interacting with google calendar
-
I am working on an MFC SDI applicaiton similar to ToDO list where user can enter various tasks for the day and retrieve them. I want to synchronize it with google calendar so that user can retrieve any tasks from google calendar into my application. Can anyone tell me how can I do it in C++? Google provides calendar APIs but I have not found anything on how to use them or even interacting with them using C++ code. I know xml and my application can parse and write into xml but no experience in interacting with websites or internet programming. Any input will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

AFAIK, the closest thing for you would be CLI/C++ (or may be Objective-C, if you are into that?). Here[^] is the API, just in case it could be of help. :)

I am new to .Net as well. So, just wondering whether I can add .net support to my mfc application. I downloaded the calendar sdk and in the sources folder, all files are in C# but there are some dlls also. I hope I should be able to use those dlls in my application directly provided these are COM dlls. Thanks for the reply.

.NET support for your MFC app? There is no such thing. :) Your app is either native or managed. To deal with the discussed Google APIs, your app must be managed. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. But still scratching my head about how can I interact with GData in my MFC application as it is not possible for me to do it in .Net It seems like it will be possible for me to do simple query and get response as described in this link. Since all this is totally new to me, so I am still trying to understand it. Thanks for the help.

Why are you repeating the word "MFC"? I simply don't get it. The core of the application that you are looking to develop is already written in managed code. So, there is no point in just writing the UI in MFC (I'm presuming you're doing this), for at least the reason that you can build feature rich UI with much lesser efforts with the help of .NET. I believe there must be samples too at code.google.com; just do a search.

No, whole of my application is using COM & MFC. My todo list is just a small part of it and my whole project does not use .Net in any way. So, i do not think using .Net will be possible. I hope I have understood you properly. :^)

OK, I get you now. I thought todo list was your entire application. And that's why I asked you to write your app in managed code. Besides that, I don't see a way you could use the google calendar APIs in your application, because that is entirely managed code. :)
