Hi All,
I'm wondering if someone can share some html sources to display calendar 
helper window/popup for date input controls.

Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

I'm working one into xbHCL, if you get xbHCL, and give me a few weeks,
you could use that. 

BTW. it is a bit more complex than just some html, there is a fair
amount off java script code involved also!

Hi Sander,
Is there a definition of xbHCL anywhere that I can read? I'm busily writing
an xml xbptree based editor at the moment and wondering what your product
does.

Allow me to answer 

XbHCL incorporates the entire HTML syntax into the Xbase++ language. It does
this in an intelligent way so you can create highly complex html/dhtml pages
very easily. As well as simply defining any html tag, you can also create
very complex items with a single command - for example, you can create an
entire radio button group with the following properties:

  1. Any style attributes
  2. Hot-keys defined for each radio button
  3. Buttons can be aligned
  4. Alignment can be horzintal or vertical
  5. Labels can be justified left or right
  6. Labels can be to the left or right of buttons
  7. A button can be selected by default either by using it's
     label as an identifier or it's ordinal position in the group

You can write totally portable code for WAA/Xb2.NET, despite the differences
in the way you call form-functions. This portability mode allows you to
write forms, fetch http variables and cookies and send output using a common
syntax. This also works in non-WAA/Xb2.NET applications too.

As well as writing web pages, you can also generate Postscript and PDF
reports - simply write the document using XbHCL commands and when the
document is complete issue "HCL SAVE PDF" command. PDF/Postscript generation
supports outline mode and automatic index page creation.

No setup code is required - to start generating a document, simply begin
issuing XbHCL commands. You can inject your content into a template html
page, or if you don't supply one XbHCL will generate a simple template for
you.

XbHCL provides numerous callbacks which help automate aspects of page
generation:

  1. New Document
     called whenever a new document is created
  2. New Form
     called whenever a new input form is created
  3. New Tag
     can be called for any specific tag-type (e.g. <h1>) or for all
     tags. Called whenever a tag is created for which there is a callback
  4. Document is destroyed
     called whenever the document is destroyed, useful for housekeeping
     operations.

XbHCL directly supports AJAX and JSon 'live-page' technologies.

You can write sequentially to the html page, or specify parent tags where
new code will be injected. You can search for and retrieve tag objects
already existing in the page, change their attributes, move them and delete
them.

You can cut-n-paste JScript and VBScript code straight into your Xbase++
source.

Some pages containing tens of thousands of tags may be a little slow to
generate. In these cases, XbHCL offers a special RAW mode which is about
800% faster but at the loss of some functionality.

For creation of forms, XbHCL comes with a set of easy to use JavaScript
classes to provide client-side validation and exception handling.

As well as being excellent for writing web applications, XbHCL is also
useful for writing PDF reports, and for creating HTTP-based thin-client
applications.

When you purchase XbHCL you also get a free copy of Web-PDR, a problem
description report database similar to Alaska's knowledgebase. It comes with
a full-text-search engine and full source. Developed as a DLL, it can be
linked to WAA or Xb2.NET (or even both simultaneously!).

Hello Phil Ide


What are you using for PDF Creation ?
another 3rd party lib ?

Osvaldo,

> What are you using for PDF Creation ?
> another 3rd party lib ?

After creating a document (in memory) using XbHCL, issue the command:

HCL SAVE PDF 'myfile.pdf'

This creates a temporary html file on disk and invokes HTMLDoc.exe to
convert to either PDF or Postscript (and then removes the temporary file).

HTMLDoc is opensource, but the free binaries are only available up to
v1.8.23.  From 1.8.24, the binaries are commercial, with the latest version
being 1.8.25.

A copy of 1.8.23 (free version) is distributed with XbHCL, but it is
recommended to upgrade to the latest version from www.easysw.com/htmldoc
(it's really cheap).

Future versions of HTMLDoc (which are currently under development) will be
available as a library which can be linked to XbHCL negating the need for a
seperate application.

I use this one, which is released under GPL:

As Sander said, there will be one (or more) available with XbHCL, but in the
meantime, I use a Java applet embedded which is quite flexible.  I've
attached some of the more interesting ones I looked at a couple of years
ago.
