the selected date, the current month, the days of the month, the days of the week, everything you'd ever want on a monthly calendar display. You have a scrollbar that you can use to scroll the months and years. You can highlight days in different colors to represent things like scheduled meetings, holidays, vacations, etc. You can even bind it to a database! It's truly simple to use.Two if by Years
Sometimes you want to display more than a month at a time; that's where Sheridan's YearView comes in. This looks like that page in your date planner that lists all the days in the year. Just like the MonthView control you can highlight specific days to represent whatever you need. The yearView control has elements to display the month, the days of the week and month, the current and selected date, and a scroll bar to move forward and backwards in time. You can bind the YearView to a database, if you need to.Dropdown Easy to Enter Dates
The Sheridan DateCombo control is an enhanced textbox that handles date entry. It has a drop-down calendar, much like a combo box has a dropdown list. Your users can click the dropdown button to pop-up a monthly calendar or they can use the spinner to roll dates up and down. They can even type directly into the control if that works best for them. You control the formatting of the date; it's up to you. Like the MonthView and YearView the DateCombo can be bound to a database.Schedule Your Users
Once you get to it; the daily schedule of your users is one of the hardest things to enter time and display. The Sheridan DayView control makes entering and displaying a daily schedule as easy as writing on your calendar. The DayView works by allowing your users to select a time and enter their appointment info. You can even display a color coded TaskBar so that they can see the whole day at a glance, even if the time they're interested in isn't visible. In addition to the TaskBar the DayView control displays times in the intervals you select, a list of tasks or events, and one or more icons based on choices you set up. The DayView control is bindable to a data control, like the rest of the controls in Data Widgets.Sheridan Makes it Simple
