Tcalendar and Mac OSX

[freddynerk]

Could someone pleas check for me the Tcalendar component.
When I create it all I get is a transparent screen.
If I use the Dateedit control I need to do a Forcr quit to get out of the program.

Thanks in advance

TCalendar is not (yet) implemented for Carbon. See http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=10051

I noticed that the last mod was done in 2008. 
Do you think we will ever have a Calendar working on the mac platform?
I want to create lots of programs which I would love to have working on a mac as well as the humble pc.

Frankly speaking, i think we'll get native mac calendar with Cocoa widgetset finished.
Cocoa widgetset development is currently freezed (waiting for some FPC updates)

You can make a platform independent Calendar, based on LCL components (i.e. TStringGrid), rather than system-native calendar widget.
Btw, if your calendar is good, it might be become part of LCL, as a replacement for missing Carbon native-calendar.

Patches are always welcomed.   Let's help each other.

The ported Orpheus includes a calendar control that works with Carbon:

The current version requires Lazarus 0.9.26, but I'll be updating it for 0.9.28 soon.

Thanks.

Hi Phil,
I am using 0.9.29
Will this work for me or do I need to wait for the new version to come out.

Freddy,

I've committed my changes so you should now be able to compile the ported Orpheus package with Lazarus 0.9.27 or 0.9.29 and try out the TOvcCalendar control.

svn co https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr/components/orpheus

If I don't find any other problems between now and when 0.9.28 is released, this will be the official release of Orpheus for 0.9.28.

Thanks.

Searching in apple developers docs, i've run into CalendarView sample. It's quite simple (and out-of-date) calendar-view control.
I've converted it to pascal, modernized some of it's parts and added it to Carbon.

freddynerk, you might want to test it, please update to r21819. Though it's not fully implemented, yet.
