On the regular taskcoach mailing list I suggested that the start and
end values for the hour range in the Edit Effort dialog be controlled
by a preference setting either in the ini file or the preferences
dialog (or both).

The values are hard coded in class TimeCtrl, so the preference
settings would have to be passed there somehow.  The code is complex
and I wasn't able to narrow my focus through the obligatory
googling/mailing list searching, so I don't know where to jump in.

What I was thinking I needed to do was:

1) find some way to add a new preference value to the ini file

2) find out the correct TaskCoach idiom to get the preference values
to the TimeCtrl class

3) find out how to add the capability to modify the preference values
using the Preferences dialog so you didn't have to edit the .ini file
directly.

Any ideas on how to start, or where to look in the code?  I generally
try to start by trying to locate places in the code that do similar
things and modify from there, but have not seen anything so far.  Any
help appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
