Thank you, Rick. You just saved me hours of unfruitful searching and
a lot of aggravation!

Hi David: I dont think you will find a single class for all Calendar
Objects even under a single platform like Visual Studio.
There are diferent Calendar classes for diferent needs. There are
calendar classes based on WPF and Silverlight, Winforms Projects and
ASP Web Projects.
There are also diferent classes such as the MonthCalendar and
DatePicker Classes which are also Calendar Classes.
These are composite classes derived from other classes and not a
single "base" class. Scripting a base class would likely not work
anyway since the base class is not what appears in the DOM of a User Project.
In addition for any Third Party calendar classes there will be an
unlimited number of variations on controls derived from any attempt
at using a "base" class. DOM representations, Operating Systems and
programming Languages in play dictate an unlimited number of
variations to consider when trying to build a Global Script for all
calendars displayed on a users machine.
If there is something like that in languages or operating platforms
other than Visual Studio I am not aware of them.

Subject: Base Calendar Class
Hello,
I am new to scripting and I'm trying to learn by writing a VBScript
app for calendars in general, and for a Gregorian Calendar in
particular. I figured there surely is a base class for calendars
from which all manner of calendars can be derived! When you
consider that calendars are based on the astronomical events of
rotation and orbits, you can see the advantages of a class.
So, where can I find such a class? If I can get the Gregorian one
working, especially since there are already many such wheels
already invented, I may branch out into other calendars.
I've looked at the CalculateDate app and can kinda sorta see what
is going on, but I'm not familiar enough with the foundations and
do not yet have the confidence to try anything ol' thing. Hence, my query.
thanks in advance for any pointers/references. I don't know if I'll
have to dig into MicroSoft, GWMicro's tool kit, Homer's shared
objects, or where.
Dave
