Create a new system Calendar for Windows (unmanaged code)
-
I want to replace the Window's stock (gregorian) calendar with an English version of the Hebrew(Israel) calendar. I know that I will have to code this (or at least hack the resources in a dll), but I don't know where to begin. On the "Date" tab, of "Customize Format" window, there is a "Calendar type" option available for some "Region Formats"... ie. Hebrew(Israel)... I would like to implement an English variant of the "Hebrew(Israel)" sacred calendar. Because there is currently no way to have that calendar format in the english language (from the system tray calendar, for example). I know that this will require coding, and most likely with COM. If there is a working solution that just involves resource hacking, that is fine instead. I don't know where to begin this adventure so I thought that I'd ask here. This is where I've started: Retrieving Time and Date Information (Windows)[^] , but I can find nothing about the system's calendar themselves (the objects). I will not use .NET for anything; If I am going to do this, I am going to do it right (with real native code). If anyone has any tips... even some debugging strategy that might shed some light into this tunnel -- it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Start with Google: hebrew calendar windows c - Google Search[^].
That actually helps a little (got a couple more results than my search @ DuckDuckGo.com). It looks like I can recreate the whole calendar experience to whatever degree that I'd like to. So the problem becomes integrating the "new" calendar into the Windows taskbar tray (replacing or complimenting the existing system calendar).

Of course I have... HAVE YOU? Don't waste your life "answering" a question if you have done zero research... thanks.
