Is there a way to add event details using a calendar object vs. those dumb field entry boxes?

I have switched from PC to Mac over a year and a half ago, and have been plagued with the "dumb" date entry boxes in iCal and now Reminders on the mac. For one, they don't show you the DAY OF WEEK for an event, it assumes you are parked on that day, but of course reality sets in and causes constant date changes for events. Picking a date in the future would be much more helpful if Apple followed some usability norms in iCal. For instance, if you are booking a flight online, those helpful little calendar objects pop up, and further, they are smart about "end dates and times" for events, knowing it can't be earlier than the start date. Apple iCal unfortunately always thinks you are creating an ALL DAY event, and when you change the start time, it creates the end time for the next day. Not very smart. Or is it me that is not very smart for constantly hawking every little data entry field for correctness. Why, oh why dear lord has Apple not given some usability attention to iCal on the mac??? At least match the interface of the iPhone with a nice little slot machine rolling control.
Is there an add in?
Is there hope that Apple will ever fix its lagging Mail and iCal apps on the Mac?
Please advise. Or just offer a kind word of consolation if there is no hope for a better interface.

In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
The code you posted is of little use since it uses custom classes so we can't see the behaviour of your code.
In general if you add a component to a Container at run time then you just use
container.revalidate()
This will invoke the LayoutManager and repaint the components in the container based on the new layout.

  • I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year.  Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar.  Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

    I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar.  When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in.  Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year.  The photo calendar is almost complete.  Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

    Hi,
    If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.

  • Is there a way to flag events on the Calendar differently?  I want to put bills in my Calendar on the days they are usually due (repeating monthly).  I want to flag them somehow when they have been paid.

    Is there a way to flag events on the Calendar.  I want to put bills to be paid (and have them repeat monthly) on my Calendar.  I would like to be able to flag them after they are paid.  I tried to put them in using the "Home calendar" blue, and them change them to purple (Work Calendar) after I had paid them.  The problem is that once I changed a bill from blue to purple it changed all upcoming bills for future months to purple also.

    You might want to try Reminders.
    Creat a Bill Pay list, add all your bills set a reminder to repeat every month and when you pay one just check them off as complete

  • Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

    Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

    Hi Emily ,
    You may face challenges doing this task in Acrobat .
    If you have created the PDF from word ,I would recommend doing the page numbering in Word, not Acrobat, since you have more flexibility with that program.
    Or the second option is ,if you know how to play around with java script.Here is the code for the same.
    Yeah, it's possible. Create a unique text field on each page with this code as the custom calculation code:
    event.value = romanize(event.target.page+1);
    Then place this function at the doc-level (I didn't write that one):
    function romanize(num) {
        if (!+num)
            return false;
        var digits = String(+num).split(""),
            key = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM",
                   "","X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC",
                   "","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"],
            roman = "",
            i = 3;
        while (i--)
            roman = (key[+digits.pop() + (i * 10)] || "") + roman;
        return Array(+digits.join("") + 1).join("M") + roman;

  • Is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    what do you mean by your first use of the word "window"? do you mean a visible frame? a section of the gui that the user doesnt see?
    or perhaps you mean you want to add multiple tabs to a single window, so that switching between tabs shows different windows?

  • Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?

    Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?
    I have a cluster with 90 values..  ninety!  yes that many.
    Change one bloody value and the prototype changes in the TestStand step...  Reload the prototype and guess what happens??!!??
    All the bloody values get reset to defaults!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
    If it was in one place, I could survive the ordeal.  But I have to change bloody prototypes in many places!!!!
    more AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I can't even copy the bloody values!!!!!!!  AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Are there any tricks that I am not aware of, or have forgotten over the years, or...  ...   something??!!??!???!!
    If there are none, I will have to post an improvement to TestStand..  I should mention I am using an older version (4.1).

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
    I am not not very famous with LV and its cluster types.
    So no idea if this works (it works for DataTypes updates very well and a LV cluster is Data Type so.... maybe)
    Make a copy of the step that has to be modified to an new sequencefile. 
    Make modifications the in the copy.
    Now you should have the same DataType Name but other contents in the container. Save it.
    Normally there should be a message box that tells you that version has been incremented. - Accept it.
    Set in StationOptions-File "Allow Automatic ...." to Never.
    Open original sequencefile. Now the there must be a type conflict. Accept/Apply to all  "Use Current Loaded.."
    You have updated the type.....
    Hope this worked,

  • Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address?  This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.

    Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address?  This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.  Is there some way I can open the contact list, click on all of the individual addresses to which I want to send the email without the list closing between each address entry, and have all of my address entries be listed to the email at one time?  Something like it works in Gmail.  I do not want to use set lists, I want to enter different addresses each time I send an email.  And I am a very slow typist, so I don't want to type the first few letters of each recipient's name.  It is much faster for me to just click on the e-mail addresses in the list as a group.  It doesn't make any sense to me to have to reopen the contact list for each address, when it should be so easy to click on all of the addresses I want at one time and then click once to add them all to the email as a group.  If there is a solution to this, please tell me.  Thanks.

    Vatlily,
    Try this:
    1. Select Mail>File>New Message.
    2. Select Mail>Window>Address Panel.
    3. Use (command+click) on the desired addressees in the Address Panel to create the list.
    4. Click "To:" on the top left of the Address Panel.
    The group that you selected will be added to the "To" field in your New Message.

  • Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text ?

    Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text options that my iPhone is giving me? I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.
    There are specific words that are popping up in the area right above the keyboard where it displays 3 word suggestions to choose from. This area seems to suggest words that I have typed before, I'd like to remove these words. Default seems to select the word in the center and when I'm typing fast on occasion it will recommend and select words that I don't need to use.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank youI would suggest upgrading to a supported version of the database. 9i has been unsupported for many many years now.
    And to answer your question... to the best of my knowledge, there is no workaround. It works as it works.

  • Is there a way to add a single jar to an existing shared library (war)?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to add a single jar to an existing and already deployed shared library (war) in weblogic directly?
    Basically, instead of building and deploying the war each time a new jar should be added to the list of jars present in the war and deploy it in weblogic, is it possible to make the process more automatic and efficient by just adding the new jar to the existing deployed war (no matter if the consumers must be reloaded)?

    Extract the WAR file and rearchive with theJAR file included.

  • Is there a way to find out details about, who approved the RMA on system using front end or back end?

    Is there a way to find out details about, who approved the RMA on system using front end or back end?

    But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
    out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
    timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
    project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
    I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
    never finding it again.)
    I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
    something) of every single file.
    There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
    and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
    Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
    If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
    From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
    Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
    Peace

  • HT202929 Is there a way to add a hyperlink to a collection of books or to all books of an author?

    Is there a way to add a hyperlink to a collection of books or to all books of an author?
    On iPad, a iBook link to iTunes won't work, as it opens iTunes Store instead of iBooks Store.
    I can't even find a way to copy a link to a search on iBook Store...

    You can't install more storage space later.  You get 30 days (I believe) to decide if you are unhappy with a phone and return it for a refund.  After that there is no trade-in option.  You have to see if you can sell it (tricky) and buy a new one.
