Popup calendar in the Notification area...?
-
Every now and then I have to try and work out what the date was last Thursday, or work out what day I next get paid on ;) I'd love to be able to click on something on the Notification area that would pop up a calendar that I could then scroll through, much in the same way that "Dave's Quick Search Deskbar"[^] does. I hate having to double click on the clock in the notification area and fiddle with the Date & Time Control Panel thingie. Does anyone know of a really nice, lightweight gadgety thing that will do that...? Cheers, Jon

I've used the Complete Suite from this guy for years... http://www.gregorybraun.com/Calendar.html[^] Not all of his products are free but this one is. It's a nice thing.
If we all used the Plain English compiler every post in the lounge would be a programming question.:cool:

Would that be anything like the process he said he hated, in the snippet of his original post below?

> something on the Notification area that would pop up a calendar that I could then scroll through Personally, I dock the taskbar vertically on the right side of the screen, which gives me plenty of space to embed a custom toolbar (right-click, Toolbars, New Toolbar) that simply points to http://localhost/tinycalendar.asp tinycalendar.asp is just a regular .ASP file that contains just enough script to generate the layout for a "tall but skinny" one-year calendar (one month per row, 12 rows). The "toolbar" itself is just the right size to show an entire month, and I have the script automatically scroll to the current month. No need for prev/next month buttons; just use the scrollbar. If you're familiar with the Outlook object model, you can also make the script access your appointment calendar and such to create clickable dates and what-not.
