I'll try to give a step-by-step to give you a basic calendar...
Open up the Editor for a new config to make sure nothing happens to any existing stuff you have. You can merge this config later on if you like.
1. ---- Add Meter > Plugins > EventCalendar
- Under the Source tab:
1. ---- Select Function = DisplayDays
2. ---- hit the Configure button
3. ---- in the "Selection group, choose InThisMonth: you'll see all of the days within the month
4. -------- Leave "Omit Today" unchecked for now, you just want a simple calendar for now
5. ---- hit Okay and see that you have a text box with alot of oddly arranged numbers.
- Under the Display tab:
1. ---- The text box should have
%v in it, get rid of anything else that may be there
2. ---- choose what font and size you want, then adjust the "Line Spacing" and "Tab Size" values to adjust the space in-between the numbers
3. ----- Remember that the max # of lines will be 7x6 so make sure that the text box is large enough to fix 7 columns and 6 rows
4. ----- There should be some empty space to the left of the calendar, that's okay, it's just how Samurize lays everything out
That's it for a basic "Here's the days of the month" calendar. The show the days of the previous & next month, like a normal calendar, duplicate the calendar meter that you already made and go back to the Source tab:
- Under Source tab:
1. - hit the Configure button
2. - inside the Selection group, choose the "InSurrounding" radio button instead of "InThisMonth"
3. - That's it, just position this new meter directly over the existing calendar meter.
Now, for an event grid, which allows you to add events to keep track of, make a new Plugin meter for EventCalendar.
1. ---- Add Meter > Plugin > EventCalendar
- Under the Display tab:
1. - get rid of the "Plugin: %v" text and leave the text box blank, you don't need anything inside it.
- Under the General tab:
1. - re-size the meter to fit over your calendar display, you will probably have to play around with a few values.
2. - to help out with sizing,, check the Meter Grid checkbox. The Events Grid meter needs to have a ration of 7 to 6 with a multiple of 7 for the Width and a multiple of 6 for the Height.
3. - You need to divide the Width of the meter by 7, put the result as the "X Width" for the grid lines
4. - you need to divide the Height of the meter by 6, put the result as the "Y Width" for the grid lines
5. - keep re-sizing and trying out numbers until each square in the grid evenly covers each number in the calendar display
- Under the Input tab:
1. - check "Allow Input Controls"
2. - hit the "Add" button
3. - choose "Plugin Input" then hit the Next button
4. - in the drop-down box, choose "EventCalendar.dll" then hit the Next button
5. - choose which Input you want to add events with, "Left Mouse Click" is a good choice.
6. - hit the Configure Plugin button and choose "Enter Event (display events dialog)" from the pop-up dialog, hit Okay
7. - hit the Finished button
If the EventGrid meter is sized correctly, you should be able click anywhere on the calendar display and correctly add an event for that day. Remember, the EVentsGrid meter does not need to be the same size as the DisplayDays meter(s), as long as the grid lines and calendar days lines up, everything should work out. The grid needs to have a 7 x 6 ratio of Width x Height.
