select a date on .NET month calendar

If that's the case, you can move the set font bold to the initial case.

Thanks for your suggestion, George,

This means I have to be careful which row and column to set font bold in the "Initialization" Case Structure {see attachment}.

But before proceeding, I need to discuss with my users about LabVIEW application, not the same with its counterpart in Windows.

I'm glad you found that.

Please tell us the difference in detail.  Maybe we can mimic the C++ application.

Hello George,

See attached:

(a) "picktime_quick_fix.jpg" for the difference, and

(b) "picktime_time_display_value_change.jpg" for the reason why this event structure can't handle multiple dates if nested inside a FOR loop ?

Please add detailed description for the images.  I can't read your mind.

Sorry, George,

For "picktime_quick_fix.jpg". I just output a STRING indicator containing the following text:

"Here are the dates of October 2016 that you can click on to retrieve corresponding data:

11, 18, and 24

As for "picktime_time_display_value_change.jpg", I thought this event could be nested inside a FOR loop for multiple dates, but I'm wrong, so forget it!

So it's no a direct response to my post regarding the difference between C++ and LabVIEW.

If you don't like the Select button, you can also do thing like click once to select; and click again to deselect.

Sorry, George, I only mean the difference in calendar representation between LabVIEW and C++-based Windows

I use "2020_10_09_NET_Month_Calendar_LV2018SP1_v02.vi" to show my users the comparison between .NET and G calendars. They don't like the G one because it pops up when called. So, I will go back to the .NET calendar. Thanks for your help!

As for "picktime_v02.vi", it is the "picktime_v01.vi" with everything hidden except the calendar and a text string.

The attached "Enabled String Array to Comma String.vi" is a utility subVI.

It seem you need to polish you skill a little bit.

You can't call a dialog VI in a loop.  That makes it keep on pop up.  Won't be able to close.

You need an event structure to allow user to select multiple dates from the .Net calendar.

Thanks, George, for your reminder. I need to hone my LabVIEW skills more before taking the CLD exam.

I implement "2020_10_09_NET_Month_Calendar_LV2018SP1.vi" based on "NET Calendar Basic Example.vi" obtained from the following link:

https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Read-selected-date-from-LabVIEW-NET-Calendar-control/m-p/877274?pro...

I would appreciate your explanation as to why my implementation does not work ? And, what are your suggestions to make it work ? Please, be specific, thanks!
