Introduction
------------
Rex is a great tool. We all know that. But the calendar function has a lot room for improvement. Scrolling through the day or weeks is slow, it does not offer a good overview over a longer time period and also does not show the display the days of 3 month on the screen with their week number and the possibility to scroll on month level.
It also can read holidays from the calendar and display them.

Description
-----------
Week-planner is a stand-alone addin for the REX6000. It does not need any other addins or libraries. It also can be moved with adder to wherever you want to.

If week planner is started it will get the CURRENT DATE and display starting from the first day of the current month as many weeks as possible. The current day is highlighted by a small rectangle and the date is displayed also in the right part of the status bar.
The top row shows the name of the month if the first week of this month is displayed. On the left of this row you will find the year of this 1st month (just 2 digits, e.g. 03 for 2003). 
So, if e.g. the last 2 weeks of 2002 are displayed, you won't see "December" printed but the displayed year will be "02".  As soon as the first week of January 2003 is displayed in the leftmost column, a "03" will be displayed at this place.

The MENU MON->SUN/SUN->SAT in the title bar gives you the possibility to change the first day of the week in the display. Sundays are always displayed dark.

Week numbers are displayed in the second row. The week number in each column is determined by the Monday of that week.

The SCROLLBAR will scroll one week forward or backward. This can result in 2 columns, if a week is split in 2 month.

The UP and DOWN BUTTON (on the right side of your REX) will scroll by 1 month forward or backward).

The BACK BUTTON will relocate you to the current month the same way as it was done when the addin started.

The HOME BUTTON and the HOME SYMBOL in the title bar will terminate the application.

The INFO SYMBOL in the title bar will give you the version number if this addin. 

The ENTER BUTTON will read holidays from your calendar.
These holidays are events in the REX calendar with the following strings in the place field: "Holiday" or "United States" or "Deutschland".
If you use Outlook as PIM, then you can use the function in the menu Options to create these events (See the Outlook documentation for more information). All the events that Outlook creates have the Category "Holiday", but unfortunately this field is not synchronized into the REX. So I had to use the Location field from outlook (which is synchronized which the place field of REX). If You use a US version of Outlook and add the US holidays to your Outlook calendar, they will have the location "United States". If you use a German version of Outlook and you add the German holidays, they will have the location "Deutschland".
If you want to have any other dates displayed dark in this application, then you just can add a event in your rex (or your PIM) and type in any of the 3 strings in the place field.
You only have to read the holidays once per run of this addin. But you don't have to read them (since this takes a while), if you don't want them to be displayed.
If you touch any of the holidays (after reading them) the description will be displayed in the left part of the status bar and the date in the right part. 
If you touch any other day, the status bar will be cleared.

Limits:
-------
The application only stores 100 holidays from the calender. If you have more, delete the old ons ;-)
The name of the holiday is limited to 25 characters.
