You can convert an field type to another.  If that was your question?

Or instead of having to convert, please define a field in the object definition as a date field, it will automatically be mapped to calendar control.

hi thierry ,

I suspect for what you need to use events or tasks: check [View:http://documentation.progress.com/output/rb/doc/#page/rb/adding-events-to-a-calendar.html#:550:50]

So when you create your object definition, add the attribute that is most appropriate for your use case:

  • Event Objects with the Event attribute represent scheduled activities or meetings that have a start time, duration and group of participants associated with them. Event records can be displayed, created and managed in the Calendar view, and can be exported in the standard iCalendar format. The following fields are added when this attribute is enabled: Event Subject, Date/Time, Duration, All Day, Private, Description, Location, Assigned To, Pop-up Reminder.   

  • Task Objects with the Task attribute represent deadlines, follow-ups or to-do's that have a due date and one or more assigned users associated with them. Task records can be displayed, created and managed in the Calendar view, and can be exported in the standard iCalendar format. The following fields are added when this attribute is enabled: Task Subject, Due Date, Priority, Private, Description, Assigned To.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Thierry.

PS: When you ask a question, it helps to describe what you are trying to achieve - even post a very sample app to illustrate - that usually gives support a better chance to answer you very quickly.

hi ,

thank you very much , I already know these two types (Event Objects,Task Objects ) , I need I result similar to this . my question is : is there any possibility to get the sime result with other method ?

Yes there are other methods, that's why it helps if you describe the use case we could answer more appropriately.

In your case, are you not able to use these attributes?

Other ways I can think of is to use APIs to create a record either from client side or from server side.

You can use rbf_createRecord() on client for example from a custom button.

Another example: you can imagine a trigger, which upon update of course session object would create a task object.  See documentation.progress.com/.../

the idea is to create a course schedule for a school. so I have to fill in the boxes of the calendar with the previous one form (the image already sent last time on 25/04).

is it useful to synchronize with Google Calendar ?

The calendar is already using the Kendo ui scheduler.  So when you create events or tasks they are rendered inside calendar.
