So are you saying that the example doesn't actually compile? Who wrote the example? Did the calendar control come with any demo program that you can compile and execute? > So if the > Calendar happens to be displaying the month and Year given the days provided > will display as Bolded text.

Are you passing values to the event handler, or is the calendar control passing values, and your event handler receiving them? > I can get them in the form, of an IntegerList, What's that?

The component should be calling its event handler when it needs to, and then you should implement an event handler for it to call. The component will tell you the year and the month, and it looks like you're supposed to pass back a Cardinal, which each set bit in that value indicates one day that should appear bold. You can set bits using the "and" and "or" operators. To set the third bit, for instance, you can run this code: Bitmask := Bitmask or (1 shl (3 - 1)); -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
