Re: Calendar Code

Joe,

Since you asked.....  ;-)

I noticed that the various phones fall into three categories (re: 
calendars):
- Type I: 
  o  Use one date - event date (event up to 24 hours).
  o  Use two times - event start and end times.
- Type II:
  o  Use two dates - event date (up to 24 hours) and "repeat until" date.
  o  Use two times - event start and end times.
- Type III:
  o  Use three dates - event start and end dates (allows more than 24 
hours) and "repeat until" date.
  o  Use two times - event start and end times.

Currently, BitPim only supports Type I and II phones.  I would like to 
see Type III phones supported as well, as the newer LG phones (e.g., 
VX8300 and newer) will be of this type.  Here are my recommendations:

Update the Calendar GUI:
-  On the General tab, break the current "From" and "To" fields into 
their respective "date" and "time" fields.
-  For Type I and II phones, make the default "To: Date" a "false" field 
(i.e., red); also, give this field a new name.  Possibly set it equal to 
the "From: Date" or leave it blank.
-  For Type III phones, enable the "To: Date".
-  On the Repeat tab, add a new field calling it "Repeat Until:".
-  For Type II phones, use this field for the "end" date.  From a GUI 
point of view, it makes more sense.

If done correctly, there would be minimal, if non-existent, code changes 
to the current phones.  If there were some flag (say, similar to what 
Simon created in the "com_lgvx8100" module) to detect if the phone 
supported one, two, or three dates, and a default be set in the base 
module (e.g., com_lgvx4400), and changed only when needed (e.g., 
com_lgvx8300), I think we can make this work.

What do you think?

Regards,
Michael C.
