 I don't know how to put this question I have used the demo code to create a application.
I have used the theme Editor to edit the themes, witch is awesome.
Now I have started to work on the CATEGORIES ( I have 4 at this stage)
What I need to now know is how to add a new activity to a specific ID.
The Demo in this code sets the activity to CATEGORIES[0]
Code: private void handle(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.isPopupTrigger()) {
JPopupMenu pop = new JPopupMenu();
final Point p = e.getPoint();
pop.add("Add new...").addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String summary = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(Frame3.this,
"Please enter a summary");
if (summary != null) {
MutableDateRange dr = dateArea.getDateRangeForPoint(p, false, true, true);
ImmutableDateRange iDR = new ImmutableDateRange(dr.
getStartMillis(), DateRangeI.RANGE_TYPE_MINUTE, 30, null, null);
Activity act = new DefaultActivity(iDR,
new Long( (long) (Math.random() * Long.MAX_VALUE)));
act.setSummary(summary);
act.setCategoryIDs(new Object[] {CATEGORIES[0]});
ActivityDepository.getInstance().addBrokedActivity(act, this,
TimeSpanListEvent.ADDED_CREATED);
}
}
});
pop.show(dateArea, p.x, p.y);
}
}
So how do I set a variable that when I click on the ID name in the tree I can then add a activity for that ID
Thanks
Craig
p.s. I hope I have explained myself correctly

Hello Craig,
In the demo code I have some CategoryIDs stored in the CATEGORIES array and I'm just using the first one. You should just use the category ID that you want to associate with the activity instead on CATEGORIES [0].
Or are you wondering how to get the "active" category ID from the category tree?
Cheers,

The IDs are stored in the array, so to add for another categoryID try
Code: act.setCategoryIDs(new Object[] {CATEGORIES[1]});
Instead.

The category tree is just a part of the demo. It will be supported for 6.0 as is specified in the JavaDocs for it. You may use it but it's unsupported.

Have you tried the JavaBeans? Take a look at the flash demo on the left site on our site. You can use netBeans for instance to build your app "visually". It is the preferred way if you want to add something fast and easily.
You should also read the guides as they explain how to do things.
The timeframe for 6.0 is "the summer 2006", not more precise than that. Unfortunately 5.0 licenses will not work for 6.0 but there will be an upgrade option of course (about 50%).

Can Java Beans and Theme Editor work together?
As I have built everything with Theme Editor

Craig,
Yes, about three months away. So I would say two to four months until release, but I make no promises.
We haven't decided on a cross over period yet, but there will probably be a month or something that you will get 6.0 for free. It might be announced ahead of time or not. Not decided.
Unfortunately you can't mix ThemeEditor and JavaBeans. But it shouldn't be too hard to convert, though you'd have to do it manually. JavaBeans is the "way to go" for the future and they are more versitile.
Cheers,

Thanks Craig,
You should read the "MiG Calendar Tutorial", "Getting Started" and if you are using the JavaBeans also the JavaBean guide. They should contain everything you need to get started.
They are installed in the start menu if you install the evaluation. Make sure you are using the latest version as well, which is the one on our site.
Cheers,

I am on a MAC 
I have installed the Java beans into jBuilder X and jBuilder 2005.
I know that java beans will not work on 2005.
As soon as you can let me know when I can buy a version that will allow me to get version 6 I will buy it
I don't understand this. I have been though the getting started F I week or 2 ago, but I did not see where you can have 1 or more calendars
i.e. Craig, Shelley etc

Ahh, a MAC..
Have you tried netBeans 5.0? It's what I use for JavaBean. Or try JFormDesigner it is the best for JavaBeans (it's only a designer though), but it have plugins for the main IDEs in beta.
By adding calendars I didn't understand you meant different calendars for different people. I just though you wanted to add a "calendar"..
You can have different calendars by using categories. You can set filters on the date areas to only show activites for certain categories. How you choose the categories are up to you, you can for instance us a dropdown.
We made a category tree in the demo app. Since it is toggling categories on and off as well as showing them different columns you can use that code as a reference. The category tree can't currently directly be used though so you have to make your own way of selecting categories.
Cheers,
