SUMMARY

The ActiveX Calendar Control provides a way of displaying calendar-related events on a Web page. ActiveX Controls may be combined to add greater functionality to your Web pages than would be possible with a single control.

NOTE: Microsoft Office 97 installs the ActiveX Calendar Control. If you do not have Microsoft Office installed, the Calendar Control may not appear in the Pick A Control list.

To display the date you selected in a message box, follow these steps:
  1. Open a Web page in FrontPage Editor.
  2. On the Insert menu, point to Advanced, and then click Script.
  3. Click VBScript and click OK.
  4. On the Insert menu, point to Advanced, and then click ActiveX Control.
  5. In the Pick A Control list, click Calendar Control.
  6. In the Name box, type the name you want to use for this control. For example, type Calendar1. Click OK.
  7. Right-click the Calendar Control object, and then click Script Wizard.

    The Script Wizard appears. It is divided into three panes: the Event pane (left side), the Action pane (right side), and the Script pane (bottom).
  8. In the Script Wizard dialog box, click Code View.
  9. In the Event pane, double-click the Calendar1 icon. Select the Click event.
  10. In the Action pane, double-click the Window icon. Double-click the Alert icon.

    The following code appears in the Script pane: 
           Sub Calendar1_Click()
       call window.alert(msg)
  11. In the Script pane, delete msg. With the insertion point between the parentheses, double-click the Calendar1 icon in the Action pane, and then double-click Value. The code should now look like this: 
           Sub Calendar1_Click()
       call window.alert(Calendar1.Value)
  12. Click OK.
