There is a FLTK based library called 'FLEK' which includes a widget called 'FL_Calendar' and an example demonstrating its functionality. FLEK is listed among the links on fltk.org here: http://www.fltk.org/links.php?V99+Q but the links lead to a dead end. I found a functional homepage for Flek here however http://www.tiger-marmalade.com/james/flek/. Flek wouldn't compile for me in the normal way, so I separated just the calendar related parts, and was able to compile the example. It seems to behave just as you describe, except it only pops up in one place, but thats probably easy to change. So in case it is of interest to you I have put the Fl_Calendar part of FLEK in a zip file here: http://members.optusnet.com.au/msephton/fltk/calendar.zip _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
