Your blogger wanted to make small calendar library, so reviewing few components (more to come)
I will review PimFlash Professional. Your reviewer spend few days upgrading it from Delhpi 6 to Delphi 2009. It consisted of adding {$DEFINE D2009} and adding {$VER200} to code.
PimFlash Professional @ US$299 with source was one of the best (during those days) PIM components.
It had date calculations, holiday picker and various date pickers.
Base Class was TStringGrid in various manners:
- The Day view was 20 columns (8am to 5pm with 30 minute slots) and 2 rows (time area and white area for user to enter text).
- The Week view was (7 columns, 3 rows or (7 = Mon..Sun, 3 = Gray area, Time Area, white area))
- Month View was TPanel with drawtext (29/30/31 + 7 labels, 1 label for each day, and M...S on top)
The thing was quite inflexible, you had to design your own dialogs for add/edit/delete
PimFlash went out of business, probably due to introduction of DevExpress Calendar/Scheduling Controls.
