Re: ICS Generation

[Peter Reid via use-livecode]

Thanks all for the leads/links to Bill Vlahos' and Andre Garzia's developments, 
both look very interesting. I think Andre's vObject library looks to fit my 
needs better as it doesn't rely on other scripting technology such as 
AppleScript. I'll report back to the list how I get on with my very modest iCal 
support.

[Andre Garzia via use-livecode]

There is https://github.com/soapdog/livecode-vobjectlib it is fairly easy
to use but it is best if you use it while reading the specs because it is a
bit low-level.

Oh yeah, it's on github - I'd forgotten that :-)

But I haven't used it since (I think) LC 5.5 - so if you bump into any

Re: ICS Generation

[Alex Tweedly via use-livecode]

I don't know of one - but the minimal version (i.e. all-day events only, 
no repeating events, no multiple timezones) should be really trivial. If 
no-one comes up with something in the next day or two I'll try it as my 
weekend project.


Bob - if you want to interact with calendars, take a look at Bill 
Vlahos's library as Matthias pointed out. If you want to read (i.e. not 
write) ICS files I have a library for doing that - let me know and I'll 
check if it works with recent versions of LC and send it to you.


And if you are even thinking of programming something with times/dates, see

Re: ICS Generation

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Ditto. I would LOVE to be able to not only WRITE events but READ them too. On a 
Mac I could probably AppleScript it (given a LOT of time doing almost 
exclusively research and trial and error) but on Windows I think it becomes a 
lot more difficult/impossible without a real C compiled API. Microsoft does not 
have a method for communicating with their apps like they did long ago. Anyone 
who uses ACT can testify to that. There was a time when to use the ACT Outlook 
plugin the user had to be an administrator.

ICS Generation
