The author of this article does not take any responsibility for any damage done or caused directly or indirectly by this source code or an application using this source code. However you are not allowed to sell the source code for profit. This control and the source code are free to be used with commercial and non commercial software. This is one of the modifications I will be making to this control in the near future. One of the things I learned about the original Outlook Calendar control after I created this control was that it can display week views from 1 to 6 weeks at a time. This is a feature I will be adding later.

Does not support drag-and-drop of date items from one date cell to another.

Does not support date items of more than one day.

This is a work in progress so further additions to the code will be coming.

This code compiles successfully in VS 6 and VS.

I have not tested it on any other versions of Windows, but the only function I would worry about is GradientFill, but according to MSDN it is available as of Win 98 so it would work fine from that version on.

This code has been tested in Win 2000 and Win XP Professional.

If you want this you are free to modify the code. It is completely written using MFC (no ATL, no Unicode, no.I hope you will find this control useful and use it in your applications. I did not like the one that was already available but I wanted the look and feel to be similar to MS-Outlook. This piece or code/control was developed to help me display appointments and tasks in a Real Estate program that I am developing.

I needed a control with similar functionality, but not exactly the same as the Calendar control found in MS Outlook. Like many developers I searched within the CodeProject and other sites for a control similar to this one but could not find one so I decided to create my own. Below are a couple of screen shots of the control: Month view

Study the code in the demo, there you will see how to access the date item data when overriding clicks and double clicks. It supports similar features as the MS Calendar control. This is an attempt to reproduce the functionality of MS Outlook Calendar control as it appears in the Calendar view.
