Currently selected Calendar date - a "Wish List" i

Dear AwareIM support

The other day whilst going through miscellaneous items, I discovered the very handy and powerful "Search_Count" attribute (why is text so small BTW - I need a magnifying glass to read this section!!!)

Can we not have an attribute that holds the the date the user last clicked on in a calendar view. It must be there else how would Aware know what BO's to populate the calendar with. It would enable us to do awesome supplementary things like queries based on this date - showing (in my case) several sets of search results with much more data than the basic "subject" that I get in calendar view.

My app allows members to select a date and then presents them with 3 sets of search results - fellow members who are coming to fly, the trial lessons due to turn up and a daily message from the duty instructor. Don't get me wrong It's working and not holding up development - but initial feedback from users is that the method of changing the date is cumbersome compared with how it used to be

Maybe I am misunderstanding the request, but the new calendar has the ability to attach operations to calendar appointments. The operations will appear once the user clicks on the right mouse button and brings up the context menu for the appointment. The appointment object that the user clicked on will be in the context of the operation and so the operation can use any of its attributes to do whatever it likes - for example, run a query.

This is going to sound cruel, but many people come to gliding in retirement years - because they have the time to dedicate to training. When it comes to computers they often aren't the sharpest knives in the box. It's taken me 20 years to get them to click ONE mouse button, let alon intruduce the concept of a left and a right button

My old system had an asp.net calendar control very similar in appearance to the date picker control that pops up next to a date or timestamp attribute,
. It was in one corner of the window All the user had to do was click on a day and the screen would automatically refresh with the data as described in the first post. It was simple, clean, effective.

Currently they have to select a menu option, wait for the modal to appear, (which uses a date attribute) open the date picker, select the day click "save"

don't get me wrong. system is working and I've added some workarounds "Forward 1 day" and back "1 day" in my "change date" menu item. I was just looking for a more elegant solution. I can send you a link to my old system if you want to see what I mean.

But hey - if there's only me wants this - don't bother - it was just a "wish"
