OT - popup calculator |
Wed, Jul 8 2009 8:52 PM | Permanent Link |
"Jeff Cook" | Kia Orana Does anyone know of a freeware with source (or inexpensive) pop up calculator that I can integrate into my applications? Need source so that I can add special calculations, in particular number of dates between two dates, date + no. of dates = ? and other things to do with renting properties.

David Puett | If you need to work with dates, use ESBDates

I envisage using a hotkey from anywhere in my app to bring up a calculator looking screen. If the active component held a date, that date would be loaded into the calculator and I could press "+" to add a number of days. Similarly if the the active component was an edit with valid number that would be loaded. Button to copy to clipboard and exit. If there is something out there already, then I don't want to reinvent it. Thanks for your help.

I've emailed you my homebrew lookup stuff. There's a calculator in there. You'll need DropDownForm from MustangPeak (freeware) and possibly some bits from TMS to use all the components. I didn't go for buttons on the screen to click because I thought it was easier to type in stuff like 1+2 than move mouse click 1 move mouse click + move mouse click 2 and in my usage of Calc I've always pressed the keys rather than clicked the buttons.

David Puett | I'd recommend just writing it. A while back I wanted to find an attractive
login dialog that didn't look like it was designed for windows 3.1 and that could show the status of the caps lock key. I looked and looked and looked and simply could not find one. I ended up building one and getting exactly what I wanted in an evening. You could build exactly what you wanted. Maybe two calendars side by side with the addition and subtraction buttons close. One calendar show the date working from and the other calendar shows the ending date. Building a dialog is extremely easy and not only do you immediately get what you want, but you also can modify to it as you need.

However you are right about ESBDATES them functions and procedures served me well in the past on a time and date booking form. I have my own question on that and will go now and post it as I dont want to hijack this thread mmmmmm Rita |

The popup calculator will just have to be the standard one that comes with Delphi but the date time hours minutes and seconds is all there. HTH Rita |

Being old school, I'm lazy enough to copy, beg, borrow (not steal) or even buy someone else's code if it will do the job. More time on the beach for me! Hark! Is that the surf roaring on the reef? The sky is blue. Nice and warm - why isn't that stiff doing it for me yet? I'm outa here!

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | Hi Jeff
Try the calculator component in the Orpheus Turbo Power library... it works very well and is now free/open source. I'm not sure whether it has been updated to D2009 (if that's an issue) but it certainly works well with previous versions of delphi.
