The calendar window is relatively simple with the date shown in the window caption. There is a Today lable with a box containing the Current Date in it. To the right of it are two drop-down selection boxes containing month and year respectively. Below those objects is a sub-window containing day information.
Below the Day box is a label that will display the date in various formats depending what is clicked and how. Below the label is a Date Calculator area containing three data labels and a drop-down selection box. More about the Date calculator is found below. Bottom left of the calendar window are two small buttons.
How it Works
The first of the two small buttons toggles the calendar window to stay on top of other windows or not. The second button minimizes the calendar window to the system tray. Simply passing the mouse cursor over the calendar tray icon rsetores it.
Clicking the Today label returns the calendar display to the current day, month, and year. Right-clicking the Today label displays a simple help for TCB Calendar. The user can change to another month by selecting a month from the first drop-down box and pressing the Enter key. Change the year the same way with the second selection box.
Click in the Current Day box to the right of the two selection boxes to copy date in format yyyy-mm-dd to the system clipboard. Right-click to copy full date in the format mmmm, d, yyyy to the system clipboard.
Click a day in the Day Box to copy numeric value of the day to the system clipboard. Right-click to copy the full day name to the system clipboard.
