Sheridan Ships Calendar Widgets

Reusable Components for Visually Displaying Date- and Time-Related
Information

Melville, NY, June 26, 1995. Sheridan Software Systems, Inc., the leading
developer and publisher of tools and reusable components for the visual
development market today will begin shipping Calendar Widgets, a set of
reusable components for visually displaying date- and time-related
information in Microsoft Windows-based applications. Included in Calendar
Widgets are four controls; DayView, MonthView, YearView and DateCombo. The
package, with a retail price of $139, includes 16-bit Visual Basic Custom
Control (.VBX) and 16- and 32-bit OLE Control (.OCX) versions. This
packaging of both Visual Basic Custom Controls and OLE Controls (created
from a common code base) in one package is the first in the new generation
of Sheridan Reusable Components.

"We believe that Calendar Widgets is both easy-to use for the novice Visual
Basic developer as well as extremely flexible and sophisticated in the
hands of a more experienced user" said Bob Wolf, Sheridan's President.
"Furthermore, by introducing the concept of Sheridan Reusable Components,
with both Visual Basic Custom Controls and OLE Controls created from a
common code base in one package, we are providing the developer with a
given set of common functionality for a variety of host development
environments, all at one great value. This should make it easy for
developers to migrate their applications to additional host environments
as they become available. In addition, because of the common code base,
any future enhancements will automatically be reflected in both the Visual
Basic Custom Control and OLE Control versions."

MonthView displays one to three months at a time for quick and easy
selection of dates. MonthView can be bound to any valid data source such
as the Microsoft Visual Basic data control. Individual days or
days-of-the-week can be disabled or hidden, enhancing date validation.

YearView displays one year at a time. It can be the foundation of any
year-planning application with its ability to add color and pictures to
individual days. Because the beginning month is modifiable, YearView is
perfect for corporate developers whose fiscal year does not start in
January. It can also be bound to a data source.

DateCombo offers total flexibility in specifying the input and format
masks, so dates can be entered easily and correctly. The user can drop
down a full-featured version of MonthView for even easier selection of
dates. DateCombo can also be bound to any data source.

DayView is the perfect control when a daily time schedule needs to be
incorporated into an application. Whether for an Executive Information
System (EIS), a PIM or group scheduling application, DayView can display
tasks in a variety of formats. The time intervals can be set from 5 to 60
minutes. An optional color-coded time bar shows an entire day's tasks at a
glance.
