Mother's Day

[Egbert Zijlema]

Fellow programmers,

How to calculate Mother's Day (Father's Day), i.e. the second Sunday of May (third Sun day of June) for a given year.
See the source code forum.

Regards,
Egbert

Karl, all code in the source code section are just samples - for
further use by other programmers. In many cases, we have to tweak
the code quite a bit ourselves, to make it useful.

In this case, change lf.lfWeight = %FW_THIN in WM_INITDIALOG
to lf.lfWeight = %FW_BOLD and make the label a bit heigher, like
e.g. 50. The listbox height also needs to be smaller. Copy, paste
and recompile the following if you like:

'in DlgCallBack - %WM_INITDIALOG
  lf.lfWeight = %FW_BOLD

'in PBMAIN
  CONTROL ADD LISTBOX, hDlg, 200, years(),  10,  10,  35, 125, %LBS_STANDARD, %WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE CALL BoxCall
  CONTROL ADD LABEL,  hDlg,  201, "",       65,  40, 130,  50, %SS_SUNKEN OR %SS_CENTER

BTW, Egbert - the dates are not correct for us here in Sweden.
Our Mother's day is the last Sunday in May and Father's day is
the first Sunday in November.. I think.

Borje,

As you said yourself to Karl: "we have to tweak the code quite a bit.....".
Well, it's just an example how to resolve a certain day from a month. Modify it according to Swedish needs.
