Weekly Hours Selector

Environment:Windows NT 4 SP5, Visual C++ 6 SP3

Ever wanted a grid selector like the one used in User Manager for Domains or the one in Replication Schedules for Exchange.  I couldn't find a good enough, small enough or cheap enough control anywhere, so I created my own.  It has 2 simple methods (GetHoursArray & SetHoursArray), and 2 simple events (Verbose & Click).

• The control is set using the Mouse, Keyboard or call to SetHoursArray(VARIANT osaArray) method.
• The control is read by using the call to VARIANT GetHoursArray() method.

An Entire Week can be kept in 84 Bytes if each interval is 15 Minutes in length.
i.e.) (24HoursPerDay * 60MinutesPerHour * 7DaysPerWeek) / 15MinsPerQuarter = 672Bits / 8BitsPerByte = 84Bytes

// Variables (l_ocal & m_ember)
CHoursSelector 	m_hsTimes;	// Defined in the Class Wizard

 COleSafeArray	l_osaHours;	// Set based on the return from GetHoursArray
 char		l_szArray[84];	// Assigned with a loop

 // Reading from the Control
 unsigned char 	cBits;
 l_osaHours = m_hsTimes.GetHoursArray();

 for( long x=0; x<84; x++ )	{
  l_osaHours.GetElement( &x, &cBits );
  l_szArray[x]= cBits;
 }
	
 // Check a point in time (here it's 10:15am Jan 5, 2000)
 COleDateTime	l_odtDate(2000, 01, 05, 10, 15, 00);

 // Sunday=0
 long	lOffset = ( ( ( l_odtDate.GetDayOfWeek() - 1 ) * 1440 ) + 	
  ( l_odtDate.GetHour() * 60 ) + l_odtDate.GetMinute() ) / 15;

 int	nByte = lOffset / 8;
 int	nBit = lOffset - (nByte * 8);

 if( ( ( l_szArray[nByte]>> nBit ) & 0x01 ) == 0x01 )	{
  // Item is Set
 }	
	
	
 // Writing to the Control
 unsigned char	cBits = (1 << nBit);
 l_szArray[nByte] |= cBits;

 for( long x=0; x<84; x++ )	{
  l_osaHours.PutElement( &x, &l_szArray[x] );
 }

 m_hsTimes.SetHoursArray(l_osaHours);
