MS Calendar Control

Nov 17, 2001 - © Maxim Karetnikov

a different, synchronized form. You can use the properties associated with a control to display or retrieve data.

The most common example of using Calendar control is given below. First of of, one should insert the Control to the document:

<html>
<body onLoad="setDate()">
<object id="Mscal" classid="clsid:8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02"
width="372" height="279">
<param name="BackColor" value="12632256">
<param name="Year" value="2001">
<param name="Month" value="11"
param name="Day" value="12">
</object>

Then, let's write the custom subroutine which will run when the document is loaded:

<script language="VBScript"> 
<!-- 
Sub setDate() 
     Dim dtToday 
     dtToday = Date() 
     Calendar1.Day      = Day(dtToday) 
     Calendar1.Month = Month(dtToday) 
     Calendar1.Year      = Year(dtToday)
end Sub 
rem --> 
</script>

In the above HTML/VBScript code snippet the date displayed by the calendar control is set to today's date using the native Date object. Notice that the ActiveX Object/control can be addressed as objectName.propertyName you can even invoke methods of an ActiveX Object/control.
