Built-in Applications and System Data

Dates

To move a meeting half an hour earlier and give it a different (90 minute)
duration:

GetRoot().calendar:MoveAppointment(

"lunch with Ellen",
StringToDate("6/30/95 12:00pm"),
StringToDate("6/30/95 11:30am"),
90);

MoveOnlyOneAppointment

works just like

MoveAppointment

except that if

it finds a nonexception instance of a repeating meeting or event that fits the criteria,
it moves only that instance.

MoveAppointment

would move all the

nonexceptions in that case.

To move a single occurrence of a repeating meeting:

GetRoot().calendar:MoveOnlyOneAppointment(

"design meeting",
StringToDate("11/13/95 10:30am"),
StringToDate("11/14/95 2:00pm"),
nil);

The

IncrementMonth

function can be especially useful when moving

appointments.

This example moves an appointment two months ahead:

GetRoot().calendar:MoveAppointment(

"lunch with Ellen",
StringToDate("6/30/95 12:00pm"),
IncrementMonth(StringToDate("6/30/95 11:30am"),2),
nil);
