Let’s first talk about the looper based calendar. We begin by place a looper control on our window or page. Open up the properties of this looper control and select the “Details” tab. The key here is that we need to have “Variable Column Width” and the number of columns should be set to 7, representing the number of days in the week (of course you already knew that).
Next we want to drop a static control onto the first cell of our looper. We will erase any text in the display of this control and for the purposes of this demo we’ll name this control “stc_day_num”.
Next we want to put our column headers for each day above the appropriate column. To do this, we first want to create a shape control that is the same width as our looper control. We then place static text fields “inside” this shape control so to speak. By using the shape control we can make the width of the shape control match the width during resizing and then resize our static text column headings using some basic math to match the correct width of the cell.
