How to create a custom control on a form?

Is there an easy way?

We would like to put an 'agenda' (like daily/weekly/monthly tasks)
control on a Base form.

Any suggestions?

 What about using an option button: It can have one of three choices.

Trick question : you know there isn't ;-)

Errrm, the only thing I can think of offhand is a programmatically
created multipage/tab dialog box. Do you have Roberto Benitez' book on
Base programming ? I seem to recall it covers things like this.

Ferry ,

I think there is no easy way,
Doing things you want: use Dialogs instead of Forms, a bit more coding
is needed , but you can bield easely a "agenda" using the date from your
tables listed in a  handmade gridcontrol.
hope it helps

You can use an ordinary one-to-many relation where each task has one
period type (list box with period name and id) together with a subform
which displays the last execution of the main form's task. "Execution"
is another one-to-many relation where each action belongs to one task.

Alex,

The question really is: if LO is based on  an 'object broker' as UNO, is
there an easy way to add an object *without recompiling and building LO
entirely*.

Like with ActiveX controls: once you've created one and 'registered' it
you can put them on any ActiveX container and if you have a scripting
language available can actually make the control do some useful work.

Let's say I steel the code of Evolutions calendar window, can I build a
standalone control from that, register it with UNO, place it on a form
and fill it with data from Base?
